This controversial proposal has sparked a national debate. Supporters believe tapping potential gas and oil reserves could provide an economic boon, while opponents argue Costa Rica would be better served investing in renewable energy to maintain its environmentalist reputation.

"in high-income countries two-thirds of the financial losses would be borne by the most affluent 10%. In contrast, governments could easily compensate for the minimal impact on those on middle and lower levels of wealth. The study found that in the US, two-thirds of the financial losses from lost fossil fuel assets would affect the top 10% of wealth holders, with half of that affecting the top 1%."

The air here in WNY is finally clearer. It has been dark, cold, smoke, itchy for most of this week. Widespread wildfires in Spring? That’s #ClimateChange #leaveitintheground

Glad to see these politicians are going to eat crow. Not only that, fossil fuel apologists such as Youngkin are going to choke on this air just as we have in PNW, even before the Covid-19 pandemic. #LeaveItInTheGround #wildfires #CodePurple https://twitter.com/kayekory/status/1666810772993998850?s=12&t=iRlnlIxU6Qj9aCJ-UuxP9A

Really, is that so? Ok then Ben, riddle me this. What say a First Nations #Enby & their white #transwoman wife, replete with library books about #RenewableEnergyForAll, #LeaveItInTheGround, #MedicareAPublicGood, #VegetarianismIsTheFuture, #BlackLivesMatter, #ClimateCrisis, #Covid19Pandemic, #AbortionEveryWomansRight, #AtheismIsTruth, & #TransRightsAreHumanRights, choose to visit #Florida for their big exciting Merkan holiday.

How's that likely to go, eh Ben? What suddenly happened to those "friendliest welcomes and widest smiles"?

Is your shallow promo rhetoric rather conditioned-with-an-asterisk that reads, in the fine-print; "but fsck off & stay away from our women & children if you're not a dog-fearing white cis straight #ChristoFascist meat-eater"?

I just think it's just another good visualization of why fossil fuels are evil.

And before you go "nuclear is evil too": Yes, this chart is only about accidents and air pollution, not nuclear waste. I don't know about the numbers on that topic, I guess the more factors are considered, the safer renewables will turn out to be.

Still sucks

Making environmental refugees of indigenous people in Canada... You know ... one of the richest countries in the world, with a relatively small population to support and still we just make it easier to make a profit and harder for ordinary people in every day in every way. And even worse for black and Indigenous folk!

They just don't care, those capitalist companies and their phonies in governments and administrations.

Still a good read on this topic in a wider sense, despite having been published over a decade ago:

"As such, these cases—and the #KeystoneXL dispute in particular—provide a lesson ... unless unreasonable sunset periods are rolled back or canceled alongside #ISDS, the threat of investment arbitration to climate action will linger."
