Citibank is the #2 funder of fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement and the #1 funder of fossil fuel expansion projects. www.ran.org/press-releas... WHY THE F*CK is Citibank in charge of $20B of federal funds for reducing fossil fuel pollution while they are actively working to expand it?

Where this gets interesting is when monied interests actually switch to supporting wind or solar with the intent of shaping it into something centralised, hoarded and thermal-generation-esque (in terms of dispatch). Eg: this Saudi Aramco project (marketed under their Masdar subsidiary)

“Despite global climate commitments, a small group of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers are significantly increasing production and emissions.” Saudi Aramco, Coal India, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, TotalEnergies and BP did not respond to requests for comment. … really? 😥😡

How does Koch industries get rid of its environmental liabilities for its oil wells? Have you heard of fraudulent conveyance? Once the economic value of the wells is gone they are spun off to smaller corporations. So, all the money from new wells goes to Koch Industries. Then they dump them.
