BC: a few new #wind projects in December.

What social attitudes must we create to stop the #pipelines, #fracking, #LNG, etc.?

We have the awareness, through society, but the desire isn't there. It's opposed by status quo convenience & #BigCarbon & weak politicians.

We also have the knowledge & ability to address #climatechange in BC, but without leadership, and STARTing, we can't reinforce positive change!

"For the first time, #fracking operations in the US have been linked to ethane exports to Europe through major petrochemical companies and on to globally recognised brands.

#Plastic is a supply-driven issue, the campaigners emphasise.
Despite consumers being guilt tripped over their plastic use, it’s this influx of cheap ethane that spurs on the industry to produce more, she says, and to create new markets when some close."

@jhaue The damage in the Beetaloo Basin is a stark reminder that voting in the LNP was never in the best interests of the Northern Territory. Time and time again, we’ve seen environmental risks downplayed while traditional custodians and local communities bear the consequences. It’s alarming that enforcement action is still under consideration rather than a priority. #beetaloobasin #fracking #environmentaljustice #waterprotection #ntpolitics #climatecrisis

Ich erinnere mich an eine Grafik, dass nach dem #Terroranschlag auf die Pipelines 80+% der aktuellen #Erdgas Importe in Deutschland aus den #USA stammen - also #Fracking Gas von Arschloch #Trump ist.

Grotesk, dass wir uns erst von Biden #NorthStream II mit dem Narrativ "Putin böse" sprengen lassen und nun nicht nur keinen Wettbewerb, sondern gleich ein "Erdgas-Kartell aus Putin und US-Faschisten" angelacht haben, das den Gaspreis abspricht - auf der Basis des teureren US-Frackings ..

Continued thread

Before a packed crowd of #oil & #gas executives on Monday, Chris Wright, the new US energy secy, delivered a scathing critique of the #Biden admin’s #energy policies & efforts to fight #ClimateChange & promised a “180° pivot.”

Wright, a former #fracking exec, has emerged as the most forceful promoter of #Trump’s plans to expand American oil & gas production & dismantle virtually every federal policy aimed at curbing #GlobalWarming.

Fracking earthquakes rattle a way of life on ranch in northeastern B.C.
A series of at least four earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 3.1 to 4.3, struck the Peace Region of northeastern B.C. between Feb. 8 and 12. The British Columbia Energy Regulator has confirmed fracking caused the most powerful quake overnight on Feb. 11.

The former #fracking site now tapped for clean #geothermal heat

Fellow former protestor and local resident Hazel Winter, a teaching assistant, is also gung-ho for the new idea. "It's all for the good, it's a complete turnaround," adds Winter. "It helps them keep fossil fuels in the ground and it could be the template for a whole new industry."
