Net zero is sending your energy bills through the roof – and Things Can Only Get Worse – Scotsman

Calls for climate policy debate will only grow as economic reality bites ever harder, writes Paul Wilson

Some adherents will continue to insist, with straight faces, that renewables are somehow cheaper than the alternatives. And the argument will, of course, still be made that the human race faces certain oblivion unless we continue down this road.

But we must, at the very least, be free to question these claims in a public debate on the wisdom or otherwise of net zero – like the one we should have had when MPS nodded the 2050 target through Parliament with minimum scrutiny in 2019. As economic reality bites ever harder, calls for this debate will only grow louder. Without it, many will fear that things really can only get worse.https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/net-zero-is-sending-your-energy-bills-through-the-roof-and-things-can-only-get-worse-4757973?fbclid=IwY2xjawE9EtFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYrxG3sOcFlbKohRwDmt00b_ZImGSHqiFRLS9fN46KULNcgehMPdTqbQmA_aem_Hm3wdQXLpEUVvmikWp1CKQ
