@greenpeace A brief tour and inquiry into West Virginia coal country, tells a tail of years of coal market loss. This is old news.
What's also old news, but falsely presented as its opposite, is gas/fracking has multiplied in its place, and petrochemicals are more globally distributed than past history. More local utilities are implementing penalties for rooftop solar than the initial introduction of the tech - fully within the #greenwashing plan they expertly employ.
The US is #FossiFuels.

Julie Levin, noted that:
"The proposed carbon capture project has also shrunk to a fraction of its original size... under the previous framework, the per-barrel cost of the carbon tax comes out to the price of a Timbit" (about 50 cents)
"The oil companies don’t have to do anything at all for 15 years."

@JulianOliver true. Many non profits/NGO's who e.g. fight #climatechange run their #IT stuff on infrastructure owned by #bigtech or "even better" by companies like #KKR (they own #GoDaddy and therefore also #HostEurope) who is one of the world's biggest investors in #fossifuels. And those organisations don't even have a clue about that.

As a consoling thought, when you look outside of the so-called "Western World", it becomes clear that #FossiFuels have already lost.
The surge in #fascism around here is in part a last-ditch effort to prop up a failing business model. This might "work" for a while, but it can only delay the end of the Fossil Fuel Age, not stop it.
Which doesn't make fighting fascism unimportant, of course. Any harm we can stop, we should. But they _will_ lose this, in the end.

"Modern high-volume hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to enable the extraction of natural gas or oil from shale and other forms of “tight” rock (in other words, impermeable rock formations that lock in oil and gas and make fossil fuel production difficult). Large quantities of water, chemicals, and sand are blasted into these formations at pressures high enough to crack the rock": https://www.oklahomaminerals.com/fracking-101

Care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia
"In fighting these fires, authorities focused almost entirely on protecting human lives and property...The role of rescuing and caring for domesticated and wild animals fell almost entirely to community groups and individual carers, who stepped up to fill the gap at significant cost to themselves – financially, emotionally and sometimes even at a risk to their safety.The standard view in Australia is that only humans matter in the face of bushfires. While some guidance on disaster preparation talks about how to protect pets such as cats and dogs, wildlife carers, farmers and horse owners often found themselves facing incoming fires with little or no information or support."

#ClimateDiary Really want to amplify this as much as possible. @RichardJMurphy excellent on how the fact that most of our pensions are invested in #FossiFuels, processed food etc is not only bad for our planet and health, it also means that they are likely not going to be worth anything, because future generations will not want these things. Governments need to regulate to encourage sustainable pension Investments.
Pensions so core to everything

@6G @stevesilberman T successfully did this in 2018 under the radar. This time he will destroy many agencies and discontinue critical services by separating expert civil servants from jobs whose work product we often ignore and/or take for granted. #education #environment #economy #civilliberties #justice #democracy #transportation #healthcare #snap #childcare #defense #criminaljustice #fda #agriculture #energy #pollution #climatecrisis #fossifuels #socialsecurity #medicare #commerce
