"over the cost of getting to net zero"
Really? Where? Sure looks like we've completely given up. Where are these costs? Who is spending any money on Net-Zero.

Germany and their out of control energy costs (while still only being at best 1/5 of the way there if you count things like thermal heat), are a good example.
California has a dramatically easier climate, and is similarly struggling - without even taking into account goods shipping/transportation, thermal heat in the less nice climate zones, etc.
California might have a chance of getting to actual net zero without completely breaking the bank. But it’s not obvious it will. Germany is an order of magnitude harder.
The US has flipped. Forget Net-Zero. It's Net-Positive, how can we get more CO2.
Like the movie The Arrival (1996)
How can we burn more coal, more gas.
Yup, it’s like when someone ‘tries to diet’, can’t handle it anymore, and then goes on a crazy binge.
I figure we’ve got at least a year or two before we start puking all over the place. Maybe less though!
Fun times, eh?
