The spirit of the Coalition lives on in the Labor Government. Giving cash to a carbon capture and storage project co-owned by INPEX, Woodside and TotalEnergies & calling it a RENEWABLE ENERGY VENTURE. Angus Taylor would be so proud. 🥲 #auspol #climate www.minister.industry.gov.au/ministers/ti...
So wish I'd thought of carbon capture first. As it is, I'm pining away while eking out a living selling bristle-less brooms.
It's not too late to get into carbon offsets. You can make anything an offset (and the most batsh*t crazy ones seem to come from Australia) @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social carbonmarketwatch.org/2024/06/04/e...
They really don't care about extinctions, do they?
That much is crystal clear.
the duopoly - pls remind me how it manages to fool 2/3 of voters every 3 years?
And constituents who care about the future generations are bloody angry.
The job-creation focus is a weird thing to trumpet given the money involved when the first project - if you break it down over its 25 years - amounts to 3 or so jobs a year.
It's almost as if they are jobs-washing some bad projects, a behaviour peculiar to Labor
Interesting question about what Angus would’ve done. I think he might’ve even blushed at this one.
Two sides. One coin.
Cash Capture and Storage
They are not noticeably actually the labour party.
Another Utopia episode coming to life…
Am I correct in assuming theses multinational energy corporations are eligible for $25 million in taxpayer funds for their project which may insert carbon gases underground by 2030? #auspol
The gas companies that have been making record profits and that pay no royalties on offshore gas? Yes, yes those are the ones getting public handouts. That's them.
Which is why I hold out and drip feed my tax.
If the Labor party were a foodstuff, they'd be a supermarket sausage, looks ok, makes a bit of a sizzle but when it comes to the important stuff a constant disappointment.
Yep, that’s @australianlabor.bsky.social and @albomp.bsky.social for you. They are not serious about climate change. They are mid managers swayed by the largest donation.
yes it is another Labor obscenity
Funny that it has been 30 years of trying to make carbon capture work and it has not been viable except when the carbon dioxide is pumped into natural gas reserves to force more of it out for production.
This blinkered purism is what killed the original CPRS scheme in 2009. And the ‘duopoly’ bulltwang is following suit.
Disappointing AGAIN. Not dinkum about climate action. Waiting to see if the WA govt gives the green light for FF companies to frack the hell out of the pristine Kimberley and turn it into Texas. No faith in WA govt.
World’s largest CCS Project, the Gorgon gasfields project, is in our own WA backyard. The failure of Chevron, Exxon & Shell since 2009 to make CCS work “at commercial scale”, has been met with total disinterest by Oz MSM. Un-newsworthy? Why? 2 of 2.
“The Bonaparte CCS project, Cairns will POTENTIALLY enable the development of low carbon industries”. Minister Ayres continues ex minister King’s embrace of the FF industry’s decades-old ‘clean coal’ fantasy: Carbon Capture & Storage - CCS. 1 of 2
Labor are just Liberal lite these days. Their pockets are full and they have forgotten the days when they werent.
Carbon capture and storage is a ponzi scheme to help polluting industry hide the fact that you can only reduce emissions by not making them.
It's like a demon jumping from body to body, possessing whoever happens to be in government at the time. The only solution is to exorcise them both at the same time, make sure neither of them has the government benches.
And I thought that I couldn't be any more disappointed in Albo.
