One of the charges against net zero is the ‘inconvenient truth’ that it’s expensive
Yet it is widely acknowledged that his proposed solution – CCS and nuclear – are more expensive than the renewables being deployed. Far from failing, they are growing. Fast

With shipping responsible for 1bn tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, the stakes are high.
