“We very rarely see research with numbers this high,” veteran pollster Janet Brown said.

“Albertans have a pretty strong consensus.”

But the government won’t say if the practice of taxpayers covering delinquent surface lease payments will continue - that’s millions of dollars each year.

While #COP30 did not even mention fossilfuels, there is hope on the horizon. In April next year, #Colombia and the #Netherlands will host the First International #Conference for the Phase-Out of #FossilFuels.

That is no small thing. That is moral leadership.

'The oil price cap is dead in the water – time to cut Russian oil for good'

'...which allows G7 operators to carry Russian oil below the cap while simultaneously targeting third-country companies that facilitate such trade. The question is no longer whether sanctions are technically working, but whether we are serious about halting Russia’s ability to raise revenue for its war in Ukraine from China and India.'

Well lookee here! An oil producing nation that’s going big on solar power:

"’Nigeria is growing very strongly. And, I believe that there is a chance that Nigeria is soon going to become the number one solar opportunity in Africa — going above South Africa — because Nigeria has been running on diesel for many years, because the diesel price was subsidized and artificially low,’ [CEO of the Africa Solar Industry Association, John] van Zuylen said. Solar is now the cheapest option for many Nigerians.“

“Taxing airline fuel is not the only answer to encouraging more people to choose low-carbon travel, but it’s a start.

It’s ludicrous that the most environmentally damaging form of transport doesn’t pay fuel tax”

Another Cop wrecked by fossil fuel interests and our leaders’ cowardice – but there is another way | Genevieve Guenther - #ClimateCrisis | #TheGuardian

"One bright spot of #Cop30 is that #Colombia and the #Netherlands, backed by 22 nations, will independently advance a roadmap to #fossilfuelphaseout, beginning with a conference in April 2026. This conference could be a gamechanger. #UN rules require all Cop decision texts to be approved unanimously, giving the #petrostates veto power over global #climatepolitics. The creation of a fossil-fuel roadmap outside the Cop process may establish a trading bloc that could begin to sanction nations – and banks – that refuse to wind down #fossilfuels."

"Another COP #Cop30 wrecked by #fossilFuels interests and our leaders’ cowardice – but there is another way ... The fingerprints of #Russia and #saudiArabia are all over the decision text in #Brazil. But a group of nations led by #Colombia and the #Netherlands offer hope."

‘Deep divisions’: What did COP30 actually achieve and what comes next?

COP30 kicked off with high hopes for a historic outcome, if not solely due to its poignant proximity to the Amazon rainforest, a crucial climate regulator.

But, did any of this actually help in the end - and what has two weeks of strung-out negotiations actually achieved?

Euronews has five key outcomes from COP30, and what they mean for the future.

Nicht nur die #Bioenergie-Branche übertreibt es anlässlich der Umsetzung des #EU-#Gaspaket:s, wenn sie sich aus Sorge um mangelnden Netzzugang komplett gegen die Stilllegung von #Gasnetzen wehrt: Das Stilllegen von #fossilFuels Kapazitäten muss auch in ihrem Sinne sein, sonst hat sie jegliche Glaubwürdigkeit als #Klimaschützer verloren!

Auch die #VerbraucherzentraleBundesverband @Bundesverband schießt hier etwas übers Ziel hinaus, wenn sie mindestens 10 Jahre Kündigungsfrist für Gasanschlüsse UND finanzielle Entschädigung bei Stilllegung funktionierender Gasheizungen fordert! Denn 1️⃣. wissen alle, die in den (mind.) letzten 5 Jahren eine #Gasheizung eingebaut haben, dass #FossilesGas immer teurer wird, und haben sich im Zweifel bewusst und fahrlässig für die #klimaschädliche Option entschieden. 2️⃣. haben sich #Gasheizungen irgendwann wirtschaftlich abbezahlt, selbst wenn sie weiter funktionieren, und bis die Regeln greifen plus Kündiungsfrist, dürfte dies ganz überwiegend der Fall sein. Und 3️⃣. muss der Schutz vor fossilen Preissprüngen (alle Lehren aus der "Energiekrise" schon wieder vergessen?) im originären Interesse der #Verbraucherschützer liegen.

Komplett lost sind naturgemäß die Aussagen des #Gas-#Lobby-Verbands #DVGW, wenn der meint, es sei unklar, "nach welchen Kriterien eine „dauerhafte Verringerung der Erdgasnachfrage“ erwartet werden muss." Nein, das ist völlig klar: es geht einfach immer konstant nach unten, bis in sehr naher Zukunft keinerlei (fossiles) Gas mehr verbrannt werden darf! Lässt sich aus dem gültigen #KSG, #GEG, und untergesetzlichen Regeln wie der #BEW ableiten! Insofern kann der Lobbyverband eigentlich schonmal seine eigene Auflösungs-Strategie vorbereiten., kleiner Service-Tipp!
