To the diligent taxpayers whose hard-earned money often underwrites the inflated promises of the renewable energy industry, and to those who seek a clear-eyed, economically sound approach to environmental stewardship, without the deceptive allure of politically motivated greenwashing. This book is dedicated to the pursuit of truth in energy policy, fostering a future where sustainability is genuinely achievable, not merely a fashionable ideal propped up by unsustainable subsidies and obfuscated cost calculations. It is dedicated to the careful consideration of environmental concerns, but also to an equally careful and critical economic assessment of the solutions proposed. For too long, the debate has been framed in emotionally charged rhetoric that lacks the necessary rigor and transparency. This work seeks to redress this imbalance, providing a foundation for a more reasoned and productive dialogue about our energy future. The path to a truly sustainable energy future requires a balanced approach, informed by sound economics and a deep understanding of the complexities of the energy transition. This dedication serves as a reminder that honest accounting and transparency are the cornerstones of this endeavor. We need to move beyond simplistic narratives and simplistic solutions to grapple with the multifaceted realities of energy production and consumption.
