Global oil companies are reporting 2022 as their most profitable year in history.
Meanwhile, the planet continues to burn as household budgets shrink.
We must change course. The only credible direction to take is away from fossil fuels & towards renewable energy.

This is what Fascism looks like today. An allegiance to violence over country. This is a declaration of war on the American people. They don't care how many children die. They only care about power.

How do the courts respond to jury's acquitting protestors when they hear about the urgency of the #ClimateCrisis ?
By making it contempt of court to talk about the science that motivates their actions! 🤦♀️

Got talking to a couple in my local coffee shop about the climate. ‘The planets always changed… it’s natural.
If it does happen it’ll be in our great, great grandchildren’s lifetimes’.
This is what most people I know think. The media has catastrophically failed us.

I wrote 2 books showing 1) how Trump laundered $$ for the Russian Mafia & 2)how he was cultivated by and became an asset for the KGB. Maybe this explains why I was able to find such incriminating material and the FBI didn't.

“It seems like an odd thing to say in the middle of an energy crisis, but we may be on the cusp of a new era of abundant energy. Not because of nuclear fusion, exciting though recent breakthroughs are, but because of renewable energy.”

Long week, apologies for my maths ...
Typical nuclear reactor's around 33-37% efficient.
The rest lost as surplus heat.

A wasteful and polluting process.
What a way to boil water ... #nuclear

RIP Jeff Beck I took this photo in June, 1968 at the Fillmore East. He debuted a new singer that night - Rod Stewart, in his first US appearance. Unforgettable! More 60s photos at davidfentonactivist.com and in my new book.
