    Yes, and :
    What are the real costs before subsidies ?
    What are the real cost of climate damage we try to mitigate - - which is the basis for subsidies ?

        Most interesting indeed.
        So the cost of energy is a complex topic and this guy has studied many aspects of that.

        Amongst other things he wrote :
        Morgan, Tim (2013). Life After Growth. Petersfield, UK: Harriman House. ISBN 9780857193391

        He discusses the energy cost of energy or : Energy return on investment

        He gives an estimate of $130 trillion usd for the global cost of energy transition with a link to the source … I don’t understand how this estimate is made though.
