THE GND IS TOO CAUTIOUS:
Hydrogen, ammonia and a clean-fuel standard could help get the world to net-zero emissions (Rachel Koning Beals, 7/15/21, Market Watch)
Electrifying global transportation won't be enough to reach net-zero emissions in coming decades without pushing alternative fuels like hydrogen and ammonia, a large group of industry representatives and climate-change experts told the Clean Air Task Force.The group, although not perfectly aligned in how best to reach the emissions target backed by President Biden, global leaders and many industry heads, also found some consensus that a clean-fuel standard can play a critical role in driving the carbon intensity of transportation energy down to zero, CATF said in their report out Thursday. [...]Participants stressed in part their belief a transition to net-zero emissions must not hammer consumers with high costs, nor erode their bottom lines.
Make emissions so expensive that they hammer bottom lines and they'll transition quicker.
