The proposed Clean Electricity Regulations have the goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2035, but Smith has threatened to ignore the regulations unless the target date is pushed back to 2050. Her age definitely comes into play because she won’t be around to see the consequences of delaying climate action for political gain.
