    Most interesting indeed.
    So the cost of energy is a complex topic and this guy has studied many aspects of that.

    Amongst other things he wrote :
    Morgan, Tim (2013). Life After Growth. Petersfield, UK: Harriman House. ISBN 9780857193391

    He discusses the energy cost of energy or : Energy return on investment

    He gives an estimate of $130 trillion usd for the global cost of energy transition with a link to the source … I don’t understand how this estimate is made though.
