A divided federal appeals #court on Tuesday said the #Trump admin improperly terminated billions of dollars in funds to boost #CleanEnergy projects, handing a win to a coalition of nonprofits picked to run the #Biden-era effort.
#Climate United Fund & other nonprofits won’t have access to their funds immediately as the decision will be put on hold for several days giving the #EPA time to ask #SCOTUS to step in.

Die Frage ist: Wem würde es nutzen, wenn die Industrie kein Gas mehr bekäme und die gasgeheizten Wohnungen kalt blieben? Absicht oder Inkompetenz? Beides schlecht. #energie #heizung #fossilfuels #reiche

Wenn die Befüllung der Gasspeicher so weitergeht wie aktuell, wird es einen absoluten Tiefstand zu Beginn der Heizperiode geben:
Bei einem Prozentpunkt Einspeisung pro Woche sind es bis zu Beginn der Heizperiode Mitte Oktober in zehn bis elf Wochen noch rund zehn Prozentpunkte. Das ergibt dann rund. 55 Prozent.
Das dürfte bei einem kalten Winter sehr knapp werden. #energie #heizung #fossilfuels #reiche

Getting tired of memes like this going around every time we have bad forest fires.
We are not adequately angry at the the Epstein class, the end times fascists and their boot licking troll armies.
Time to get in touch with our anger?

Although solar power is becoming more cost-effective, limited access to finance and policies that continue to favor fossil fuels are slowing the transition to cleaner, climate-resilient energy systems across Southern Africa.

Carbon capture is a scam. The technology has captured only a tiny fraction of global emissions after decades of operation, it relies heavily on public subsidies, and is frequently used by oil companies to pump more crude oil out of the ground through Enhanced Oil Recovery.
"If there is one thing that the fossil fuel industry is good at, it’s peddling false solutions to a problem they created. Their latest miracle cure for the climate crisis, carbon capture and storage (CCS) promises to suck up carbon emissions like a vacuum and bury them deep underground. Sounds good in theory. In reality? It is a dangerous distraction, gobbling up billions in public money, enabling more pollution and keeping us hooked on fossil fuels for decades to come. "

📍 Spokane, Washington
In 2024 US politicians gave $725 billion of taxpayer money to the fossil fuel industry. This is the direct result.
People are not nearly angry enough.

”[Droughts worsened by climate change] exposed the vulnerability of Zambia and Zimbabwe’s hydropower-dependent electricity systems, triggering severe power shortages and renewing interest in coal.”
But:
“Thousands of households and businesses have installed rooftop solar systems to reduce dependence on the unreliable national grid.”

@urlyman if we want to survive, we have pretty quickly (within at most 5 years) switch to
1. Stop burning #FossilFuels altogether;
2. Build *some* new clean generating capacity;
3. Build *some* new clean materials processing capacity;
4. Invest in #Organic low input agriculture;
5. Invest in efficient transport infrastructure to distribute food;
6. Use an absolute minimum of power or structural materials for anything else at all;
7. Fight no wars at all.#ClimateEmergency

@urlyman alternatively, if we concentrate on electric smelters and kilns, we won't have enough clean energy to power them.
Of course, we could continue to burn #FossilFuels to do either the power generation or the materials processing, but in that case we all die fairly quickly — probably this century.
Or else we could use our available power and structural materials to build #GenAI #DataCentres, in which case we all die even more quickly.
