@fladdle.bsky.social huge amount of work re: energy justice here + o/s:

Our Green Transition May Leave Black People Behind

I’m an architect of the Green New Deal, and I’m worried the racism in the biggest climate law endangers our ability to get off fossil fuels.

Who makes the most money from renewables in the UK?
The Crown.

The IEA has consistently documented our reliance on fossil fuels. Doubling renewables means sweet FA when fossil fuels are still expanding. Your reminder that all the world's solar roughly fits into a third of Tasmania. Australia's fossil fuel offsets needs at least six Tasmanias.

19,000 is roughly a third of tassie, where all the world's solar infrastructure could fit into this space.

Punishing job applicants for something fully outside their control, like the decision of a company to hire them or not out of thousands of qualified applicants, is exactly the same as punishing someone for eg: how many people walked past their house today. It makes you a fucking inhumane monster.

Exactly zero surprise that the Albanese Government's social media ban will have a disproportionately negative impact on young LGBTQ+ people - and that they don't appear to have done anything to even attempt to reduce these harms. #auspol

"Potentia Energy, a joint venture company, co-owned by Enel Green Power and INPEX"
It looks like this is not a good news story at all. This is a fuck around and find out story of how fossil fuels are fucking over renewables, yet again...

We're told the online age verification codes will prevent young people from seeing sexual or violent content but it's simply not true. Those searching in a logged out state can still search for this content.

The reason is that I have an issue with white supremacy + colonialism + fossil fuelled industrial agriculture + punching down on the vulnerable with racist policies eg Compulsory Income management, which The Australia Institute/Amy R does not.

China is getting into renewables for their own reasons, and it sure isn't because they're environmentally conscious...

Jane Doe 🐸✊🏽❤️ @noticingclimate.bsky.social · Aug 21

Yeah, but they love renewables too - for all the right but wrong reasons.
When it comes to energy wars, China is winning, big time.
China had 80% of global offshore wind energy in 2020 for a reason, and it wasn't saving panda bears.
