Surely you meant to toot that: ‘clean power development is hampered by the #FossilFuelIndustries ‘ don’t you?
Uruguy seems to have cracked those ‘hamperings’ very nicely thank you.
#fossilfuelindustries
If you listen to the Govt BS (let’s not even consider the #NoAlition ‘s views here) about a #gas led #transition to #renewables there is something that you must absolutely aware of… We Are Being Screwed by the #FossilFuelIndustries. Period!
In case you’re unsure, have a read of this (it’s nothing new, but it has to be repeated in order to be heard above all the BS that is washing over the truth);
This is from #GregJericho (he has repeated this story over and over again in the hope that peeps will eventually ‘Get It’:
“The problem for Australia is that since the opening of the Gladstone LNG terminal, gas prices on the eastern seaboard have been linked with the world price of gas. Because Russia is a major producer of gas, its invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions of Russian gas and other trade sent world gas prices soaring – doubling from January 2022 to September that year.
And gas is an expensive way to generate electricity – much more so than renewables, but under the National Energy Market the most expensive generation determines the prices. And so electricity prices follow gas”.

So this is where we’re at. Ever increasing energy prices because of two related things. 1) the way energy pricing is determined (a fool’s market for the punters) and 2) tying the cost of domestic gas to world market prices (a #Grifter’s paradise if there ever was one, why wouldn’t they love it?)
If you don’t like where this is going - email/write to your politicians and express your indignation and threaten to vote for someone who’ll listen and do s’thing about it.
Local Council, State and Territories, and of course federal elections, make your vote count for what you want from govt not the BS you hear from them.
@drrimmer
Either #AlboPM is delusional or completely corrupt. Nothing else can explain his shift to the right and support for #FossilFuelIndustries. I’m done with Federal Labor policies and politics. There are some State/Territory ALP govts that are worth supporting, but the Feds are Fed with #PetroDollarss
"Fossil fuel interests in the classroom
Branch said there have been "systematic attempts to provide teachers with misinformation about climate change in the hopes they will relate it to their students," with material coming from "very strongly ideologically motivated" climate change denial think tanks, such as the Heartland Institute, as well as from the fossil fuel industry itself."
Hunger for #climateliteracy easily fed with misinformation from #fossilfuelindustries

“"AEP, [Australian Energy Producers — peak lobby for #FossilFuelIndustries ] with the support of EY [Consultants to AEP], produced sophisticated disinformation that misled policymakers and influenced the national climate strategy to expand gas production, and delay the energy transition under the guise of credible analysis," said Claire Synder, the director of Climate Integrity.” (Source: ABC News)
Who would’ve known? The Govt and bureaucrats receiving the AEP’s advice to keep/build Gas Peakers on the electricity grid to support the transition to ‘green energy’ certainly would have seen it coming. They’d have to have been blind and stupid not to. Hence, the conclusion has to be that govt support for continued fossil fuel use (in terms of ‘natural’ - being anything but - gas extraction and combustion) must be intentional and in keeping with the #GasLobby ‘s wishes. Not only is our #Labor govt purposefully inactive on the #ClimateAction and #Environmental left-wing agenda, it is actively funnelling #PublicFunds to #Grifting fossil fuels #Corporations which pay #NoTaxes and piddly #Royalties.
I’m not a conspiracy theory advocate, but this sure looks like #Corruption, #Collusion and #NestFethering activities if I’ve ever seen any.
All the while, any ‘new’ gas fields developed in Australia will be exported to fulfil contracted gas futures (which are then re-sold at a profit on the international market by #Japan - a lucrative business all round).

@berniethewordsmith but also, politicians and political parties (and media) who are prepared to take money from the #FossilFuelIndustries and the #Billionaire are not your friends. Today's result is absolutely as much the fault of the #Democrats as it is of #Trump – they were serving the same masters and therefore could not present a clear and compelling alternative.
Women Lead at United Nations #COP16 #Biodiversity Conference in Colombia

"Osprey Orielle Lake, spoke on the revolutionary change needed, including the rights of nature law. She is asking the governments of the world to adopt a universal declaration on the rights of nature at the conference today. She said it is time to put #MotherEarth at the center of decisions, not financial institutions."
