    In light of the ICPP report, we should incentivize oil companies to help with geoengineering to extend the ice of the Arctic and research on cloud seeding instead of investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure.

        I should make clear that I have called for no new fossil fuel projects in California, 100% clean energy by 2035, a carbon tax, and new green deal. I just think we have to transition to investments in the above and mitigation of climate change and wanted to open the conversation.

        Ro! My dude. We need a plan to wind down the fossil fuel industry and move our country and world to 100% renewable energy. No mental gymnastics required. Please read @NaomiAKlein’s work on how geoengineering would endanger poor folks & POC around the world.

But seriously, here's a super short piece from @NaomiAKlein on how geoengineering poses HUGE ethical problems. @KateAronoff, if you have other good links, please chime in.https://www.thenation.com/article/why-geoengineering-untested-and-untestable/ …

        I admire all your work. Obviously I think oil companies have done tremendous damage. It’s why I don’t take a dime from them and have called for no new fossil fuel projects. I just want to explore how we best get to the clean energy future we all want and tackle climate change

        Are you kidding? These are the people who have been knowingly geoengineering the planet for decades--I wouldn't trust them with my dog, let alone all of life on Earth. They need to STOP. We need to sue them for all they're worth to fund mitigation and transition.

        To clarify: We need lots more clean energy, some of which will be owned by corporations (though ideally a lot by communities). But why would we need/want to transition oil companies to renewables companies? We need more renewables, not to coddle the richest industry in history.

        This is a VERY bad Tweet. Should be deleted & replaced w/ suggestion that: a) Is grounded in the context of the horrific crimes of the oil industry b) Winds industry down & lessens its political power (i.e., end subsidies & nationalize) c) Stays the hell away from geoengineering

        Agree that oil companies have done tremendous damage. But we need to incentivize transition to energy efficiency and renewables

        Replying to @RoKhanna

        Absolutely agree. Shifting subsidies is great place to start; U.S. spends $20 billion of public money on fossil fuel production/year. Would be great to remove it & shift to renewables. Shifting frame from "incentivize oil companies" to "standing up to Big Oil" would help a lot.

        Replying to @collinrees @RoKhanna

        Also, the original Tweet says nothing about this transition, which is probably why it's being trashed. In energy politics, geoengineering & cloud seeding are common Trojan horses thrown about by Big Oil to avoid transition. So it's not a great place to start the conversation.
