I listened to BBC news on the radio yesterday (yeah, I know… 🤦🏻♀️) and apparently the UK gov’t, after dropping a heckload on subsidies on fossil fuels, is now shutting down any notion of a profit cap for those corporations. 😑 Free money to the people who destroyed Earth. 😭

That is absolutely not to overstate specks in other countries eyes when we here in Sweden has such a beam in ours. 🤦🏻♀️ Now our own governent are proposing subsidies too.😔 (Along the lines that I mentioned the other day that the opposing parties were also suggesting.) There’s just such a basic 1+1=2 fundamental understanding that’s lacking among policy makers on this topic. Not only that climate change is exceptional and unlike any other big project or problem that they’ve dealt with in the past (in ways that mean we have to approach some things radically different), there’s also the basic whiskey tango foxtrot of artificially pushing prices down in an actual and severe supply crisis.
