All of these new facilities.

There are three times as many fossil fuel pipelines under construction and proposed for construction to begin in Africa as in all of North America.

And you take those LNG terminals, the cost of one of them, there's 71 in the works, 31 already existing, $25 billion.

That's the exact amount that would provide universal energy access to all of Africa.

So maybe we could spend that money a little bit better, but instead of financing actual energy access to renewable energy, they want access to the resources to export it from Africa instead of giving access for Africans.

You know, the potential for solar and wind in Africa is 400 times larger than the potential energy from fossil fuels.

Every single country in Africa could have 100 percent energy access using less than one percent of its land, most including the country we're in, less than 0.1 percent of their land.

What else are they ignoring?

Well, they're ignoring that

with solar and wind, you don't face the fuel supply chain risk.

You don't face price volatility for fuel.

Look at what's happening, oil and gas soaring because of the war in the Middle East.

In fact, they don't have an annual fuel cost at all.

So we should be moving in this direction, not least because it creates three times as many jobs for each dollar spent as compared to a dollar spent on fossil fuels.

Why do they also ignore the fact

that methane is as bad as coal when the leaks are factored in, and the leaks are ubiquitous.

And right now, in the European Union, the fossil fuel lobbyists are arguing as hard as they can to stop legislation to try to deal with methane leaks, because they think it'll cause them some money.

So...

What's really behind this preposterous theory they call climate realism?

Could it be that they're kind of panicking a little bit about the loss of their markets?
