#Green
@Ulzana
You are very probably entirely right but...
... everyone said they could afford to vote yes to Brexit as a protest against the conservatives.
Deliberate gaming of the polls system by rightwingers has allowed the #Conservatives to loot the UK like never before under cover of that single Brexit vote.
It can be dangerous to protest vote, sometimes the polls are manipulated.
There is 1 constituency out of 650 that you can vote green and get a #Green #MP btw in the #UK.
#ExtinctionRebellion colora di verde, il #green di cui parlano tanto i #governi, alcuni corsi d'acqua in Italia. #Salvini, che non fiata contro chi avendo presieduto #COP28 parla non di abbandonare i combustibili fossili, ma di catturare le emissioni (certo, sai che perdita di profitti?), evoca subito il carcere, in compagnia del sindaco di Venezia.
Quanta vigliaccheria.

No-one will be surprised that 475 #carboncapture lobbyists were at #COP28... carbon capture & storage is seen as a way that #fossilfuels firms can pivot towards a supposed #green agenda while utilising their already sunk capital (for storage) & cleaning their continued exploitation of fossil fuels can be made 'carbon neutral'.
Carbon capture is oversold, under-proved & represents an attempt to continue 'business as usual' while all around burns....

The head of #OPEC has urged members to reject any #COP28 agreement that “targets” fossil fuels

Well I think you are unrealistic - when people start a new party (except on the far Right) it does not gain traction - even the #green party struggles at 5-7% support which will not gain them a single MP - and they major on the most important issue of our time

Getting closer to #PrinceEdwardIsland's first large #solar array coming online!
#Summersides' new solar array will add about 12MW or 25% of their energy needs.
PEI buys most of its energy from #nbPower (who often buys it from #quebecHydro). This solar array is a small but important step toward PEI having #green #energyIndependence!
More of this, all day, everyday!

If you're looking around for somewhere to invest a couple of £million (unlikely I know) then heavy-lifting ocean-going ships might be a good idea.
In the next seven years projections suggest that around five times as many heavy lifting ships the are currently available will be required to serve the #offshorewind sector.
And, anyone who can also find a way of making these ships more #green will make a fortune.... just sayin'

The EU Council and Parliament have reached a provisional agreement on new ecodesign rules that will make products sold within the EU greener and easier to repair. The new agreement sets environmental sustainability requirements for almost all categories of products (e.g., dishwashers, televisions, windows, car chargers) and introduces a ban on destroying unsold clothing and footwear.
Yay for more sustainability and less waste! 🌎

Too late in game to just blame petro-chem arsehole elites
Yes they are largely terrible. Yes they have known for years. Yes they did it deliberately
But guess what?
They don't care!
Petro-chems will keep doing it deliberately
Consumer action alongside voting is necessary now, it doesn't matter whose MORE to blame, it's still necessary
When we see real evidence of consumer change then maybe there is enough will to vote #Green (as I've wanted to do for decades)

The master of low expectations, lowers expectations.
Interesting graph from above article shows that Europe and N America now have the legacy of hundreds of nuclear power station either decommissioned or due to be decommissioned. It takes about 100 years to clear a nuclear site depending on the tech used.
We will be paying for these crumbling dangerous monoliths for generations.

I have never been able to effectively vote for a Green #MP, so have voted tactically for decades in #UK .
I have voted for a #Green #MEP at every #EU election, and I believe got 1 to represent me, out of the 4-5 MEPs every time, for decades.
First Past the Post is utter trash compared to d'Hondt for example. Which is why establishment likes #FPTP.

