15 days agoWhat exactly is the rationale behind sending essentially a carbon tax paid by German citizens to the opposite end of the world? Other than potential for oversights and fraud, obviously. Instead of funding renewables in Germany, the money is used to “reduce CO2 emissions” during fossil fuel extraction, what the fuck?
Thanks for the context. I still don’t really trust the efforts to decarbonize oil, and I’d rather see it downsized or replaced (with e-fuels for example), than building new plants that are more efficient. Except we’re so reliant on oil we can’t just use less of it, so the options are limited.
