"New long-term fossil fuel investments risk pulling in the opposite direction. We want African govts to build on the continent’s #RenewableEnergy potential rather than lock future generations into another cycle of dirty energy dependence,” Ajra Mohamed, Climate Action Network Africa #EndFossilFuels

Gas from the North Sea #Jackdaw field would make a tiny contribution to UK energy supply & do little to lower energy bills or improve energy security. Worse still, climate damage caused by Jackdaw's extra fossil fuel emissions would outweigh any economic benefits several times over #EndFossilFuels

The far-right Alternative for Germany has just had a landslide win in Saxony-Anhalt state. AfD rejects scientific facts & consensus on human-driven climate change & opposes green energy transition & expansion of wind & solar power, including pushing for moratoriums or total bans on new wind turbines

Helpful explainer by @samalvis.bsky.social on why North Sea wont solve UK energy needs. Dwindling #OilAndGas reserves means there isn't enough & UK will stay reliant on imports. Plus, its all privatised so fossil fuel companies will charge market rates & sell whatever is extracted to highest bidder

Pro-Orbán “propaganda mouthpiece” MCC was awarded £57m in dividends from Hungary’s state oil company MOL just before the election. MCC was previously gifted 10% stake in MOL by Orbán’s govt in 2020, worth over $1.3bn. MCC then used this 💵 to push Orbán’s ideas. MCC also has close links to Reform UK

Right‑wing populists like Farage & Trump take huge donations🤑 from the fossil fuels industry & work for their paymasters. Truth is transition to green energy is a cost‑of‑living policy: ✅️cheaper renewables ✅️better home insulation ✅️energy security due to less exposure to volatile oil & gas prices

Also, #Reform is funded by fossil fuel industry donors & would reintroduce #fracking, ignoring science, economics & safety. UK underground gas is harder to reach/ extract so won’t be "cheap energy" & won't lower bills, plus fracking threatens water tables, risks earthquakes & worsens climate change
