Governments are pushing harder than ever to enforce Net Zero, but what does that really mean for households, businesses, and the global economy? From court rulings on oil and gas projects to soaring energy bills and the heavy reliance on subsidies, we break down the contradictions and real-world impact of these policies.

We had a lot of fun covering key points around Net Zero and hypocrisy.

We also played a Lee Zeldin video that really articulated New York’s problems with Net Zero. The financial ruin of countries and states is now a pattern.

There are numerous moving parts in the world of Net Zero, and we examine the current issues facing the business world concerning Net Zero and the complex regulations.
