Why not tax the windfall profits of @Shell and other fossil companies? Here's why: "Private enterprises can count on reaping the benefits only if they are confident that future prices will not be controlled. Otherwise, they are asked to engage in a heads-you-win, tails-I-lose https://t.co/HA8tsJ7cNe #WindfallProfits #FossilFuels #TaxTheRich #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.
🎬 Blockbuster ignored Netflix. Is the fossil fuel industry making the same mistake? @TerranIndustri2 explores why investing in finite resources is increasingly a bet against the future & why regenerative energy is becoming the smarter business model. 👇 https://t.co/7YNBcsEj8W https://t.co/4sIQcbDRlQ #FossilFuels #RenewableEnergy #SustainableInvesting #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweet.
It is much simpler: We know what we emitted since we know how much fossil fuel was burned. It’s twice as much as has accumulated in the atmosphere. So nature hasn’t been a source but a sink: oceans and forests took up half. And that’s also observed fact. https://t.co/akUoOCNCiR #ClimateChange #FossilFuels #CarbonSink #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
The Iran war is a redistribution machine: Big oil profits have shot up to historic highs. Our research shows that 50% of fossil fuel profits go to the richest 1% in the U.S. The rich are the ultimate beneficiaries of the war windfalls. The bottom 50% claim a mere 1% of profits https://t.co/lh1XJVtEY4 #IranWar #FossilFuels #WealthInequality #IR #US
On Morocco's coastlines, rows of wind turbines stand as visible markers of a successful strategy to reduce reliance on imported #fossilfuels & accelerate its energy transition @ThEnergyPioneer writes about how Morocco came to license 23 #windpower projects https://t.co/JmAWpFi7Ms #Morocco #WindEnergy #Sustainability #MA
“Oil hasn't reached the profit rates of tech companies” is an absurd defense of staggering windfall profits in fossil fuels. It's like saying because we are not living under feudalism, there is no problem with inequality. https://t.co/rpcomoAAXA #WindfallProfits #FossilFuels #Inequality #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/rr2mXOEXC7 #ClimateEmergency #FossilFuels #Wildfires #FR

What a symbol for US decline! While July 4th parades had to be canceled due to extreme heat 🥵, while China and most of the world invest in renewables as they’re the cheapest, the US Energy Secretary is ‘thrilled’ to regurgitate fossil fuel propaganda. 🤯 #globalwarming https://t.co/A1UmX9pgI4 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #RenewableEnergy #US #CN
