Globally, The Green Energy Transition Is On The Skids As Costs Wallop Households
by Stacy Meichtry, Bertrand Benoit, and Phred Dvorak  2 hours ago 
 

…Consumers are starting to pay for the energy transition, and they aren’t happy about it. [emphasis, links added]

Governments that were among the earliest in the world to adopt climate legislation tried to take the sting out of the transition by motivating consumers with subsidies.


Now, however, the same capitals are cash-strapped and many are passing the bill to the consumer.

Subsidies are being scaled back, taxes tied to carbon emissions are being phased in, and rules requiring expensive renovations are starting to bite.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
