#fossilfuel — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/sep/16/fossil-fuel-advertising-contracts-all-time-high. WHY is this being permitted? Would we allow drug-pushers to #advertise their wares freely? Yet #fossilfuels are just as #lethal, to #humans, to non-human #animals, to #nature, & to the #planet. #Protesters against the #Fossilfuel #companies get locked up, but their #directors make millions, as do their #shareholders, the companies are heavily #subsidised, & make enormous #profits.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/17/trump-fossil-fuels-industry. "Some of the #motivations for the #Trump administration’s pro-carbon, anti-green #policy postures have to do with cold, hard #cash. #Fossilfuel #companies have given a staggering amount to Trump over the past several years... But part of the Trump’s love of #fossilfuels - & his accompanying hostility to #Climatechange #mitigation, #green #initiatives, & #nature #conservation - might be less #transactional than #libidinal."

#US #DataCenters Set to Burn More #NaturalGas Than Most Nations
Only China, Russia, Iran, and the U.S. itself are expected to use up more of this #fossilfuel.
US #AI data centers projected to become 5th-largest natural gas consumer in world by 2035 — consumption to grow by 15B cu ft/day
Many #datacenter projects have already been delayed by the lack of available power infrastructure. It’s for this reason that many developments have turned towards onsite generators

Australian Gas Infrastructure Group's green hydrogen gas blend reaches Gladstone customers
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-03/renewable-gas-blend-flows-to-gladstone-customers/105482274

This article contains an astonishing amount of bullshit from the fossil fuel lobby.

Cathryn McArthur is the main offender, with breathtaking lies such as:

- Ms McArthur said customers had been using the product at no additional cost. The total cost of the project was $6.48 million, which included a $2.73 million contribution from the Queensland government.
This means taxpayers have already footed the bill for part of it, and customers will be charged by the gas company for the rest of the cost.

- "This [Gladstone] project is a real-world demonstration of the potential of renewable gas. It's here, it's real, it's viable and it works."
It's not viable without government hand-outs. And she should know the laws of physics would disagree with pumping hydrogen through through existing pipes into homes.

- "It is a 10 per cent blend but you've got to start somewhere, and hopefully one day we will see that at 100 per cent."
No. Just no. The gas company might be trying to put 10% hydrogen into the pipe at the factory, but due to leakages, not all that hydrogen makes it to the other end of the pipe. And there is no way in hell people will be cooking with 100% hydrogen in domestic kitchens. Again, that's not how physics works.

- Ms McArthur said the company had planned and costed for minor modifications to its existing network which would allow them to distribute 100 per cent green hydrogen.
Cathryn McArthur is wrong again. For this to work, the gas company will need to replace their entire distribution infrastructure -- every pipe, pipe-fitting, valve, sensor, and gas-meter. Then you replace your home appliances for cooking, heating, and hot water.

It's greenwashing by the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) to prolong the use of fossil gas in Australia. They're not serious about tackling climate change. They're using Green Hydrogen and "carbon neutral" as a smokescreen to keep pushing their pollution until 2050.

This announcement at the Hydrogen Park Gladstone facility was timed to deflect attention from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) saying gas companies are making false claims and greenwashing.
