DOE Chief Slams ‘Sinister’ Net Zero Goals As ‘Lunacy,’ Targets UK
by William James and Alex Lawler Feb 19, 2025
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Monday called a pledge to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 a “sinister goal”, and criticized the British government’s attempts to hit clean energy targets. [emphasis, links added]
Former President Joe Biden set a target in 2021 for the United States to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 to help fight climate change, in part by using subsidies to encourage an expansion of clean energy and electric vehicles.
“Net Zero 2050 is a sinister goal. It’s a terrible goal,” Wright said, speaking via videolink at a conference being held in London.
“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.”
