Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠
A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future
In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

This is a super insightful graph from @kingsmillbond.bsky.social illustrating how countries like India that are experiencing economic development later are skipping over some (not all) fossil dependency.

De NOS neemt hier desinformatie over omdat die door een ‘officieel’ orgaan wordt verspreid. Alex Pretti vormde geen dreiging, was niet gewelddadig en trok op geen enkel moment zijn wapen. Hij is naar de grond gewerkt, met een pistool geslagen en meerdere keren in zijn rug geschoten.

De ambitie in Nederland om biomethaanproductie op te schaken is te laag. En gek genoeg staat dat andere innovatieve technologie in de weg, zoals bijv syngas. Want die komen er pas bij als de meest voor de hand liggende en goedkoopste route eindelijk wordt opgeschaald naar het volledige potentieel
Funfact: Denemarken heeft al 50 jaar (!) een biogasindustrie, bij veeteelt. Produceert bijna 6x méér biogas per persoon dan NL
En .. bijna de helft lagere CO₂ emissie, pp
NL: heeft al die tijd niets gedaan, want aardgas
En 'nu' hebben we een probleem

DK en DE zijn EU-kampioen biogas. De rest, aangevoerd door CZ, volgt op grote afstand.
De EU-biogasproductie blijft met 20 miljard m3 en 3% groei per jaar nogal achter om het afgesproken doel van RePowerEU van 35 miljard m3 in 2030 te halen.
