Trouble Ahead: How An Unchecked ESG Lobby Drives Inflation
- Political challenges of balancing the need to support energy transition while avoiding criticism at every turn are driving both inaction and inconsistent policy.
- In turn, this creates increased corporate investment uncertainty, gives activists a louder voice, and the net effect is underinvestment and product shortages.
- A near-to-medium resolution of these issues is unlikely, suggesting higher prices for energy and materials will continue, dwarfing any emission abatement costs.
- Analysis of sector earnings reports to date shows further constraining product shortages and cost inflation remain stand-out backdrops, but demand is strong.
- Otherwise, we research lithium and EV markets, emission action versus talk, and recent rail freight data that shows how the energy transition is reversing in 2022.
