When we take credit for CO2 reduction that is not needed, we are playing the Greta game. Greta’s crowd is not going to give us any credit for saying, “We’re not so bad — our emissions are lower than theirs.”
Any kind of waste is money lost.
Capitalism works best on providing investment in energy savings and cost reductions.
Consider that we can do this while not using government to impose it is a good thing.
Companies and individuals love to save money. If enhancements in technology to reduce waste do so, while still optimizing power or heat, that’s great!
Creating energy from new sources, some yet to be developed, will inevitably be cheaper than digging or pumping energy out of the ground. And it will be cleaner by any objective standard. CO2 reduction is not a bad thing, especially if it costs less than not reducing as was the case with ours.

I disagree. THEY believe Co2 reduction is wonderful.
Doesn’t mean WE do.
But if THEY believe it, they should walk the walk. But they don’t, as usual the USA bears all the burden.
So, tariff the crap out of them until they step up.
They can stick to their (stupid) beliefs and we will finally be repaid all the monies Europe owes us.
