98% or 100% to net zero by 2050

97% or 100% for Net Zero

Wartsilar, better known for shipping engines in their modelling says 98% net zero by 2050 is cheaper than 100% WWS by Prof Jacobson. Meanwhile 100% is possible says Prof Mark Jacobson.
RethinkiX says Stellar enegy – 500% is most cost effective for superabundant energy.
Wartsilar fails the fossil fuel argument and keeps about 12,000 TWh of generation in the mix – albeit for just 3% of the electricity generation. The world demands 100% zero emissions, not net zero.
