Yes, though it won’t be easy

. Europe is introducing tougher emissions targets, carbon prices are rising and consumers are showing a greater willingness to pay more for greener products. Several European countries have crafted strategies for hydrogen, the most promising replacement for fossil fuels in many industrial processes. Germany is launching the Hydrogen Intermediary Network Company , a global trading hub for hydrogen and hydrogen-derived products. Most important, low-carbon technologies are finally coming of age.

Taken together, these developments are allowing European industrial firms that have vowed to become carbon-neutral by 2050, which is to say many of them, to start putting money where their mouth is. Material Economics has identified 70 projects in Europe that are commercialising technology to reduce carbon emissions in basic-materials industries. Scarcely a week goes by without the unveiling of a new venture.

The libs love the science until it doesn't follow them 🤣

I have doubts,Germany can do that

No, but they can de-industrialize, which is what is happening.

Mithril

Sure, if they are willing to deindustrialize.

Only at a huge cost. We know green energy technology is inefficient & incredibly expensive & switching will hurt the poor far more than the wealthy.

Very promising. Carbon neutral makes easy with heavy industry moving out.

Why.

The United States is famous for its double standards of human rights and grossly tramples on human rights

Looking forward! Although the EU often talks nonsense~

Yes, and you would kill millions in the process bc you don’t have the proper infrastructure in place. But it can totally be done!

Ok, our famous Reverse indicators at the Economist tend to believe it's possible, so based on their atrocious track record, take the exact opposite position on this. By the time Europe does this☝️, they'd be bankrupt, so it wouldn't matter anyways.

Yes, a massive European nuclear energy program just needed.

Can the US?

Nope
