Shame we didn't do this a decade ago, when Cameron decided we didn't need any of that green crap...
Lol Germany is right now doing the opposite. You can finally buy an oil hesring for your brand new house. The subsidies for solar panels will be cut. WE are now thinking about fracking 🤡
TBH I wouldn't consider Germany being smart when it comes to the energy
It was the leading country in terms of solar at home and probably still is. The current government is just on crack.
They created huge pollution by switching off nuclear power. And now they are stuck between fossil fuels and renewables. Which still pollutes a lot and it'll hardly get much better, let alone zero emissions. They also bet on h2 only to scrap or postpone it. Which gives what?
What's the clown face for? You think Germany is trolling? You think a joke is going on?
There we fucking go. Wasn't so hard now was it? Funny how high prices for fossil fuels cut through the bullshit so quickly. That's why I'm loving the oil shock and hope the price never goes back down after the war
I disagree with that. High oil prices help to built alternatives, but low ones destroy the oil industry. No profits no new wells. The best thing is to uses taxes to articially create high oil prices, without giving big oil massive profits.
Totally agree, just one addition. High prices alone don't create profit, high prices at normal volumes create profit.
We need demand destruction via replacement of infrastructure. Notice how all of a sudden things that were deemed too expensive or impractical are suddenly being done without a fight
Damn, the by-election loss to the Greens must have kick-started something in Starmer's Labour Party...
Omg. The Brits put their money on sustainability so they can torture the last surviving humans with their food.
All like ten of them? This needs to be accompanied by a massive house construction campaign; there's so little new supply of houses that it's literally causing a housing crisis.
I tried to get this code changes in Ontario 16 years ago. No one, at all, gave a fuck in government.
It's ok to to also require EVs.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
