La economía política de la transición energética

Según Tyler Cowen, la clave de la transición no es el coste, o las emisiones, sino qué opción tiene menos oposición, o más apoyo político. Y, desgraciadamente, tiene toda la razón.

Energy policy is often judged by three criteria: cost, reliability and effect on carbon emissions. That makes good sense, but I would like to suggest an alternative approach: Ask which green energy policies can get the support of most special-interest groups, and the fewest forces in opposition, and rank them accordingly. That might sound cynical, but given how long and deep the policy failures have run, some cynicism is in order.
