Net-zero climate policies are impossibly expensive

EU: €8,400 per family, increasing every year

Such policies are unsustainable — voters will rebel

Much smarter: spend €143 on green R&D to innovate the price of green energy below fossil fuels

Net-zero climate policies are impossibly costly

Globally, net-zero will cost 50% of all taxes paid to all governments in the whole world

— and the cost will escalate every year

This is not sustainable

Here report's own graphic on costs of net-zero

Notice, cost here is *only* investment costs ($6.5 trillion annually in green)

Forcing actors to spend more on less effective/more unreliable energy means lower GDP growth, leaving us poorer, too
