>> The only reason for Google to be backpedaling on its pledge is political. It's in a backsliding petrostate and it has to play the political game.

What evidence you have to justify your accusation?

From another poster here

  Now, in their 2025 Environmental Report at https://sustainability.google/reports/google-2025-environmen...:

  "We aim to run on 24/7 carbon-free energy on every grid where we operate by 2030." and "We aim to reduce absolute, combined scope 1, 2 (market-based), and 3 emissions by 50% from a 2019 base year by 2030." (They also restate the thing about "to neutralize our remaining emissions" a bit later in the document.)

So I would say you need to backup your claim _really_ well instead of just interpreting things in the worst way possible according to your imagination.
