it would be nice to restore their electricity first. Hard to be a hub by candle light.

If its fossil fuels, then we are going to be the junkyard of the Caribbean We are too little to bear such an environmental impact They have to invest in clean energy We are their colony so It's their responsibility

Traditional Republicans speak for vested interests of big oil dynasties, not for hopes of earth for sustainable decarbonisation. Those elected in imperial fold to develop periphery states’ energy supplies ought 2 be breaking power of elite oil networks to give states more choice.

2/ The interpenetrating networks which connect regional/global processes, outcomes could, properly used, bridge gap between science, policy and public opinion. Maybe more scientists running for senate would create political will to take sustainable decarbonisation off back burner

3/ Bishop’s vision is to intensify, accelerate, entrench core processes of industrialism, because it enriches elites, and not to reform global political economy to accommodate for clean energy because that helps more people. He is firmly set out to please private venture capital.

5/ His “infrastructure” argument is friendly gloss for the Shock Doctrine. Private venture capital ravages societies, communities, destroys their real spirit under the guise of philanthropy, humanitarianism and bringing better “democracy,” often by violent means say @NaomiAKlein

6/ “We have seen this before, and we have to prepare for the future” another way of saying: knowing what we do, we must change what we do xo
