Money is the catalyst for all types of change & disruptions, but as long as the #CarbonMafia sets all rates/prices/tariffs in the economy, #Renewables & #EV's will be disadvantaged, much less thwarted. #Decarbonization #AtScale is the only path forward, but we refuse to believe it or to use our #agency to pursue it. #CarbonGrifters #GriftersGonnaGrift.

Would more North Sea drilling mean lower energy prices for UK consumers?

Kemi Badenoch claims increased UK oil and gas production would cut bills by £200, but critics say plan won’t work

Each time there is a disruption in #FossilFuels, the #CarbonGrifters haul out their #CarbonBullshit playbook to push for #DrillBabyDrill. Meanwhile the #Earth continues to burn from the #ClimateApocalypse & the #IranWar. In spite of having enough (much less an excess) of #RenewableEnergy to meet its needs, the #UKGov continues to entertain these calls while backing away from #CarbonFree #renewables. It is true madness. #NihilistDeathCult. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/mar/24/ministers-rebuff-call-north-sea-oil-gas-production-offshore-energies-uk?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Ministers rebuff trade body’s call to boost North Sea oil and gas production

Government emphasises need to ‘get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets’ in response to Offshore Energies UK

The #CarbonGrifters at the #IEA are beside themselves over the #IranWar now that it has turned into a #CarbonWar. How sad!

Now is the time for #Decarbonization #AtScale. Abandon your #carbondrivenassets and scale up & out all #renewables.

Meanwhile, #GriftersGonnaGrift.

International Energy Agency head says global economy faces major threat

The head of the International Energy Agency head says the global economy faces a “major, major threat” because of the Iran war. Fatih Birol told Australia’s National Press Club in Canberra on Monday that the crisis in the Middle East has had a worse combined impact than the two oil shocks of the 1970s and the effect on gas markets of the Russia-Ukraine war. His comments came as Israel launched a new wave of attacks early Monday against Tehran

The #CarbonGrifters at the #IEA are running scared. Consumers now have many #RenewableEnergy - #Battery options available to them to meet all their #Energy needs. They don’t need #fossilfuels or the wars over them. #Disruption (of supplies) has consequences especially when people have cheaper, more reliable & available options. @chrisnelder
#CarbonGrifters will do anything to fight off #Decarbonization. Using Pols and #propaganda - #disinformation as weapons against #NetZero is just another tactic. There are many more. The #Electorate and #PublicAtLarge must remain committed and energized to fight them off. #ClimateEmergency. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/20/uk-public-support-net-zero-rightwing-media-rories-reform-analysis?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds

Reform, Tory and some media rhetoric runs contrary to poll showing far more voters for net zero than against it
