Enormous direct costs to regular people, massive climate damage from the heatwaves attributable to fossil fuels, the poor public health and air quality from diesel cars and overtourism by tourism growth on tax-free kerosene.

How about we reduce emissions and our import dependency of oil and gas?
Startling figure from VDL speech today:

"Since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, imported fossil fuels cost Europe an additional €127bn without a single molecule of energy in addition."

That works out about €281 per EU resident, 67% of the EU's entire annual budget
