Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"

After yesterday's infographic, this seemed the next obvious one to write. I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

Traditional economics says governments are limited by money. Trump's war suggests otherwise. The problem isn't dollars. It's missiles, factories, skilled workers & supply chains. Money can organise resources. It cannot create them. Prof Richard Murphy explains

Traditional economics is wrong: Donald Trump has proved it

Conventional economics says that governments can only do what they can pay for. Trump’s war proves its not true

Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend model should be taken to Canada—one of the most resource-rich nations in the world. "The dividend belongs to all people equally. The resources belong to all people equally. And the only way to do that is a dividend."
