Whenever I read these silly statements with percentages in them that first thing that pops to my mind is that there are two ways to get to the 80% level--add more clean energy or reduce the total. If we have 80% of our electricity from clean energy in 2035, it may mean that practically the only electricity left in 2035 is hydroelectric from way back when. The statement may be true, but the implication we get from understanding the hype now may be way off.

What is the upside to releasing more and more CO2 into the atmosphere??? Will it have any environmental effect at all?
