As with most things, your imagination outstrips reality by a fair bit
This entire post is void of facts, there is no current rule or even serious proposal to be 100 percent carbon free by any date. Zero carbon means zero carbon, not zero fuel. 'They' have no power to do any such thing at present. \
Your fears are just that, fears, not rational thinking
Net zero carbon by 2050... By any means necessary. This is the narrative the western world is operating under, correct?
Every proposal I've read, every conference I've watched; the end goal is to eliminate all
private use of fossil fuels by 2050 regardless of consequence. Saving the planet is so critical that every finance bill Congress approves has climate as a main priority. The very first day in office, the new admin signed an EO titled: TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE, CREATING GOOD UNION JOBS, AND ADVANCING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE.
Fuel is only a small part of the brave new utopia being forced upon us. To deny that "bold change" is taking place world wide at an unprecedented rate would show a willful and stubborn lack of information. They tell us what they are doing, the prudent pay attention.
Here, all the information you could need to understand the narrative.
Strategies for building a net-zero economy in just three decades.

You are no longer a free man. You must submit and sacrifice in any way deemed necessary by the authority of science for the betterment of the planet.
Just think for a moment "If we don't do 'X' immediately, the world will end"... Do you honestly think that people making decisions based on that premise wouldn't be willing to; take your property, prohibit your business, ruin the natural economy or risk your community's access to food in order to meet their goals?
It is totalitarianism in the name of saving the world. The plan would never work without complete and total cooperation.
