Welcome to the second part of my two-part article exploring the bull and bear cases for the net-zero transition.

The energy analyst says we can’t wait for more innovative energy sources to become viable… In a recent piece for By Invitation, Vinod Khosla, a venture capitalist, argued against efforts to maximise carbon reductions by 2030, on the basis that “hoping to deploy today’s innovations globally is unrealistic”. At the heart of his argument lies […]
