    This, like a recent article about electricity production from dedicated biomass, seems to be railing very strongly, and in weirdly detailed depth, against a future which no-one is actually planning for.

    Should I be suspicious when an article argues that "thing no one is planning on doing" is worse than fossil fuels, that they're really supporting the fossil fuel industry?

    They seem unaware that Green Hydrogen is poised to replace fossil inputs in fertilizer and other petrochemical usages.
