Making an amount look impressive as cumulative, or look tiny as per use is a favourite marketing trick.
Just 10p a day!
You’ll save £300+ in a year!
But when something affects all of us, like total energy use and total climate pollution, should companies be forced to show both?

Big Oil doesn’t want Reform to be anti-renewables because they are part of the transition.
It’s just their marketing plan to greenwash themselves and distract us from their core business - more and more and more fossil fuels.

This is very useful, timely analysis built on Global Energy Monitor data, confirming that fossil fuel companies are not meaningfully investing in the energy transition. These companies are responsible for a tiny 0.1% of global renewable energy production.

Reducing their own emissions is actually a small part. Leading by example, focusing education around climate and skills for clean industries, and pushing back against the big £influence of Big Oil.

On first look this looks like good news.
But why does Big Oil want to support renewables?
Because they’re committed to a transition?
Or because they use their minimal spending on renewables as greenwash to distract from their increasing fossil fuel extraction?
Spending figures suggest the 2nd.
