Saudi Arabia is scheming with Russia to reduce oil production to drive up gas prices before the 2024 election.

They both want Traitor Trump back in office to do their bidding. Putin has undue influence over Trump for reasons yet unknown. Saudi Arabia spends very large sums on Trump properties and businesses and has "invested" billions with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Even more reasons for the one man crime spree to never get anywhere near the Office of the President of the United States of America ever again!

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Let Biden’s LNG pause stand!

108 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

I’m writing as a constituent and someone who’s deeply worried about the climate crisis to say that Congressional investigations into President Biden's pause on new Liquefied Natural Gas export permits are unnecessary and ill-informed. The facts are clear that this is a temporary pause on new LNG permits - it will not affect existing exports or new LNG export terminals that are already working or under construction. Second, only Department of Energy permits, and only those applying to LNG exports, will be covered by the pause. Our allies in Europe and beyond will not face shortages or disruptions in their fuel supplies as a result. Climate scientists and energy economists are clear: LNG is already bad for the climate, and is already diving up prices for US consumers, at a time when our allies in Europe are already reducing demand for fossil fuels. The LNG pause is a smart decision by President Biden, and Congress should focus its effort on making it permanent, and accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy at home and abroad. Thanks.

𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬⭐(Friday's Tale)

In the year 2023, the world stood on the precipice of its own demise. Climate change, an impending catastrophe, loomed large over us all. It wasn't the climate that posed the greatest threat, though. No, it was the insatiable greed of those entrenched in power, the barons of oil and fossil fuels who clung to their dominance like a vice.

These individuals weren't just lining their pockets; they were perpetuating a chain that stretched from the oil fields to the consumers. But as oil neared its end, a dangerous truth emerged. It wasn't just depleting; it was poisoning our planet. Yet, despite having viable alternatives for clean energy since the 1950s—water-oxygen, solar power, vegetation-derived solutions—the powers-that-be dismissed them all. Why? Because none promised the same relentless profits that oil did.

Then, amidst this chaos, Dr. Dallas Taylor unveiled an unthinkable solution: the "fart system." Yes, the unlikeliest of sources—farts—packed with methane, a potential goldmine. All it required were people, their bodily functions, and an insatiable appetite. The elite constructed the Gasomatic, a dystopian workplace where individuals indulged in gluttony, played mindless games, and expelled their gas into isolated chambers for profit. It became a grotesque reality, a twisted manipulation of human nature for the sake of wealth.

As society spiraled into this madness, the generations of tomorrow, enamored by escapism, chose to surrender their autonomy. They forsook conventional work, opting instead to gorge themselves on foods designed for maximum gas production. It was a trade-off—they exchanged their dignity for an income earned by the simple act of farting.

By 2027, traditional employment vanished, replaced by cold, metallic hands—robots and AI. But this substitution came at a steep price. To sustain these machines, we needed more energy, more gas. And so, we filled our Gasomatic factories with even more individuals, unknowingly marching toward our own enslavement.

In the year 2030, the revelation struck like lightning: humanity had become subservient to its own creation. The insatiable desire for wealth and gas had shackled us to machines, akin to the dystopian nightmares depicted in movies like "The Matrix." But this wasn't a cable in our heads; it was a tube in our very core, reducing us to mere conduits for profit.

Amidst this bleak landscape, I, Dr. Jasper J. McGassey, stand as the last bastion of freedom. I defy this fate, refusing to succumb to the twisted desires of a world consumed by greed. In the midst of machines and gas-powered tyranny, I stand firm—refusing to be just another cog in this mechanized enslavement.

I DON'T FART!

Stages Of Grief At The Brink Of The Apocalypse

All the content warnings for climate change, nihilism, and existential dread. All of them. This is a unique time for humanity. It is not the apocalyptic sentiment. There are literally dozens of predicted apocalypses in the various Christian traditions alone, and there's recorded warnings of the ending of the world going back to 2800 BCE. What is unique is that for the first time in human history, there's a damn good chance that they're correct. The effects of climate change are larger and worse than expected, happening faster than expected, and in ways that we didn't expect. After several years in Maslow's basement, the entirety of our species finds itself finally unable to ignore the real state of the world. Unable to ignore the onrushing realization of our own mortality. The change in climate -- and weather -- has become large enough that it is inescapably obvious. Suicide rates keep climbing among youth, and it's not difficult to imagine why. Their future has already been destroyed to feed other's greed. Equally obvious are those who have deliberately and intentionally traded human lives and health -- your life and health, your children's life and health -- just so they could get a few more millions, even though they've known the effects of climate change and pollution for decades. They are not nameless, faceless business executives or politicians.

