#netzero

If federal and State #Labor were truly worried about the cost of energy as well as the pace of energy transition funding to meet #NetZero , there are more effective and timely ways to address these issues than granting extension to #Woodside ‘s #Gas exploitation in an fragile environment,

1) tax #FossilFuelExtraction industries appropirately (a la Denmark)
2) use tax income to fund electrification and renewables (including storage)
3) legislate reserve gas for domestic use, price-capped to mitigate #costofliving pressures
4) properly support regional areas in local job creation (use that greedy corporate zeal to make some lasting changes in regional Australia).

No extension of gas exploitation was required and the #Corporate #grifters can go an f** themselves.

Have we reached peak neoliberal farce yet? A day after the feds approve Woodside's North-West Shelf climate bomb, Victoria approves a gas import terminal. Now we can give away huge amounts of our gas to be sold overseas only to buy it back and ship it to Victoria to supply the eastern states. Instead of cracking down on this market-driven comedy, Labor bows to its fossil industry donations while we and our economy suffer. Brilliant. #auspol #netzero

Experts debunk Farage claim that scrapping #NetZero would save £40bn a year

#ReformUK leader claimed abandoning #climate-friendly policies would help fund his party’s commitments to ending 2-child benefit cap & bringing back Winter Fuel Payment for #OAPs

But his promises have been put under scrutiny, with Treasury civil servant saying the UK Government was spending “nothing on [the] scale” claimed by #Farage.

"On #NetZero; the view is always that people don't care about it, but actually there's lots of evidence now to show we frequently underestimate how much other people care about it. And they do that because they have the media constantly telling them that politicians can't act on the #climate crisis because people won't like it."
