They’re claiming to target 2050 in the hopes that the EU won’t come down on them with a sledge hammer.

The fact they’ve cut all targets for 2030, and cut back all renewable plans tells you there’s no actual plan to hit net zero.

This was a pretty obvious end result when the head of their renewables group resigned in April and instead of replacing her they decided to “shrink the executive group” by exactly one headcount.

yeesh, yea that makes sense. I personally think it was obvious quite a while ago, but the greenwashing lobby would scream you down if you dared challenge the long term efficacy of such programs. I don’t pretend to know the solution but asking the person nicely creating the problem to please stop making the problem worse doesn’t appear to have been a sound one.

The thing that truly drives me nuts is people still scream and yell about small individual actions mattering when stuff like this is going on, it just seems like gaslighting to me.
