#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.]

Are there any governments not completely captured by the future destroying petro oilagarchy?

"Australia was not the only rich nation to ignore the 2025 deadline for identifying nature-harming funding. One hundred and ninety-six countries have signed up to the GBF but so far only 122 have submitted a progress report.

The United States has not submitted a progress report, Canada provided no data and New Zealand said harm to biodiversity could not be attributed to any subsidies. Indonesia said the target was not relevant.

China said it had undergone reform and there were no subsidies harmful to the environment in 2024. But OECD data suggested China had $121 billion worth of fossil fuel subsidies that year."

" #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?"
