BP has confirmed that half the world's known oil reserves will never be used and are worthless. This article speculates about political consequences.

The article also talks about reviving carbon capture, but that technology was only hypothetical. If it is ever made to work, let's do it, but don't pretend it is available technology.

The plan to make hydrogen from methane is misguided. Methane wells leak lots of methane. Transporting methane leaks too. To add to that, making hydrogen from natural gas releases CO2! That is a bad way to make hydrogen.

As for the idea that there is something wasteful about using green electricity to make hydrogen, that would make sense if we were hitting a limit on supply of solar and wind energy. The real limit is how much of those facilities we build, and we can ramp that up.

Meanwhile, how come Greece, Cyprus and Turkey are still fighting about possible oil reserves under the sea? Have they not grasped this news? Or is there something not known to me, nor described in the article, which makes those new undersea reserves worth something despite all the other known reserves that won't be used?

Alexei Navalny demands Russia return the clothes he was wearing when he was poisoned, as evidence.

*'Landmark moment': 156 countries agree to Covid vaccine allocation deal.* People who are particularly vulnerable, due to their conditions or their work, will get priority. In the US, rich people will be first.

Cyprus blocked the EU from putting sanctions on Belarus, using the issue as a pawn.

Cyprus demands the EU take its side in the dispute about which country will get to extract fossil fuel from the Mediterranean Sea and convert it into planet-roasting greenhouse gas. It seems that the EU does not recognize that it must never be done. Why not?

There are many low-lying coastal cities in Turkey, which will be inundated by global heating. I don't think Turks want them to be flooded. Don't they realize?

The State Policy Network aims at *crushing unions, promoting fossil fuels and undermining climate science, eliminating regulations and cutting taxes, privatizing education, stopping Medicaid expansion, and hiding the identities of political donors.* Now we know 100 of its funders.

It would be useful to develop a consumer boycott list based on this information.
