The oligarchs hate renewables because they can't profit from them. Once everyone buys solar panels, their energy costs are free. It isn't only the oil industry that doesn't want this to happen. Utility companies don't want it either. Anything that helps people and doesn't make money is an anathema.

This is the future. Give it a listen
It’s not even been 24hrs and it’s almost halfway to £100k- the pockets of billionaire mega-donors may be big, but there’s a hell of a lot more of the rest of us.
It’s been a long while since I last felt the glimmer of hope in politics. I never thought I’d see so many believing in a better tomorrow.
We've now raised £50,000.
Anything you can spare, will go towards challenging this Labour Government and taking the fight to Reform.
And most importantly - to creating the hopeful alternative.

@jimchalmers.bsky.social please?!
More upbeat chat than usual this week,
on account of a few good things happening! Great guests with
@paulbongiorno.bsky.social and @auspoldaily.bsky.social. It's a low bar, but it'll make you less angry/dumb than Insiders.
"He prediced 40 years in to the future...."
Yet the 'future' was already a US war in the Strait... www.historytoday.com/history-matt...
Never learn, US... just never ever learn.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
Some wonderful news
Once hunted to near extinction, humpback whales are rebounding
"We've stopped killing them," said wildlife photographer Chris Fallows. "Since the late 1960s,the population that was reduced to just a couple of thousand animals has come back to several hundred thousand animals"

Searching for a ‘technofix’ to climate change has many dangers. Could radical humility save the planet?

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
I can't understand this either! I heard Frank Calabria, the CEO of Origin Energy talking about gas as if it is an absolute ongoing part of the energy landscape into the future. 'Nothing to see here'....uurgh.....
I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
