Interested in the #Degrowth vs #GreenCapitalism #GreenGrowth #GreenNewDeal debate? Then you should read Jorge Riechmann's short essay that's just been published in Resilience.org: https://www.resilience.org/stories/2023-08-10/ecological-transitions-and-energy-transitions/ #EnergyTransition #Collapse #LimitsToGrowth #PostGrowth #Ecosocialism

The history of exploitation... from the first colonization of an #african country Congo by the Emperor of #Belgium and the #exploitation of congolese people for centuries till today, from rubber to #cobalt needed for the eletrical cars, #smartphones, #computers.

Portuguese villagers on front line of energy battle with China

“We’re separated from the rest of the country by the Serra do Marao range, far from the big cities," ... “We have a saying: Beyond Marao, those who live there rule.

Yet these hills are now the front line of Europe’s battle to catch up with China and the United States in the global rush for #lithium, the element essential to make electric-car batteries.

“There is corruption, there is lack of the rule of law, which gives you more autonomy to be entrepreneurial.” The true face of #GreenCapitalism

After #cobalt was discovered beneath one neighborhood, Congolese began digging under their houses. Some tunnels extended into neighbors’ properties.

Cobalt is an essential raw material for the new "green capitalism". Do we really need to work that much? To self destruct so heavily?

All about the lies of the so called #greenTransition

"critically analyze the European Green Deal, the “green and digital” transition policies" ... " financed with billions of public money, are not as fair, green or feminist as it is said. They continue to promote a growth model based on public-private partnerships, the digitization of life and extractivism, destroying territories in the global south"

Three new "#solar farms" are being assembled near Leszno, with total power of 53 MW. This reminds me of a certain urban legend.

A new huge solar farm was built in a rural area with little demand for energy. The operator was required to connect it but it made no sense to build new transmission lines of sufficient throughput there, so a "resistor farm" was built instead.

That's #GreenCapitalism. Not #ecology, not even producing useful energy - just making profit.

"Innovators deciding on how much to invest in R&D will generally spend less money than is socially optimal, because their decisions typically do not include the possibility that the result will create shoulders for others to stand on. That, too, calls for #subsidies".

#UN-Projekt bedroht indigene Karibikvölker

"Ein vom UN Green Climate Fund (GCF) finanziertes Projekt über 115 Millionen Dollar droht, die indigene Bevölkerung Nicaraguas weiterer Gewalt auszusetzen und sie von ihrem angestammten Land zu vertreiben. Die #klimazerstorung könnte zusätzlich angefacht, die Glaubwürdigkeit des Fonds ernsthaft beschädigt werden."

"The elites are fond of dangling a grass-coloured future in front of us – deodorized, disinfected and depolluted thanks to #biofuels and #ElectricCars. But to produce sufficient #biofuel we’d have to cover the earth with soy plantations, definitively deforesting the planet .. "

I work with a lot of liberals (the crunchy, “business as a force of good” type liberals). One recently suggested listening to the Green Flags podcast (subtitled “how to humanize business and get rich trying”). All I want is to respond that as long as business is extractive (of natural resources, of time, of our energy) it will NEVER be a force for good) and tell them about the @CrimethInc Ex-Worker Collective.

Green capitalism is still fucking capitalism.
