Even minimal increases (1-4%) in wind/solar raise electricity prices 11-17%. Reducing CO2 emissions costs $130 to $460 per ton. Disaster. Don’t believe us. Believe the climate bedwetters at the University of Chicago.

More inconvenient truth reported by the German NGO Urgewald: “The World Bank’s active energy project finance significantly favors fossil fuels over renewable energy — $21 billion to $7 billion”… about 25% of which is coal. Emissions are never going down.
