Philanthropaths have been manufacturing consent for carbon capture and storage for decades. They use discretionary funding to shape the messaging and narratives of climate campaigners. This is why climate campaigners are virtually silent about the CCS boom
Australia's Clean Energy Regulator Act that creates the Clean Energy Regulator does not contain a definition of 'clean energy'. When I phoned them up the operator could not tell me the definition they work with. classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth... 'clean energy' includes CCS.

@punterspolitics.bsky.social "Santos said the Clean Energy Regulator had granted it 614,133 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) – the first time credits of that scale have been awarded to a project of its kind. The allocation covers Moomba’s initial six months of operation"

Digital ID, brought in with spurious pretexts, is the gateway to CBDCs and banksters ruling the digital panopticon. x.com/wideawake_me...

If they were truly commited they would have commended Lidia Thorpe for asking Minister McCarthy in estimates last week what Labor plans to do about the CATSI Act reform process it cancelled. But Davis and Anderson prefer to be very general in their criticisms. parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/dow...

Note: all references to Carmichael Rail Network Pty Ltd in the Bowen Rail Company submission by Brendan Lane occur in the annexed Carmichael Rail Network Access Policy.

In contrast: the Aurizon submission is very clear on which Adani entity is accountable for rail.

@rodcampbell.bsky.social QCoal and others have requested declaration of Adani's Abbot Point terminal. QCoal's people charge that Adani's vertically integrated infrastructure precludes competitive access. Adani's people avoid exposing the entity operating the CRN. www.qca.org.au/wp-content/u...

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that the investment arm of the world's wealthiest oil and gas companies are getting everything they need to develop their Northern Endurance Partnership project to supply CO2 storage and transport in the North Sea? michaelswifte.substack.com/p/the-msm-ar...

Stopping the Northern Endurance Partnership funded primarily by the investment arm of the world's wealthiest oil and gas companies should be at the top of the list. Explaining that 'clean energy' is not the same as renewable energy should also be a priority. open.substack.com/pub/michaels...

Remember when JB Noisecat said that Biden's climate plans were a Green New Deal in "all but name"?

Hows that working out?

Not so good. #climate

Environment and Climate Change Canada:

"there is no credible path to carbon neutrality without carbon management technologies, such as carbon capture and storage, and their deployment must be rapid and immense, scaling up by nearly 200 times by 2050."

Remember when Naomi Klein in her book This Changes Everything warned that carbon capture and storage used to supply CO2 for enhanced oil recovery could triple or even quadruple US proven reserves, and then the Biden admin expanded the 45Q tax credit and climate campaigners were silent?
