Staff did an extraordinarily bad job of explaining this at the Council meeting a few weeks ago. Starting with the outright hostility and refusing to discuss the difference between net zero, zero onsite emissions and carbon neutral - the idea that you need to attend university level courses to even have a discussion about these concepts. The unbridled optimism that the federal government will follow through on giving the city $10M in grant money. The chippiness with Daniel Biss cutting off NU's Dave Davis during public comment. The inability of staff to give ANY ballpark figure on what this could cost the city. But my personal favorite in this mess was city staff's analogy of shooting for the moon, not being able to reach the moon, so you "land among the stars."

Shoot for the moon, fly directly into the sun
