Many politicians are trying to make an impossible by the laws of economics and even the usual logic – Green transition. Restrictions and hidden forms of taxation are imposed, which actually only achieve a collapse in people’s living standards.
The availability of cheap and affordable energy was the basis of human progress from the 19th to the 21st centuries. What do we achieve by consciously making it more expensive with purely administrative, not market mechanisms?! We will achieve stagnation and collapse, and this collapse will only generate poverty, not emission reduction. It is necessary not to impose bans on already established and irreplaceable technologies, but to invest in their evolution. Because the poverty of vast regions of the world means only one thing – new wars and pandemics. When a war breaks out, no one counts carbon emissions anymore, and they are enormous in warfare.
