So, according to Sussan, wind and solar don't need subsidies because they're cheap and people want them, so the money should be used to subsidise nuclear and coal instead, because they're not.
That's NOT being agnostic about energy...

Now they're admitting that they don't have the ability to do so at all.

It's true, Net Zero might not be achievable by 2050.
But that's not a reason to drop that as a target.
A target is meant to make you try harder. You won't hit it every time, but a lower one means you won't try.
