U.S. Energy Secretary Condemns The UK’s Unrealistic 2050 Net-Zero Emissions Goals As “Sinister Goal”
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Monday condemned the 2050 net-zero emissions pledge as a “sinister goal” and criticized the U.K.’s clean energy policies, according to Reuters.
Former President Joe Biden set the target in 2021, relying on subsidies to boost clean energy and electric vehicles in the fight against climate change.
Wright said, speaking at a London conference: “Net Zero 2050 is a sinister goal. It’s a terrible goal. The aggressive pursuit of it – and you’re sitting in a country that has aggressively pursued this goal – has not delivered any benefits, but it’s delivered tremendous costs.”
At the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship event, Wright emphasized his top priority: for the government to “get out of the way” of oil, gas, and coal production.
