Because of course they do. 🤦‍♂️

Heaven forbid we would allow our #FossilFools master’s sales to fall or their profits to slip. Gotta take more money out of the system that provides services like healthcare or education to the people that pay for them!

The case for #Electrostates is only getting better by great leaps & strides. Too Many of Canada's politicians are advocating we remain a #Petrostate which GUARANTEES we lose the #EnergyTransition #cdnpoli #CanadaSky #abpoli #ClimateChange #ClimateSky theconversation.com/our-interest...

Our interest in electric vehicles has grown due to oil price spikes. And it’s likely to remain

The clear signal this trend data sends is Australians are a pragmatic lot. If using an EV might save them money, they are interested.

#Electrostate #cleantech just became far more valuable as #petrostate engage in #oilwar to maintain monopoly on falling markets and destroy each other's facilities. #China has won but #India #Europe, #Canada and #Mexico and #Brazil will want to advance #greeneconomy plans. #Cdnpoli #EUpoli

America is a big oil producer. But its overreliance on crude and the president’s efforts to keep it that way mean times like these can hurt.

"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."

How Byzantine of them. It is actually a #PetroState Oil War & any enlisted person who believes otherwise needs an education in the history of Petrostates. And to realize they've been brainwashed. #JustSayNo to #Armageddon Enthusiasts.

It was supremely stupid of Trump to sabotage the Geneva talks with an illegal war on Iran. The US, israel, & Arab States lost a whole lot of support. Especially Netanyahu whose been itching to to destroy Iran for many, many years. No matter how you dress them up, Oil Wars are Oil Wars. #PetroState
