Much damage has been done to our societies and the #climate due to #fossilFuels
The alternative was always there, but it was systematically destroyed
Appreciate the irony though:
Big Oil's decline has been ensured by their greatest triumph, #Trump
The stupid war on #Iran means every country will move off #oil
#China's #EV makers are kings of the world now
"‘The damage is done’: global oil crisis has changed fossil fuel industry for ever, #IEA chief says"

Analysis of why the fossil fuels shock could drive the electric age…but only if we choose it over mean reversal.
“China already has the factory capacity to more than double 2025 sales of solar, batteries and EVs. What was once seen as “overcapacity” is now just capacity.”

#SCOTUS agreed Friday that #energy companies facing lawsuits over #environmental damage to Louisiana’s #coast from #oil & #gas production can move the challenges from #state courts into friendlier #federal venues.
The ruling is a significant victory for oil companies, led by #Chevron & #ExxonMobil, in their legal battle with #Louisiana state officials over who should pay for the state’s #coastal #erosion. The companies have been supported by the #Trump admin.
The justices unanimously agreed to allow the #oil companies to fight the lawsuits in #federal court rather than #state court.
“Congress has long authorized federal officers & their agents to remove suits brought against them in state court to federal court,” Justice #ClarenceThomas wrote.

The case, #Chevron USA Inc v #Plaquemines Parish, LA, focused on a narrow question: whether the #oil companies could remove cases over #environmental damage from #state to #federal court. But the case has been closely watched by litigants in other #climate lawsuits because state courts are generally thought to be more receptive to people who sue over damages caused by #ClimateChange, including activists & state officials.