#DakotaAccessPipeline Owner Slaps #WaterProtectors with New Subpoenas -- Third-party subpoenas allow #EnergyTransfer to obtain evidence, from individuals or organizations, who are not part of the lawsuit
Energy Transfer attempts to drag #Indigenous and #EnvironmentalJustice advocates into meritless lawsuit with third-party subpoenas
The operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer, is attempting to drag Indigenous and environmental justice advocates into this meritless lawsuit to stifle #dissenting voices.
By Greenpeace USA, via Censored News, November 27, 2023
WASHINGTON – "In response to recent third-party subpoenas issued by Energy Transfer, which target Indigenous and environmental justice advocates, Ebony Twilley Martin, Executive Director of #greenpeaceusa said: “The operator of the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer, is attempting to drag Indigenous and environmental justice advocates into this meritless lawsuit to stifle dissenting voices.
"'For over six years, #Greenpeace USA has been fighting lawsuits brought by Energy Transfer over the Indigenous- led resistance movement at #StandingRock. This type of legal #bullying, known as #StrategicLawsuitsAgainstPublicParticipation, is part of the #corporate playbook to #silence and #intimidate #DissentingVoices who lack the financial means to fight these lawsuits.
"Energy Transfer is now attempting to expand this playbook by targeting Indigenous and environmental justice activists through the use of third-party subpoenas. Now is the moment for us all to come together to send a message to Energy Transfer, and other corporations considering this tactic, that we will not be silenced and we will not tolerate legal bullying.'
"'These legal actions are an insult to the many Indigenous water protectors who continue to lead the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline and the continual threats and degradation of their historic lands. These attacks are a threat to our First Amendment rights to speak out, a threat to #IndigenousRights, and a threat to the rights of #nature. We will not let this meritless lawsuit silence us and distract our movements from all our work to win a #green, #just, and joyful future for all.'
"Contact: Gujari Singh, Greenpeace USA Senior Communications Specialist, gsingh@greenpeace.org, (631) 404-9977
"Greenpeace USA is part of a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use #PeacefulProtest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

So, I think we can all agree that the #IMF are not #green radicals... but its head Kristalina Georgieva has gone on record saying that climate-damaging carbon emissions needed to fall between 25% & 50% by 2030 but pledges so far would only lead to a "meagre" 11% cut;
She goes on: 'So that is to my mind the number one priority for this COP, is to recognise that business as usual has to be dropped'!
But she remains sure #carbon markets can ease the #ClimateCrisis

A revealing article on the headwinds facing the transition to #sustainable #green-energy.
From the article:
1. #Wind and #solar stocks are declining due to higher costs of raw materials and slow supply response.
2. #EV chargers and copper mining, critical for the energy transition, face demand uncertainties and reluctance in investment, and
3. Despite government subsidies, #renewable energy sectors struggle with high costs and interest rates, indicating a slower and more expensive transition than anticipated.
This is the problem with entrusting matters of such dire importance to #capitalism -- especially in an age of resource scarcity. As I say in my pinned toot:
**Capitalism is little more than an ideological hangover produced from a time long past when low hanging fruit was everywhere for the taking and people thought it would never disappear.**
That quote has deeper context than most suspect. I penned it years ago shortly out of law school after taking a Wildlife Law class from the, now deceased, Professor Dale Goble. He literally wrote the book on the #EndangeredSpecies Act. There he introduced me to the reason species have, historically, been driven to #extinction -- new technology + capitalist opportunism:
Gun powder killed the mega-predators. Whales? Spear gun. Passenger pigeon? Net guns. I could go on. But then we invented the petroleum economy, and in the opportunistic race for economic growth the decline has quickened by means of the collateral damage caused by #habitat degradation. Which, brings me to my point ---
The ideology that is capitalism was built around gluts. It cannot exist without low hanging fruit to fuel the #consumption #orgy necessary to get past the bottleneck of widespread consumer adoption. We are seeing the problem in stark outline today. Without #monopoly in the resource extraction sector, generating the necessary momentum to survive the capitalist "valley of death" is nearly impossible.
I conclude, there must first be an ideological transition away from the hangover that is capitalism, if we ever want to transition sustainable green-energy. **The fruit is gone, folks. If we ever want it back, capitalism won’t take us there**
