Think Tank Warns Net Zero Putting Pressure on Fertiliser, Nickel, and Plastic Industries

Free market think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs, is concerned higher energy prices—due to the cost of net zero—will continue to wear away Australian manufacturing industries responsible for basic goods like nickel, plastics, and fertiliser.

Deputy Executive Director Daniel Wild said blocking the development of cheaper traditional energy sources, like coal or uranium (for nuclear), was having a flow-on effect on energy reliant industries.
