I live in the Netherlands (national debt 42% of GDP; sometime ago I remember reading that the balance of trade surplus was 13%; not the basket case Americans routine assume).

Last week we learned that improvements to the grid (for the energy "transition") would amount to B$200 (Euros) over 15 years, $772 (Euros) per person per year for 15 years.

Of course, that's only an initial sum. They're not counting all the heat pumps, building & housing refurbishments, windmills, the Russian pipeline gas substitution, the solar panels, etc. Obviously if hydrocarbons disappear and all industry and all transit runs on electricity, the grid improvements are just the beginning, since it will require at least 300% of the current capacity. You cannot reason with people who can't add.

The only relevant question is: How much of the population are you willing to sacrifice?