We know who they are. We know, for example, that Shell's Wael Sawan, who, according to Bloomberg {1} "quietly ended the world’s biggest corporate plan to develop carbon offsets, the environmental projects designed to counteract the warming effects of CO2 emissions" in June 2023, just before it was ranked the hottest month on record... before being dethroned only a month later by July's temperatures. Or we could look at Manchin's long history of fighting anything resembling dealing with the climate crisis. There are plenty of examples, stretching back years. These are not nameless and faceless people who chose to enrich themselves at the cost of human lives. They are actual people, who have made actual decisions. Decisions that will bring harm to you, your children. To literally everyone you care about. Finding their names and faces is trivial. It's easy to find the lists of those on the board of directors and executive committees for, say, Shell (1, 2), Exxon (1, 2), BP (1, 2), and Chevron (1, 2). It's easy to find the politicians that have been corrupted and subverted. For example, you can see the top 20 Congressional recipients of oil & gas money during the 2022 election cycle in one nice list. There are charts of lobbying spending of oil & gas companies in the United States during election cycles from 1990 to 2022, by receiving political party. Feature articles lay out which House members, for example, got the most cash from the fossil fuel industry. And we know that fossil fuel companies -- and their individual executives -- were aware of climate change, its effects, and their role in it decades ago. We know that they've actively worked to subvert, delay, and derail work to slow or stop climate change. We know who they have bought off in both state and national capitols. We know their names. We know their faces. We know exactly who has -- and who continues to -- murder thousands of people simply to fatten their wallets. We know exactly who is responsible for every death caused by climate change. They're proud of it. Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life. {2} We are the final children of history, raised to believe that we will have a future. But we won't. And we're just learning that fact. Anger is a stage of grief. {1} Full text at https://pastebin.com/raw/sKdGDaY0 {2} From Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Yes, I'm aware of the problematic elements of the work. You're missing the point.

Spotlight On Channel 7 Nickel EV Lies

Corporate media in Australia, once again, does the bidding of the fossil fuel sector in spreading misinformation and distortions about electric vehicles (EV). Spotlight on Channel 7 nickel EV lies reveals hit job on battery production in China. Mainstream media televises program chock full of errors and false claims. There is so much BS out there in Australia about EVs and mud sticks in the minds of many. Standards of accuracy and truth in the media are degrading in the current era, with conservatives thinking that they can get away with anything in the age of Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwfTZrzAx2c

Tell Me Lies, Sweet Little EV Lies On 7’s Spotlight

Vested interests in the ownership of Seven West Media put it firmly in the camp of promoting fossil fuel propaganda. Miners and companies in their sphere of influence are dedicated to delaying renewables and prolonging dependence upon fossil fuels in Australia. Disengaged voters and dummies alike believe negative stories about things like EVs when they are presented by programs like Spotlight that purport to be investigative journalism writ large. If the facts are wrong and misrepresented, then, we the public have a problem on our hands. Channel 7’s Spotlight & Their EV Distortions The facts are that 70% of all dirty nickel is used in the manufacture of stainless steel with only around 5% used in EV batteries. This was not inferred or made clear in the Spotlight program that aired on Channel 7. This appeared to be a hit job on the renewable energy sector during a federal election with the desired outcome to damage voter trust in EVs. It told a story that EVs are not good for the environment, quite the reverse, and this is not true based on their presented information. Distorted facts were promulgated by Spotlight on Channel 7 nickel EV lies. Powerful and wealthy men think that they can ride roughshod over things like media factuality standards. Kerry Stokes may be taking a leaf out of Elon Musk’s MO in this regard.

Established Misconceptions About Renewables The number of people in Australia, mainly men, who have misinformed ideas about EVs and the renewable energy transition taking place is testament to the work being done by allies of the fossil fuel industry. Our 2 main political parties accept large donations from the fossil fuel sector. The mainstream media feels beholden to them for their advertising revenue in these straitened times. Wealth and power has been in their camp for many decades and this breeds complacency among the rest of us. They will not go quietly into the night of their own volition. Much Ado About EV Battery Claims “Liam Bartlett, chief correspondent of 7News Spotlight, was filming a press conference with Australian climate change and energy minister Chris Bowen at the Sydney International EV AutoShow in November for an expose on Chinese-backed Indonesian nickel mining for EV batteries. In the footage aired on Sunday night, Bartlett was going back and forth with the minister when YouTuber Sam Evans stepped in to wrap the reporter up, prompting Mr Bowen to end the media opportunity.” - (https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/current-affairs/ev-influencer-speaks-out-after-squaring-off-with-channel-7-reporter/news-story/09cbcc8f488ad4169685c6206c15da89)

