I am beginning to think that high en prices are how the government are going to achieve net zero by 2050.
- so expensive the general public can’t afford it and use as little as possible / produce their own
- so expensive that manufacturers (those nasty carbon producers) can’t afford it so go out of business and stop producing carbon.
As @MarkMas said, it can't be a coincidence that every single person who confuses causation with correlation winds up dead.
I’m pretty sure that Putin isn’t a secret member of Greenpeace, so it’s probably an unintended consequence.
Not a conspiracy, for sure, but we may look back on this energy price drama as when we started taking reducing consumption seriously, a bit like the response to the oil price hikes in the 1970s.
