The countries committed to permanently ending fossil fuel use now far outnumber those against. Their problem? Their chief organising conference, the 30-year-old COP conferences, comes with vetoes from the petro-states. This year, 1,600 fossil industry lobbyists attended, and they managed to get any mention of fossil fuels scrubbed from the final agreement.
This ridiculous state of affairs can’t continue, and this is a classic move to break the deadlock. Sideline COP & the petrostates, by creating an alternative, they don’t have power in.


Sigh. Technology without energy is a sculpture.
“A super simple example for you: before fossil fuels there were no cars, then there were cars the required gasoline, now there are cars that can run off electricity, and we can get electricity from wind and Solar power.”
And there we go, the “we’ll just all have electric cars”.
Good luck with that. The future is horses, not electric Star Trek. Sorry.
You’ve said literally nothing that discredits my argument or furthers yours.
