Notayesmanseconomics argues the net zero push is colliding with employment costs and growth pressure, not just energy transition goals.
The core claim is simple. Higher costs are forcing a rethink of how fast and how far the transition can go, especially as job pressure builds in the wider economy.
UK youth unemployment has passed 1 million, with reports flagging a £125bn annual hit from inactivity and lost output.
At the same time, parts of the net zero debate are being pushed back on as too costly or economically distorting depending on how assumptions are framed.
Even official modeling is split. Some scenarios show long term productivity gains while others flag short term GDP and labor trade offs.
This is no longer a stable policy consensus. It is turning into a direct fight over cost, growth, and who absorbs the transition pressure.
