silence7 OP Mod ,

It's going to take increasing the size of the Supreme Court so that the judges who are bought off don't have the power to block it

Heh.
Now I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends seizing company assets, but this IS kinda funny.

Soup ,

Oil and gas companies have already made themselves enemies of the planet and everyone on it so honestly they can fuck right off.

Kraiden ,

Who's trying to make friends? Burn them at the fucking stake, I say!

And contribute further to the climate crisis? No, break out the guillotines.

spidermanchild ,

What company assets are you even referring to? This is about seizing profits, you know like fines and taxes already do. I think you'd make a lot of friends seizing profits from these already subsidized companies that are doing great harm to the biosphere, but you do you.

admiralteal , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in Advocates call for permanent ban on new U.S. LNG projects

Contrary to "common wisdom" and industry lies, LNG is not significantly better emissions than coal. When exported, especially across the Pacific to e.g., Japan, it's sometimes within just a couple of percentage points the lifetime emissions as coal.

Solar is already a vastly cheaper form of energy than fossil gas and wind is rapidly going down those learning curves (it's already comparable in many geographic areas. The issue that US energy utilities simply don't care. They only really know how to deal with "dispatchable" power generation. They don't want to change. They don't want to adapt. They'd rather spend more (ratepayer) money doing things the old way. Even though we already have the technology to deal with nearly all of the "reliability" issues that come with renewable generation.

Your voice can influence this. In many states, the energy utilities are regulated by a regulatory commission -- and those commissioners, frankly, aren't getting a steady stream of feedback. They are often elected officials. I've got one of my commissioner's cell phone number -- they can sometimes be THAT accessible -- and they're in charge of holding these monopoly utilities to task.

We don't need a global socialist revolution to seriously address climate change. Tons of progress is already happening, even under the regimes we're currently stuck with. Don't just read articles. Talk to friends and family. Take action. Make calls. Vote. Donate. It's a still a winnable battle so long as you don't let the doomsayers suck all the air out of the room, but it gets less so every day that people stand by.
