Not a big surprise. Transition to CO2 emission-free economy will be very, very costly. This is just the beginning. People don't realize this yet, one day they will connect the dots and will be angry - they were promised a better World, instead they will be poor, in addition overall World emission will not drop, since many countries (China, Russia, other Asian countries, Africa will join the club too soon) does not give the slightest crap about CO2 stuff (just check carbon tracker website and check plans for new coal power plants that will built in Asia soon). People need to understand that we can go the route Greta Thunberg, "Fit for 55" advocates want, which basically means moving western civilization back to XVII century, but then the spending's structure will be also the same as in XVII century. 90% of income will go to food, no more fancy vacations, no more iPhones, 0.1% of the population will be wealthy, the rest will leave at the edge of poverty. That's why any CO2 emission lowering initiative that does not take into account economical reality and puts large part of the population into poverty is very dangerous. It can lead to serious social unrest, the rise of populist parties, which will revert all the pro-eco regulation, leading to even more CO2 emission at the end. This is not the first time Eco-activists let us down. Their (largely successful) war on nuclear energy plants moved us to the point where we are now in terms of CO2 emission. For the past 50 years there was hardly any significant research done on nuclear energy and those who worked in the academia on the subject were treated almost like holocaust deniers. No surprise nuclear energy plants are still very expensive and we don't have good use for nuclear wastes (which are not really wastes, they emit energy that could be reused with the right tech).
