Brilliant work @recommon.org ❤️ glad to be able to support

Exposing Eni & fossil fuel industry pocketing billions of UK taxpayer money for a sticking plaster draining billions of our money over the next 25 years.

It's a political decision to continue lining FF pockets
Excellent work by @recommon.org exposing the government funded #BlueHydrogen and #CCS scam being peddled by #HyNet, #EETFuels and #Eni at #Stanlow. CCS is dangerous, expensive, energy intensive and unproven at scale. Shout out to @carolynthomasms.bsky.social.

The falsity and the reality.

#Essar doesn't care about nature. It keeps on #Greenwashing and pretending #Stanlow will become the world's first decarbonised refinery while it keeps on pumping and dumping pollution into the environment.

The fossil fuel industry is lying to you.

I put this on www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... about where the Govt is coming from on this.

Prioritising Growth over Climate and Nature was not in the manifesto, and they have moved away from what they were voted in on.
