Wholesale nuclear power (using safe, standardized modern core designs) is the only conceivable way of getting there by 2050. Added benefit is that if necessary you can build extra nuke plants co-located with industrial scale carbon-capture systems to actually remove carbon from the atmosphere (all proven technology). That may be necessary to reverse the inertia of climate change; it may not be enough to stop putting CO2 in the air. But again we won't know for sure until we get there.
You have to understand, and I think you do, at it's core, radical environmentalism is being used as a vehicle to advance socialism. I'm not talking about reasonable pollution laws that prevent you from ruining your neighbor's land, air, or water.
There is a very subtle ideology at play among the radical environmentalists that humans are a scourge on Mother Earth and that we need less humans; it's practically a eugenics cult.
They want us all to travel nowhere, breed less, eat grass, and revert back to the stone age. Peel it back and that is the real agenda for a lot of that crowd.
