#Electrostates vs. #Petrostates
#China is #building a new #green #bloc, while the #United States is #doubling down on #oil

[I can only read the beginning of this, but it's enough to get the idea. I don't know if they address the issue of how green is green.]

" #ElectroStates are the exact opposite of #PetroStates. Electrified economies powered by renewables rely less on territorial control & more on technology, grids, manufacturing capacity & finance. #EnergyTransition is therefore not just an emission strategy, but a peace strategy."

"Oil dependence creates incentives for regime change, military occupation & erosion of international law. #PetroStates don't just extract energy. They export volatility resulting in a global system where climate & geopolitical breakdowns reinforce one another. #ElectroStates are the exact opposite."

"Oil is not just an energy source. It's a geopolitical accelerant that rewards coercion, undermines sovereignty and normalises permanent crisis. The Venezuela invasion illustrates #Petrostate logic at its most extreme. This is not an aberration, but a pattern."

"Canada needs to pick a lane as the global order fractures between #PetroStates willing to defend oil dominance through force & #ElectroStates building power through #electrification, renewables & clean industry. Trump's war, openly framed as an oil play, signals a return to naked resource militarism"

"Our new Prime Minister was the banker to the climate finance world. #MarkCarney wrote 'Values' in 2021, he was all warm & fuzzy on #ClimateChange, warning of existential crisis! If there was ever an economist you'd think would get the #EnergyTransition it'd be Mark Carney. Instead what do we get?"
