Energy firms have made record profits by increasing production of oil and gas, far from their promises of rolling back emissions

Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.

    I cannot change my energy provider. I cannot install solar either, because I live in an apartment. I can maybe put some cells outside my windows, but they’d only be effective for less than half the sunlight hours.

    Even if solar was installed in the building I currently live in, we’d have to pay the energy provider for any excess electricity we generate into the grid. Yeah, it’s that fucked up where I live.

    The world isn’t a copy of where you live.

      Then the only thing which is left for you is voting and convincing other people to vote for representatives who can change these laws.

        I do my part, but I don’t have the money to fight rich assholes and their seemingly endless supply of money financing bullshit arguments and political lobbying.
