  1. @anirvan
    1) Grateful to #CalMatters for their coverage of this profiteering by the #FossilFool majors

    2) A reminder that #profiteering only works with essential goods & services. That's why #Chevron et al con do so with near impunity. AND if we were powering mobility, from e-scooters to trains, with electricity from #renewables (wind, water, solar (#WWS) and advanced geothermal, we wouldn't be totally dependent on #FossilFuel. And profiteering would be harder to do.

    Guess what? We have the technology to convert. Why do we let the FossilFools stop that conversion?

    The real case for #PowerToThePeople by renewables.

  6. So Speak4 uses AI and apparently the names of real people to send comment letters. And "Speak4 was hired by the Bay Area Council – whose membership includes the Western States Petroleum Association, Chevron, and the Martinez Refinery Company."

    There's a simple solution - treat any comments purporting to support the #FossilFool positions as bogus, astroturfed fakes unless proven otherwise.

    And maybe investigate charges of identity theft against Speak4 principles?

  19. It's 2024, the #climateCrisis is all around us, biodiversity is collapsing and we still cannot get our #FossilFool "leaders" to even agree to start solving the main cause of these issues.

    The inertia of Business As Usual is perhaps our own worst enemy.
    The vested interests of extractive economy continue to be placed above the survival of our own society.

  24. ⬆️ @Npars01

    >> Dominion got $787 million out of Fox News. Wonder what they'll get this time out of Musk and #MadMarjorie ?

    #Dominion might get richer but #Musk won't get poorer, as the money will come from #Saudi and other benefactors, who in turn, get THAT money from #fossilFool consumers — Americans, who get even poorer by the day.

    Why not short-circuit the loop and increase the velocity of money to quickly suck everything out of Americans and stuff them into the #MelonHusk?

  27. The observation: "Gee, look at how #ClimateChange has resulted in incredibly damaging severe weather all across the world. It's disturbing that this is happening faster than so many of us expected."

    The #BigBusiness response: " Oh, sorry - we didn't realize we couldn't make our share price targets if we actually changed our business to reduce #GHGs and other environmental impacts. So we'll have to back off our commitments to be responsible."

    Maybe we need strict #regulations and #policies on reducing GHGs? FWIW, regulations level the playing field - they switch the competitive advantage of not taking #ClimateAction to a disadvantage (and might actually encourage creativity in the marketplace)

  36. Did you know these risks have been known for many years? What's new is that they are now showing up not as risks, but as actual #ClimateDamage. We could have avoided this; we knew the #ClimateCrisis would hurt us if we didn't reduce #GHG emissions over 30 YEARS ago. (And yet too many governments are reneging on their inadequate commitments, and the #FossilFool companies continue to lie)

    What a loser. That’s how stupid you become if you surround yourself with people who only tell you what you want to hear.
