The hidden corporate benefits of net zero

Laying my cards on the table, I’m an American liberal and an Australian republican.*  This means I vote center-left and support the replacement of the King of Australia (aka Charles III) with a fair dinkum Aussie.  I’ve jokingly suggested that Australia should switch to the Danish royal family – the Queen of Denmark is a Tasmanian, after all, meaning that future Danish monarchs may, through their genetic legacy, understand the nuances involved in performing a shoey.  

Despite being a noncitizen, as one of His Majesty’s subjects I got to vote in the UK election on US Independence Day.  As Bart Simpson once said “the ironing is delicious.”

Anyway, this is all a roundabout way of explaining that the AI on my phone doesn’t know me very well.  Last night, an editorial from The Telegraph landed in my newsfeed.  This British newspaper is the traditional voice of monarchists and Tories and thus represents the exact antipode of my politics.  However, with the title “The costs of net zero” I decided to give it a click to see what the landed gentry was saying about the drive for economic sustainability in the context of the new Labour government.
