When I see a story that says 'We need XXXXXX by YYYY' I ask 'ok, why?'
The article says it "outlines why we need a fossil-free internet by 2030 and how to get there" but I don't see that at all.
No, I don't need replies explaining why we need it. My statement is that the article whose job it is to explain it doesn't. Why 2030? Why not 2029? Heck, if we don't have it by 2025 then XXX bad things will happen. Why not 2038?
Its the equivalent of 1990s cable tv news shows at this point.
