Hoekstra's CV:
🔥 Former Shell employee
🔥 Over 3.4 billion given to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
🔥 Actively weakened dutch gov obligations on nitrogen emissions
🔥 Parliamentary inquiry after he pushed for further gas and oil in NL and rebuffed compensation to impacted households
We can not trust this man to deliver the climate action we direly need.
#nohoekstra4climate #FossilFreePolitics
🔥 Amid rising climate catastrophes, why is the EU putting an ex-oil in charge?
Hoekstra's nomination as climate commissioner makes no sense.
🔴 His trackrecord on climate action: Less than zero
Martha Myers at CEO explains in Euronews English why he is unfit to lead #Fitfor55

In Ireland @LNBDublin tries to introduce #fossilfreepolitics, limiting interactions of fossil fuel lobbyists with decision makers... But it was blocked by the @greenparty_ie 🤦🏻♂️
Can we get some answers from the greens as to why?

Regulation is failing to keep up w/ toxics & climate crises
Decision-makers need to recognise burden that corporations like BASF place on society in 🇪🇺&🌎
It's time to agree robust new rules on #PFAS & #REACH

#FossilFuel subsidies are everywhere & continue to outrun renewable investments 🌎
1 of @CANEurope's recommendations to get rid of them? #FossilFreePolitics 🔥

The @EURACTIV event was paid for by @Equili_Energies, meaning both @bricelalonde & his client @TotalEnergies got to speak, alongside the EU Commission and an MEP.
It was followed by a "light networking lunch".
This is how #lobbying works in Brussels

We found that:
❌100+ German businesses are key players for #GreenHydrogen and many of them have ties to the fossil fuel industry, jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon to lock in harmful infrastructure & production models.

After the #UkraineInvasion the EU had hundreds of meetings with the #fossilfuels industry but ignored those on the front lines of the #EnergyCrisis
No wonder we're being locked into more #fossilgas rather than addressing #energypoverty
