Fossil fuel gas subsidies

vendredi 1 octobre 2021 à 02:00

*EU lawmakers vote to prolong fossil fuel gas subsidies until 2027.*

Note how the use of hydrogen is being treated as "low emissions", even if it is made the cheap way by burning fossil fuel. Likewise, "biofuels" are treated as "low emissions" even if they are made from crops that require fertilizers and pesticides, and wood chips are treated as "low emissions" even if made from trees cut in another continent. The fallacy of these decisions is widely reported, but politicians disregard it.
