"As a former teacher teaching science curriculum, it mentioned #ClimateChange but the connection to the fossil fuel industry which provides the fuels, which are then burned, which then causes the carbon emissions, and that's what's climbing and causing climate change, that connection was missing."

#ClimateChange #Biodiversity #EnergyTransition - Scientists’ warning on fossil fuels - "The evidence is clear that fossil fuels—and the fossil fuel industry and its enablers—are driving a multitude of interlinked crises that jeopardize the breadth and stability of life on Earth. Every stage of the fossil fuel life cycle—extraction, processing, transport, and combustion or conversion to petrochemical products—emits planet-heating greenhouse gases and health-harming pollutants, in addition to causing widespread environmental degradation." - Shaye Wolf, Robert Bullard, Jonathan J Buonocore, Nathan Donley, Trisia Farrelly, John Fleming, David J X González, Naomi Oreskes, William Ripple, Robin Saha, Mary D Willis, Scientists’ warning on fossil fuels, Oxford Open Climate Change, Volume 5, Issue 1, 2025, kgaf011, doi.org/10.1093/oxfclm/kgaf011

"It needs to be in the public sphere & we need to get corporate #FossilFuel influence out. We need our governments to step up on this with full transparency and accountability to really address the trajectory we're on and the critical need to change course. It's URGENT."

"The importance of evidence based #ClimateChange education is all the more critical considering the corrupted information sphere in which we're all living. #BigTech funds algorithms that fuel messages to young people. It's really hard for young people to navigate this corrupted information sphere."

Tesla is a brand built on good will and practically no competition. Now the good will has been spent and the competition is accelerating, raising new challenges for Tesla's in the energy storage business as well as its cars.

In nur sechzig Jahren wurde aus der verletzlichen sorbischen Landschaft ein mit tiefen Narben durchzogener Landstrich. Die vormals bessere schlesische Steinkohle wurde nach dem Krieg jenseits der Oder abgebaut und verstromt. Nun wurde hier die früher als unrentabel deklarierte Braunkohle gebraucht. Auch das ist heute schon wieder Geschichte.

Schicht für Schicht wurde in Schichten abgetragen. Es wurden im Lausitzer Revier 135 Siedlungen devastiert. Insgesamt haben hier 27.500 Menschen Haus und Hof verloren. Viele von ihnen arbeiteten im Revier. Sie erfüllten Pläne und lieferten zuverlässig auch unter widrigen Bedingungen die Braunkohle in die Kraftwerke für die Energieversorgung der Republik.

Kein Stein blieb hier auf dem anderen.

...

In just sixty years, the vulnerable Sorbian landscape was transformed into a deeply scarred region. After the war, the formerly better Silesian hard coal was mined and converted into electricity on the other side of the Oder. Now the lignite, which had previously been declared unprofitable, was needed here. Today, that too is history.

Layer after layer was removed. In the Lusatian mining district, 135 settlements were devastated. A total of 27,500 people lost their homes and farms here. Many of them worked in the mining district. They fulfilled plans and reliably delivered lignite to the power plants that supplied the country's energy, even under adverse conditions.

No stone was left unturned here.

"The Alberta government's 2024 curriculum appears to have been developed with #BigOil involvement, directing teachers to discuss the benefits of #OilAndGas & their role in Alberta's economy. A recent report found an industry funded nonprofit lobbies to include this content in the curriculum."

"We're seeing a failure of government leadership to fully fund #ClimateChange education curriculum development, the resources & training teachers need. It needs public funding so it's accountable to us, not to a board including #FossilFuel representatives protecting their interests over those of students & teachers."

All this story of energy transition is because we have projected on the history of materials a history of technology. In the history of technology you sometimes have substitution, technology do become obsolete, but raw materials never become obsolete.
