Wind and solar helped the UK avoid US$7.8 BILLION in gas imports during the Hormuz crisis.
That’s what breaking fossil fuel dependence looks like.
Governments backing more oil and gas owe people an explanation.

The scale of the wealth transfers from democracies to petrostate despots & oil oligarchs is nearly unimaginable.

It needs to stop. Keep that wealth at home.
@greenpeace Meanwhile cars, EVs, and normal cars are poisoning us.
@greenpeace thanks. Now we in Africa get the shit. All those batteries? Think they are GREEN? Ja ja. Strip mine my country for materials for that kak. I am surprised to see Greenpeace support this. Then again as a kid Greenpeace were my heros. They did not just talk and raise money.. they DID stuff. Like spiking trees, even drove into a whaler!
@greenpeace We even throw a massive amount of generation away because we cannot ship it south or store it. Free energy as a public national resource. Give every UK household an effective 10% pay raise. What a no-brainer competitive advantage for UK (and European) business! Leave it all in the ground/sea bed and make sure everyone else does too by not needing it.
Imagine if they couldn't fight over oil anymore...
