  1. XR Nijmegen has protested yesterday at the citiy council meeting against plans to grant energy firm ENGIE to construct a new gas power plant at the outskirts of the city. ENGIE says the plant will be powered with so called green hydrogen.
    While green hydrogen is a highly inefficient energy storage medium as such, the power plant can be used with fossil gas (often euphemistically called 'natural' gas) as well. Activists fear that this a greenwashing scheme of ENGIE that allows to construct yet new fossil fuelled infrastructure in the midst of the looming #climatecatastophy.

  5. Former Australian PM Tony Abbott Joins UK Climate Denial Group
    desmog.com/2023/02/06/former-a

    Ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has joined the UK’s main climate denial group saying: "We need more science," and in the next breath, "No, not like that."

    The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has consistently injected anti-science, climate change denial, shonky politics, and outright lies into climate change discussions.

  7. I'm told that #introductions are the done thing here. So I'm a #railway #engineer practicing in UK, I wrote a free book on electric railway power systems, and I advocate for transport decarbonisation in the face of #ClimateEmegency . I also own/run www.railwaysarchive.co.uk, & I'm an occasional mediocre railway #photographer . Expect the odd educational thread re: my job, observations on rail politics, shameless plugs for the book & almost constant demands that we #electrifyAllTheThings
