The "climate emergency" movement has rationalized its opposition to fossil fuel investment, production, and transport with claims that solar/wind could rapidly replace FFs. This has obviously not happened. Despite huge solar/wind subsidies fossil fuel demand has *increased*. — PolitiTweet.org

Consider the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have matched abundant, reliable Canadian heavy crude with US Gulf refining capacity. After over a decade of delays, Biden finally killed it. This made us and our allies more vulnerable to OPEC+. https://t.co/ZTUE0eMCVx — PolitiTweet.org

There was never any reason to expect solar /wind to replace fossil fuels. The world needs far more energy—3B people still use less electricity than a US refrigerator—so there's no reason to expect lower demand for any form of cost-effective energy, let alone ultra-versatile FFs. — PolitiTweet.org
