Weil gerade Energiepreiskrise & #Fossilflation...

Im Klima-Sachstandsbericht #AAR2 haben wir nicht nur auf die hohen Risiken für 🇦🇹 durch die Folgen der #Erderhitzung hingewiesen, sondern auch auf die gesellschaftlichen & wirtschaftlichen Folgen der fossilen #Abhängigkeit.

Masivní inflace - zdražení všeho - v posledních letech je produktem rostoucí ceny fosilních paliv. #Fossilflation.

Americký antimonopolní úřad nyní navíc odhalil, že US producenti ropy se podíleli na kartelové dohodě se Saúdy. To je skutečná #konspirace, která je prý zodpovědná za více než 25 % celkové inflace v USA za rok 2021:

An Oil Price-Fixing Conspiracy Caused 27% of All Inflation Increases in 2021

The FTC just found evidence that American oil companies colluded with the Saudi government to hike gas prices, costing the average family $3,000 last year. The question is, what can we do about it?

Dan Yergin has the big interview in today's NZZ https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/energieguru-daniel-yergin-ich-habe-die-diskussion-satt-eine-energiewende-in-25-jahren-oder-weniger-ist-unwahrscheinlich-ld.1819617

Lots to say, but just as much: "energy independence" isn't about quantities, it's about prices. And they are now, if anything, more closely linked than before. https://gwagner.com/heatmap-fossilflation/

Energieguru Daniel Yergin: Die Energiewende wird von der Politik angetrieben

Der einflussreichste Energieanalytiker der Welt: Mit diesem Titel wird der Amerikaner gerne versehen. Yergin hat eine klare Antwort auf die Frage, ob das Erdölzeitalter zu Ende ist.

Banner headline: hardly anyone cares about climate change.

Top two areas of concern: inflation & migration.

Key driver for each: fossil energy & effects of climate change.

Fossil fuel companies are raking in billions...taking from your wallet and dumping it into rich shareholder pockets. This is #Fossilflation – and it’s a key driver of the cost-of-living crisis. Supporting Canadians with the soaring costs of living means a #WindfallTax on Big Oil's excessive profits. Demand the government immediately implement a Windfall Tax on greedy oil and gas companies to give back to Canadians and accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels >> https://act.gp/3RDDpXO

Demand a Windfall Tax on excess oil and gas profits

Tell the Canadian government to impose a Windfall Tax on excess fossil fuel profits to ease the cost-of-living crisis and end Fossilflation

WRONG. Inflation has little to do with (below-inflation) wage rises. The real causes: #fossilflation supply chain shocks, the profit-price spiral, have been left untackled. #ClimateChange #capitalism #corporategreed

Fossil fuel companies should not be profiteering off a global crisis – but they are: in the second quarter of 2022 alone, Canada’s top fossil fuel companies made $12 billion in excess profits, a three-fold increase compared to the same period last year. While ordinary Canadians struggle to put food on the table, cover rent and pay for basic necessities, Big Oil is raking it in, taking from your wallet and dumping it into rich shareholder pockets. This is #Fossilflation – and it’s a key driver of the cost-of-living crisis. Supporting Canadians with the soaring costs of living means a #WindfallTax on Big Oil's excessive profits. Join me in demanding the government immediately implement a Windfall Tax on greedy oil and gas companies to give back to Canadians and accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels >> https://act.gp/3RDDpXO

Fossilflation means our deadly dependence on fossil fuels is hurting our wallets as well as the planet.

Their prices are unpredictable, and determined by international markets beyond our control.

Recent shocks have been triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine & burst pipelines.

But why are we so exposed to these shocks?

This government has created a crisis by making us beholden to foreign despots & fossil fuel giants.
