  1. More #WindFarms planned by #European companies bought off in #US, to be replaced by #HydroCarbon projects.

    The press release is a Cyclosporiasis of climat destruction.

    #RWE #boycott (if possible)

    #RWE U.S. Offshore reaches settlement agreement with U.S. Department of Interior on offshore wind leases

  2. 🎁HBT Henning Hopf, who turns 85 today. He is an eminent #hydrocarbon chemist who made major contributions to #alkenes and alkines, #allenes and cumulenes, as well as cyclophanes and dendralenes, and he wrote “Classics in Hydrocarbon Synthesis”, published 25 years ago by Wiley-VCH.
    Reading and writing, translating and editing are a most important part of his scientific life—he is a true “man of letters”. Currently, he is a member of the Advisory Board of “Lives in Chemistry” l-i-c.org.

  9. Networks of climate obstruction: Discourses of denial and delay in US fossil energy, plastic, and agrichemical industries

    "An analysis of the nine top players in the U.S. fossil fuel-derived hydrocarbon industries (oil/gas, plastics, and agrichemicals) shows tight linkages across the three different sectors, with news media, other petrochemical industry players, and politicians also frequently tagged, according to a study published January 15, 2025 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate by Alaina Kinol from Northeastern University, United States, and colleagues...Our study suggests that climate obstruction in different industries is more coordinated than is generally recognized...these different companies in different sectors are using the same strategic messaging to promote a distorted image of their environmental responsibility.” >>
    eurekalert.org/news-releases/1

    "The use of fossil-derived hydrocarbons in fossil energy, plastic production, and agriculture makes these three sectors mutually reinforcing and reliant on sustained fossil fuel extraction. In this paper, we examine the ways the fossil fuel energy, plastics, and agrichemicals industries interact on social media using Twitter (renamed X as of 2023) data analysis, and we explore the implications of these interactions for policy...."

  11. Yep, the @EUCommission *could* ban #HydroCarbon - #Imports from the #USA based on the #EnvironmentalImpact from the new #Trump "#DrillBabyDrill" #policy.

    We've done it before, we can do it any time again.

    Be strong or be gone. 💁‍♀️

    It would even benefit our #GreenTransition & make us more competitive in the medium term.

    Come on, spitting in Trumps face AND pushing our #EnergyIndependence .. who would say no to that. 😁

  15. CW: Santos bought the ALP and Lib/Nats as a job-lot.

    #auspol via The Guardian.

    Adam Bandt asks:
    Labor promised to strengthen environment laws and backed the Uluru Statement, but after big gas corporations … complained about traditional owners winning court cases, Labor is waving a bill through the house that gives the resources minister the power to override federal court decisions and remove additional protections. Why is Labor working with the Liberals to approve new projects, and weaken the voices of traditional owners?

    Madeleine King (after a preamble):
    What we’re doing right now is making sure consultation provisions are indeed improved so they are clearer for everyone concerned, be they owners or the wider community that hosts these projects, or has concerns over them no matter where they are from.

    Madeline King seems to think that 'hosting' a 'project' is the only option, the only reason for consultation.

    No Madeline, we want to tell #hydrocarbon #miners to fuck off. We expect government to care about our grandchildren and also tell #Santos to fuck off.

    Remember to vote #greens kids. Or, who knows what you'll be 'hosting' next

  19. #WTS either does not exist or is not due to #infrasound ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/

    If you hear about "Wind Turbine Syndrome", you are probably listening to a #hydrocarbon fuel lobbyist.
    (I reckon "Bird-strike" is similarly bullshit, and the stink comes from the same fossil source.

  21. We have identified a new type of #sedimentary rock, a kind of #conglomerate of various organic #hydrocarbon #polymers. I forms over time and under influence of pressure at the bottom of the kids' toy box.

  22. @RRRiling @Crowpine all is good. Waiting for propane delivery. So much for #energy independence. 😁 still part of the #hydrocarbon supply chain.