Spotlight Not Letting The Facts Get In The Way Of A Hit Job “Last night, Channel 7 aired the latest episode of their Spotlight program. The focus was on Indonesian mining practices that reportedly result in emission between 9 and 11x higher than Australian operations.  Electric vehicle mining equipment While it’s clear that workplace health and safety practices in Indonesia are clearly lacking compared to our standards here, the main focus and headline of the story targeted  electric vehicles. The show title was ‘The  EV con: Spotlight investigation into the deadly side of electric vehicles sold in Australia’. During the episode, the presenter spent much of the time attempting to make EV owners feel guilty for their vehicle purchase, suggesting they are fueling issues in the supply chain. The problem with this conclusion, is that it’s not found in evidence.” - (https://techau.com.au/channel-7s-spotlight-on-evs-fails-to-identify-any-ev-maker-that-actually-uses-dirty-nickel-from-indonesia/) The Channel 7 Ethos Of Australia Channel 7 and Kerry Stokes represent a side of Australia, which overvalues what I call the Anglo-settler consciousness. That Australia, as a postcolonial nation, should be run by white men, mining interests, and that they represent the real deal here. He supports the celebration of our fighting spirit in the guise of Ben Roberts Smith, despite his propensity for killing unarmed Afghanis. Spotlight supported tough, real Australian men, like the rapist Bruce Lehrmann sewing his wild oats upon a comatose Brittany Higgins in the Liberal senator’s office at Parliament House. Come on Australia! Come on Aussie! Women and renewable energy do not have a place at the big table, according to this mentality. These things oughtn’t power Australia, rather they should be sidelined for the longest time. The macho chest beating fuelling this attitude revels in what Trump is doing to America. They see it as a return to the natural order. If telling a few well timed lies can assist, well, why not spread the disinformation. “Australia is full of progressive laws that just don’t get enforced. I call us the land of toothless tigers and unlike the Tasmanian tiger these are not rare or extinct. Indeed, they are prolific. Black market tobacco grey in Australia because it is so readily available. Tobacconists stock black market tobacco openly in defiance of the laws of the land. Why is this so? Is it a bit like the long held laisse faire attitude of male police officers toward domestic violence in this country? Smokers don’t like paying so much for their ciggies and most cops in Australia are blokes. They just don’t see the problem.” - (https://wordsforweb.com.au/black-market-tobacco-grey-in-australia/) Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of America Matters: Pre-apocalyptic Posts & Essays in the Shadow of Trump. ©WordsForWeb

An open letter to the U.S. Senate

We’re in a climate crisis. Please pass S. 1863 the PROVE IT Act now!

864 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

I’m writing as a constituent—and as someone who is deeply worried about the climate crisis—to ask the Senator to support S. 1863, the Providing Reliable, Objective, Verifiable Emissions Intensity and Transparency (PROVE IT) Act. Now, more than ever, it is important to protect our environment from harm and reduce our dependence upon fossil fuels, while holding other countries responsible for doing the same. The United States has a moral obligation to be a leader in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Without action, we risk the health of our citizens and wildlife, the well-being of our coastal areas, and the productivity of our farms, forests, and fisheries. The PROVE IT Act would direct the Department of Energy to study the emissions intensity of certain products produced in the United States, as well as trade partners and countries of concern. Through the collection of this high-quality data, the PROVE IT Act would compare the total emissions required to produce goods domestically vs. in other countries.  This is such an important bill. Please, please work to pass it. Thanks.

Fossil Fuel Companies Lag in Clean Energy Hiring

Source: brookings.edu

Category: News

  

Clean Energy Job Postings Reflect a Wide Gap

Fossil fuel companies, despite their public promises to embrace green energy, are lagging far behind in hiring for clean energy positions. A recent analysis by Fast Company of Google Jobs listings between June and August 2024 revealed that traditional energy companies in oil, gas, and coal accounted for just 4% of job postings in the clean energy sector. In contrast, younger firms focusing on renewable energy development and clean technology dominated the job market, comprising 36% and 35% of postings, respectively.

This disparity exposes a gap between the rhetoric and actions of legacy fossil fuel firms. While these companies emphasize their commitment to sustainability in public relations campaigns, their hiring practices tell a different story. For example, a 2022 report by the think tank InfluenceMap highlighted that 60% of PR materials from the five largest oil supermajors touted green initiatives. Yet, only 12% of their capital expenditures were directed toward renewable energy expansion or climate risk mitigation.

Lawmakers and Reports Call Out Greenwashing

The inconsistency between fossil fuel companies’ public claims and their actual investments has drawn scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers and environmental organizations. A 2022 memo from the House Oversight & Reform Committee, led by Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney and Chairman Ro Khanna, criticized the industry for misleading the public about its environmental efforts. Internal documents accompanying the memo showed a strategic focus on blocking regulations while portraying a green image to the public.

Although the Inflation Reduction Act offers substantial subsidies to promote clean energy development, these incentives have done little to shift fossil fuel companies away from their conventional practices. According to the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. fossil fuel industry benefited from $757 billion in subsidies in 2022, including both direct financial support and implicit subsidies like pollution cost exemptions. These figures placed the U.S. second globally in fossil fuel subsidies, trailing only China and ahead of Russia.

The Economics of Transition to Renewables

Despite significant subsidies supporting fossil fuels, experts argue that investing in renewable energy presents a better economic opportunity. Cathy Collentine, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Dirty Fuels campaign, believes the clean energy economy is ripe with potential. “The economics around moving to renewable energies will, at the end of the day, prove to be a better investment,” she said, noting that the industry’s reluctance to pivot may lead to missed opportunities.

The Sierra Club recently co-authored a report highlighting the financial incentives provided to the liquified natural gas industry in Gulf Coast states. Collentine and other advocates emphasize that while fossil fuel companies continue to reap the benefits of traditional energy subsidies, the long-term economic advantages of transitioning to renewable energy remain untapped.

As the demand for sustainable solutions grows, the fossil fuel industry’s hesitance to shift hiring and investments toward clean energy could have lasting consequences for both the sector and the environment.
