Has Putin and the fossil fuels lobbyists won their war against our only one planet?... Have you not learnt the fiduciary duty yet? Unless and until the market - not any or all governments by meddling - find a green energy that costs less than fossil, fossil rules the roost. |

This looks set to completely sink Florida and Texas, and the rest of the world along with them: Climate change: Six tipping points ‘likely’ to be crossed wrote: Current rates of warming will put the Earth at risk of crossing six "dangerous" climate tipping points...

Louisiana is the most vulnerable state, and North Carolina is in more danger than Texas. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/climate-change-rising-sea-levels-will-erode-local-tax-bases-zombie-towns/ |

... And that is the whole craziness about all this:Nope. No way. Profit margin rules the roost. If it was really cheaper it would be in use and someone would have a monopoly on it and be getting well beyond filthy rich. I'm sure I can clue in to the missing factor in the cost comparison. The land. A few dozen MW fossil plant isn't very big. A few dozen MW solar or wind plant covers a rather large area. Then you need to factor in some kind of "battery" to store energy when the plant can't generate any. You can't scale lab experiments up to megalopolis size plants on paper and then claim they are cheaper. |

With energy costs as there are, it seems that stupidity continues. What next? With many reducing comsumption to save money, the profiteers want you to use more. |

Yet more ongoing greedy deadly pollution: Revealed: Huge gas flaring emissions never reported wrote: Major oil companies are not declaring a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, a BBC News investigation has revealed. And to think that our governments actively subsidizes such shoddy operating and gratuitous unnecessary pollution... Yet more pollution long overdue for a cleanup.

How has this deadly old news lain quiet for so long? BP in oil field where 'cancer is {as common as} the flu' wrote: ... The UN told the BBC it considers these areas, in Iraq, to be "modern sacrifice zones" - where profit has been prioritised over human rights. All a continued game of deadly profits?

Yeah, let's all go green & save the planet. The company had proposed to build a new 3.6 GW gas-fired power plant at Selby which was expected to produce 75% of the UK's power sector emissions once the plant was underway.]A protest took place outside the company's offices in London in July 2019 and further protests took place in Yorkshire in August 2020. Protesters claimed that the company was asking for substantial subsidies to operate the new plant "in addition to the £2.36 million a day it already receives for burning biomass." After ministers overruled objections from the planning authority and decided to approve the plant, a legal challenge was brought against the ministerial decision but failed in the courts in January 2021. However, the company announced in February 2021 that the plans for the new plant had been abandoned.The Green Energy Scandal Exposed, Panorama 20:00 BBC1 tonight. Drax |

Drax never really "looked right" in my mind. I had a few questions, not the least of which were where the fuel (timber, chipped/crushed) was coming from and the transport to Drax. It turns out the answers to these questions were not as green as one would hope. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
