Im Mai nahmen rund 30 Aktivist:innen von Attac und anderen Organisationen an der #OMV Hauptversammlung teil – um dort gegen die fossile Politik des Unternehmens zu protestieren. Zwei Aktivist:innen erzählen, warum sie sich für diese Aktionsform entschieden haben, wie man sich darauf vorbereitet und wie so ein Event-Crash abläuft.

#SiliconValley joins hands with #fossilfuel and #ai is the new excuse. Anyway #oil #oligarchy has been funding the valley via the likes of Softbank and/or directly. #Putin uses the valley products such as social media to subvert #democracy

Hard to see anything good about the valley any more

This is what extinction looks like in real time—delivered by #fossilfuel development, fragmented habitat, wildfire, drought, invasive species, and years of political denial.

The relentless march of oil drilling rigs, livestock grazing and pipeline corridors have killed every Sage Grouse in North Dakota.

theguardian.com/environment/20. Even if Ed Miliband could be trusted on this (he can't), net-zero in 25 years' time is nowhere near good enough - indeed, it's a #fossilfuel industry inspired farce. We need big cuts in #emissions NOW, curbs to fossil fuel extraction & burning NOW. The current level of atmospheric #CO2 is 428.22 ppm (11th July, see keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/), higher than at any time in the past 3.5 million years, @thegreenparty, @NorthantsGreens.

While the Brazilian government is selling off the Amazon Rainforest to fossil fuel companies, banks like Banco Santander are bankrolling them to further destroy the Amazon. Without money, fossil fuel giants can’t drill. Sign the petition and tell Santander, stop destroying the Amazon! act.350.org/sign/Santander-ama

Every Dirty Gift #Trump’s #BigBill Gives the #FossilFuel Industry
Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” has billions for oil and gas companies: tax breaks, deductions, and pay-to-play #environmental #deregulation

by Antonia Juhasz, July 10, 2025

"The new law compounds the already $17 billion in direct federal subsidies U.S. taxpayers pay to oil, gas, and coal companies every year. It cuts hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives for #RenewableEnergy, despite it being cheaper, healthier, more efficient, and more reliable than #FossilFuels. As a result, the law threatens nearly a million U.S. jobs and will result in higher electricity and transportation costs for people living in every state in the continental U.S.

"The power of the fossil fuel industry over Trump and the #RepublicanParty is on full display in their Big Beautiful Bill. Mike Sommers, president of the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, the fossil fuel industry’s largest lobbying group, told CNBC, 'It includes almost all of our priorities.' "

theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j. "The #Democratic party & the #climate movement have been 'too cautious & polite' & should instead be denouncing the #fossilfuel industry’s 'huge denial operation', the US senator Sheldon Whitehouse said. 'The fossil fuel industry has run the biggest & most malevolent #propaganda operation the country has ever seen.'" Do you agree, @GeraldKutney?

Some interesting stats on submissions received during consultation for the Richmond Valley renewables project:

Quote : According to a report summarising public feedback on the project, a “large number of submissions … raised concerns with perceived increase in bushfire risk and impacts to or reduction of biodiversity.”

The original EIS for the Richmond Valley solar and battery project received a total of 48 public submissions, 44 of which objected to the project. Just 12 of the total submissions were from people living within 5 km of the project (two were supportive) and another seven were between 5-100 km of the project.

The vast majority of submissions, just under 30, were from respondents living more than 100 km from the proposed project. End_Quote

Me thinks there’s a whole lot more anti-renewables and #ClimateDeniers doing a lot of writing here than genuine concerns expressed by those likely to be affected. Bet you the #fossilfuel lobbies are involved…
