Every pro-renewables politician should be working at 100% capacity to flip the "the greens are making your life more expensive" narrative into "the fossil fuel lobbyists are making your life more expensive" right now, but I fear our side is too nice to effectively exploit a situation like this

@Techaltar I’m definitely pro renewables but I also realise the reality that virutally all of the infrastructure that enables our lives uses oil to work.

Whether that’s cars, buses, trams, trains, power stations, elevators, escalators, bicyles, air conditioning, sliding doors, factories, construction, shipping etc

All these things need oil, either to grease them or to power them. So we still need oil but the focus should be to find sustainable alternatives and move away eventually, from oil.

@Techaltar Oil is only half of the picture though. Gas is also heavily relied upon by billions of people for cooking and heating. There are also gas powered vehicles (liquid petroleum gas).

It’s not an easy or quick change. It will take decades. If not a century, to fully move away from fossil fuels
