Planet roasters claim that policies to curb global heating make energy more expensive. Actually, these investments do the opposite.

If we had started pushing hard for renewable energy 15 years ago, we would not be having much of a price spike now.

What does increase prices is a carbon tax — but that money should be handed out to poor people. All in all, the carbon tax will reduce the cost of living for them, when you count the increased support they will receive.

The article refers to planet roasters as "conservatives", but that term is misleading.
