Yes, hundreds of millions looks like a high cost, but “maybe” it “could” also be bad for human lives and the Planet… but I know, I know, who am I to compare…?

Surprise_pikachu.
Many here will argue it is not affordable. Yet we have many expensive policies that make it worse. This way, we pay twice.
Popular demands have lead to an increase in fossil subsidies following the inflationary spike due to Ukraine invasion. It cost billions.
We still tax electricity more heavily than gas. We also hide funding of local communes and costs of the transition in the electricity cost.
Meanwhile these costs are not levied on fossils, and then we’re surprised electrification is slow and heat pumps uncompetitive compared to gas even when they are more efficient from a technology perspective.
Bad policy driven in part by uninformed, popular demands makes our problems worse. And this is entirely independent from the already high costs that will come and be required to avoid -or worse deal with- the ever increasing consequences.
