2/5 The Dirty Deal is channelling more public money 💰💰💰 to big polluters 🏭🏭🏭

Carbon capture is dirty industry’s golden ticket to keep profiting from polluting👇

3/6 It locks in the shift from renewable to fossil hydrogen, a major win for dirty industry.

The Dirty Deal mirrors industry’s language and embraces hydrogen made from fossil gas, with the fiction that its emissions will soon be captured 👇

4/6 It promises to rip away environmental rules around infrastructure permitting 🚷🛢️🏞️

Our health, land and seas are being jeopardised for vast CO2 and hydrogen infrastructure, which will lock-in fossil fuels👇

5/6 The CID promises to create a market for “captured carbon” 🤪 which jeopardise real emissions cuts ✂️ and is unlikely to ever materialise.

By putting the fossil fuel industry in the driving seat of industrial policy, the Commission is waving bye bye to a fossil fuel phase out 👇

👆 6/6 The Commission should stop listening to Big Polluters: industrial policy should put public health, labour rights and environmental protection before competitiveness.

We need to transform our economy away from fossil fuels.

Renowned energy consultancy Rystad says hydrogen (green and blue) will play an "extremely minor role" in decarbonising the global economy over the next decade: 0.65% of total emissions reductions.

So why is the EU spending so much public 💰 on it?

A ceasefire is not enough when our leaders still let Israel's government act with impunity.

Sanctions now. Arms embargo now. UK Jews demand real accountability.

🕴️The tech industry now employs 890 full-time lobbyists, up from 699 two years ago.

🤯There are now more tech lobbyists than there are Members of the European Parliament.

New figures show that the digital industry as a whole is now spending €151 million a year on lobbying the EU, a major increase to what was already considerable firepower.

Not just the Financial Transaction Tax - the EU has withdrawn multiple plans to regulate tax avoidance:

🐚 misuse of shell companies
🕴️ fiddling corporate income tax
📈 on transfer pricing

Is this the inevitable outcome when we ask corporations what regulations are too "burdonesome"?
