BC: a few new #wind projects in December.
What social attitudes must we create to stop the #pipelines, #fracking, #LNG, etc.?
We have the awareness, through society, but the desire isn't there. It's opposed by status quo convenience & #BigCarbon & weak politicians.
We also have the knowledge & ability to address #climatechange in BC, but without leadership, and STARTing, we can't reinforce positive change!
"For the first time, #fracking operations in the US have been linked to ethane exports to Europe through major petrochemical companies and on to globally recognised brands.
#Plastic is a supply-driven issue, the campaigners emphasise.
Despite consumers being guilt tripped over their plastic use, it’s this influx of cheap ethane that spurs on the industry to produce more, she says, and to create new markets when some close."
euronews · New investigation links Texas fracking to European plasticsMore than 25 major consumer brands and petrochemicals have been traced to fracking in the Permian Basin, one of the world’s ‘carbon bombs’.
10,000+ dead in #Myanmar earthquake.

And then there's Elon Musk & his effing Boring Co., drilling even more into #Earth's fragile crust, all so he can ferry ppl arnd in #Teslas.
What a stupid & dangerous idea.
AIP · 2019: The Year Fracking Earthquakes Turned DeadlyThe first fracking-induced earthquake to claim human lives shows why magnitude may underestimate the danger such earthquakes pose.
Rare correct answer from Starmer....cherish it like a golden egg.

Goddamn humans are stupid:
#texas #oil company rolls out 42-mile conveyor belt to transport sand (for #fracking, of course).

Wright, a former #fracking exec, has emerged as the most forceful promoter of #Trump’s plans to expand American oil & gas production & dismantle virtually every federal policy aimed at curbing #GlobalWarming.
The U.S. energy market has its troubles, though it may not be the “national emergency” Trump says it is. An economics professor explains: https://buff.ly/Ai7yijZ

The ConversationThe US energy market has its troubles, though it may not be a ‘national emergency’The US produces more oil today than any other country, and there is no clear emergency on the scale of the energy crises of the 1970s. But there are some causes for concern.

The former fracking site now tapped for clean geothermal heat.
Several old fossil fuel wells in the north of England – including one that runs 3km deep – were going to be used for fracking. Instead, they may be a template for the UK's geothermal industry.
