A Cost-benefit Analysis of Net Zero
24 Oct 2024
Written By Andrew Montford

Andrew Montford presents a new estimate of the cost of delivering Net Zero in the UK. Previous estimates have been flawed:

failing to properly consider the effects of weather on supply and demand

using hugely overoptimistic values for the costs of renewables.

The study finds that the cost of Net Zero is likely to run to trillions, and in all cases, the costs far exceed the benefits, namely global warming averted.

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

Title and presumption:
"A Cost-benefit Analysis of Net Zero"

?????
Net zero is "all costs" and "no benefits".
That's by design.
It is not an accident.

Those who set policies based solely on emotion have no use for cost-benefit analyses.  Their emotional needs will always trump cost no matter what.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Perfectly said also for Affirmative Action/DEI/ESG and almost all government programs.

Exhibit #1 to reduce size of govt.
