'Net-zero' is not affordable by the 6 billion living in poverty

Those "net zero" ideologists' dreams are unrealistic as they are promoting taxpayer subsidies that are "financially supporting" countries like China and countries in Africa, that lack sufficient labor laws and environmental regulations, that supply the lithium and cobalt for those EV batteries, to continue humanity atrocities against their people with yellow, brown, and black skin.

The environmental degradation in those developing countries, for the exotic minerals and metals to make EV batteries, JUST to go net zero and be green must be recognized.

• "Inside the Congo cobalt mines that exploit children" - the SKY NEWS 6-minute video - is confirmation of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book "Clean Energy Exploitations" that describes the human atrocities among folks in poverty so that the wealthy countries can go green.
• The costs associated with installing wind turbines and solar panels are heavily dependent on the materials to build those renewables which often come from those working in poverty in China and Africa with cheap labor, using materials extracted with child labor, in mines and facilities with minimal or no workplace safety or environmental safeguards, with every phase fueled by oil, natural gas or coal, further perpetuating the devastation to ecosystems and wildlife.

The effect of longer lifespans will be debated by pundits and future historians for decades to come. The world population has increased dramatically after the introduction of fossil fuels and has become dependent on those same fossil fuels to feed the world by transporting food and products worldwide to feed those 8 billion on this increasingly resource-stretched and crowded earth.

With "affordability" being the hottest political subject for upcoming elections, can the few in the wealthier countries continue to support the goals of "net-zero" goals upon the other 6 billion on this planet now living in poverty?

Isn't it time to fund family planning and education to limit population growth to address the root cause of poverty? Renewables and fossil fuels are both necessary but must be developed in a sustainable way.
