I’ve noticed in Australia that when we have a conservative climate denying government people’s opinions shift in that direction. When we have a more balanced government the opinion shifts to being active on climate issues. Media has a lot to do with it however, leadership seems to be a big factor. It’s obvious that the government’s messaging is important. Trump’s relentless banging on about climate hoax etc will sway people who are not well grounded in the issues.
Also, he’s getting allies to fire journalists who cover climate.
The fossil fuel industry is one of the big sources of financial and propaganda support for global fascism. The more we implement renewables, the more we strangle the fasc.
Oh yeah because those sources are proving super reliable during wars started by the republicans? /s
They aren’t even reliable when it snows.
Oh, but woe is us, what will happen to the renewables when there’s like a slight breeze or the sun goes down for 5 minutes? Mass power outages all around the world! It will be a DISASTER!!!
Surely the only form of reliable energy we have are fossil fuels. Burn that coal and pump that oil baby!
I grew up in DFW and moved away in 2004. It was fine before then, but they let it go to hell by not keeping up with maintenance and repairs. So now it’s a shitty grid. :| Thanks, Republicans.
Did the renewables even wear a suit?
Yeah, this appears to be entirely a product of the masaive spending on pro-fossil fuel propaganda seeping through Republican media channels.
Shifting? Haven’t they always been the Gas & Oil Party? When were they not? I’ve alway seen them as the Gas the Globe Party.
The Republican party was, but the voters weren’t on board with it. That has changed.
“Pew … created by … the adult sons and daughters of Sun Oil Company founder” … LOL! O&G propaganda and normalization of DJT behaviour influenced the voters in their personal favours and against objectivity.
The kids are not their parents. Their surveys are generally ok.
Maybe I can trust them and you but I don’t have time to check that now.
Do you think it has something to do with high gas prices making Americans driving around big SUVs I think “drill baby drill”
Oh please, give us credible sources, not oil-based ones.
“Pew was established … created by … the adult sons and daughters of Sun Oil Company founder …”
Conservatives love money though, it speaks to them louder than anything else. The economics of THIS is coming for them whether they like it or not https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/26/04/02/2323220/renewables-reached-nearly-50-of-global-electricity-capacity-last-year
ask your freakin’ lungs & the lungs of your children & grandchildren how they feel about that
Bullshit.
Bots dupe another one.
Alternatively people who don’t support oil and stop being Republicans
No, everyone says big oil can go fuck itself and they’re all investing in renewables (apart from the complete idiots, of course)
