Britain is the poster child for Net Zero, with its energy policies based on the notions that renewable energy is cheap and the cost of Net Zero is trivial. RealClear Foundation Senior Fellow Rupert Darwall’s new report, “The Folly of Climate Leadership – Net Zero and Britain’s Disastrous Energy Policies,” argues both premises are false. He contends that Britons are paying sky-high prices for electricity and that Britain’s economy, in terms of growth and productivity, is delivering its worst performance since 1780. The Biden administration wants to achieve Net Zero in America too, with a complete decarbonization of power generation by 2035. What will be the economic consequences if America continues to follow Britain’s Net Zero path?
