A new report released by the RealClear Foundation and titled The Folly of Climate Leadership analyzes Britain’s climate and energy policies and concludes that increasingly stringent policies that were adopted based on false claims of falling renewable electricity costs drove up the country’s energy costs.
Andy Puzder, senior fellow at the Pepperdine University School of Public Policy and the America First Policy Institute, explains in the study’s forward that the analysis serves as a warning to America.
The report, which was written by Rupert Darwall, senior fellow with RealClear Foundation, “shows what would happen if Democrats and Progressives get their way and inflict net zero climate policies on the country,” Pudzer wrote.
According to the study, British businesses were paying more than double in 2022 what U.S. businesses pay for electricity. " British politicians’ boasts of climate leadership by cutting greenhouse gas emissions faster than any other major economy ignore the unfortunate fact that the British economy has been stagnating since 2008. This luxury net zero policy, which only the rich can afford, has been devastating for ordinary Britons just trying to heat their homes and get to work," Pudzer said.

The left has two main operating principles:
1. Our only standard is a double one.
2. Everything we touch turns to s***.
But wait, they’re going to make math easier for us all, they will soon be declaring pi to be equal to 3.0, require that all operating systems insert quotes in the appropriate places for all quota graduate work, and “Entrance in the rear” signs for the loathsome congress critter house and senate buildings.
Leftism truly is a mental disorder of the worst kind!
It’s not a “Warning to America”.
It is a “how-to” manual for the DC Globohomo Regime.
In other words, it’s working as planned.
