That would be another instance of #FossilSubsidies

Today all main Dutch newspapers present the new research by #SOMO proving that the NL government is subsidising fossil energy with 37,5 billion every year! They have been promising since 2009 to reduce the subsidies, but if you are not clear about the exact figures, you can get away with murder. #fossilsubsidies

https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/chart-of-the-week So here’s our collective commitment to making the planet hotter than Omar Rudberg. Fossil subsidies were never as high as today. #climate #fossil #climatechange #tax #fossilsubsidies

'De goede resultaten komen oa door lagere #brandstofprijzen.'
WAAROM, NOS ???
Als wij kleine luiden HOGERE prijzen betalen ???
Weer #fossilsubventionen #fossilsubsidies ??

EU large banks & ethical Cinderella banks.

An opinion piece on how ethical banking in the EU (and UK) has not needed bailing out ever, and has massively benefitted local communities.

While fat banks have done the opposites!

They effectively subsidise harmful extractive industries that bring us heat domes & related deaths @ suffering!

Boring researchers like Demarais keep saying that economic #sanctions fail 87 % of the time. Nonsense. Money talks: over 500 G$ of additional #FossilSubsidies in 2022 prove that the #EnergyCrisis was very effective, if the goal was to privatize profits and socialize losses.

(And that's without counting 1 T$ of military spending whose chief goal is to control energy sources worldwide.)

Miracles of having a right-wing government in control of the media discourse: imposing price controls is now considered "market friendly" and hiding public debt by shifting it to the balance sheet of state-owned corporations is responsible financial management.

@patafisik Sogno un piano di "ricostruzione" che preveda semplicemente di demolire tali allevamenti per sempre e lasciare che la natura prenda il suo corso su quei terreni.

Si possono prevedere compensazioni perché le adesioni siano volontarie, come sta per fare l'Irlanda.

I sussidi all'agricoltura non devono necessariamente essere anti #clima come la #PAC.

@jon I didn't see this coming: «Sleepers are particularly popular with business travellers, who can swap a late-night flight and hotel stay for a train trip that arrives in a city centre in time for a morning meeting.»

Someone should tell #Traficom, which keeps subsidising short-distance flights claiming they're necessary for the business people of #Finland.

(Hundreds € of #FossilSubsidies for each passenger. They could be replaced with coupons to be spent on trains, hotels.)

More #FossilSubsidies madness: the #REPowerEU proposal would exempt new fossil fuel investments from the "do no significant harm" principle, the bedrock of environmental protection in the #EU, even in the text approved by the EP.

#Finland just increased #FossilSubsidies even more (fossil agriculture, power and air travel). Because of course.

2022 #energy policy is beyond absurd: first create an artificial supply crunch so refiner profits grow to 60 $/barrel https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/why-is-there-worldwide-oil-refining-crunch-2022-06-22/ and transaction costs grow for oil importing countries https://www.piie.com/blogs/realtime-economic-issues-watch/eu-and-uks-plan-ban-insurance-tankers-carrying-russian-oil-bad; then, stimulate oil demand with additional #fossilsubsidies. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/yellen-says-gasoline-tax-holiday-worth-considering-anti-inflation-tool-2022-06-21/
