Greenpeace InternationalA green energy future is possible. Don’t let Big Oil and warmongering autocrats tell you otherwise.
Ending dependency on oil and gas is critical for resilience, security and survival.
Wind and solar is the way to go.
A decentralised energy system based on wind and solar is far less vulnerable to war, blockades and oil shocks than one built around fossil fuels.

snailinjection@greenpeace reason is not part of the discussion. It's about money
EndicottRoad59@greenpeace What they're really saying is that wind energy isn't profitable enough.

@EndicottAuthor @greenpeace which isn't even true, wind and solar are both extremely profitable and have the shortest turn around from investment to profit in the industry. It's why banks back loads of wind and solar all over the world.
What they aren't is profitable specifically for the oil companies, and unlike oil it's harder to manipulate and mandate a global price per barrel to make a secondary killing off "investment"

StuartB@greenpeace The execs are partly right, but reach entirely the wrong conclusion.
The wind isn't always reliable, which is why we should be installing a mix of wind, solar, geothermal, and tidal.

Walter Senn@greenpeace Just now we see where we are getting at, depending on fossil fuel. The next time uranium is not available.
