I'm Shocked That People Hawking "Net Zero" Would Lie About the Cost

OK, so I'm not that shocked. I am shocked that they haven't been continually called on their lies. Energy Bills Set to Soar as Report Finds Almost All Major Studies on Net Zero Grossly Underestimate Cost

This is a report from the place where Great Britain used to be, but it applies more generally.

The report, which presents a new model of the 2050 electricity system that corrects these errors, shows that official studies have suppressed the apparent cost of Net Zero still further by using extreme speculations about the costs and efficiencies of all the equipment required in the 2050 grid.

The assumption is that costs will be cut in half, and efficiencies of all the tech will soar. Based on what? Wishful thinking. If you use known costs and efficiencies, you get a very different picture.

The report warns that with current technology, the cost of a Net Zero grid would approach £8,000 per household per year.

£8,000 is just over $10,000 for energy every year. Per household, every year.
