A few days ago, a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. Crews have since been burning off the toxic chemicals. Claims that's the air/water quality are safe are turning out to be false. Evacuation orders are even being lifted as people return to the area.
Train company is giving residents a $1000 inconvenience check so they can afford the cancer treatments.

Up until the 12:30 mark, this is the single most accurate video on the realities of the global energy situation I have seen. Then it goes full on advert, but the plain english explanation of why green energy will fail is superb.

isn't 2050 just a target? more about keeping the pedal down on the green initiative - to best nurture the possibilities of new and needed breakthroughs in the industry - than a hard deadline?
and when do we start shooting all the runoff waste into space?

I think the point was that given the resource competition and constraints it's not realistic, 2050 or 3050. There is always the possibility that some miracle advance will occur, but it's a big gamble give the predictions about how the climate will change over the next 100 years and that we haven't had a major scientific breakthrough in decades. More likely we will see dozens of green-tech Theranos style grifts than anything real.
