We are wasting $2 trillion a year chasing ‘green’ fantasies
Opinion by Bjorn Lomborg • 17h

Despite much hype, the much-vaunted green energy transition away from fossil fuels isn’t happening.

Achieving a meaningful shift with current policies turns out to be unaffordable. We need to drastically change policy direction.

Globally, we are already spending almost $2 trillion annually to try to force an energy transition. Over the past decade, solar and wind energy use has increased to their highest-ever levels.
 
But it hasn’t reduced fossil fuels — on the contrary, we have added even more fossil fuels over the same time.

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
