🎙️ Who really pays for the energy transition—and is it fair?

In this deep dive episode of Tangelic Talks, hosts Victoria Cornelio and Andres Tamez unpack one of the most controversial questions in climate conversations today:

👉 Who is actually bearing the cost of the transition to a low-carbon future?

From taxpayers and households to governments, corporations, and vulnerable communities—this episode explores the hidden financial, social, and political costs behind the global push toward net zero.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

⚡ Why taxpayers often carry the biggest burden of climate transition

🌍 The reality of “just transition” vs. who actually benefits

💸 Trillions in climate finance—where is the money really going?

🏭 The role of big tech, AI, and energy demand in shaping the future

🌱 Why developing nations face the highest risks with the least support

⚖️ Policy failures, overregulation, and global inequality in climate action

🔋 Renewable energy vs. fossil fuels—are we moving fast enough?

🌐 Key Question We’re Exploring: Is the energy transition truly “just”… or are we shifting the burden onto those least responsible?

📊 Why This Conversation Matters:With global investments reaching trillions annually, the transition to clean energy is not just a technical challenge—it’s a human, economic, and political dilemma.

This episode challenges mainstream narratives and asks: Are we solving the problem—or just redistributing the cost?
