Big Oil Retreats: Europe's Energy Giants Ditch Green Pledges

Europe's oil majors scale back climate ambitions.

Europe's oil and gas giants are increasingly scaling back their climate goals
as they struggle to deliver on their ambitious clean energy pledges.
[emphasis, links added]

In 2022, Norway's state-controlled energy giant Equinor ASA laid its roadmap
to achieving net zero emissions.

However, in February Equinor scrapped a pledge to devote more than 50% of its
gross capital expenditure to renewables and low-carbon solutions by 2030.

Equinor has also abandoned plans to invest in Vietnam's offshore wind sector,
dealing a significant blow to the country's green energy ambitions.

This marked the first time Equinor has abandoned offshore wind development;
in contrast, the company has previously exited more than a dozen fossil fuel
projects to focus on renewables and low-carbon systems.

"The energy transition has started, but the opportunity set for high-value
growth is more limited than we had anticipated," Equinor CEO Anders Opedal
said on Thursday.

Similarly, Equinor has announced that it will not move forward with plans to
build a pipeline to carry hydrogen from Norway to Germany with partner RWE,
citing a lack of customers as well as an inadequate regulatory framework.

Equinor was to build hydrogen plants that would enable Norway to send up to
10 gigawatts per annum of blue hydrogen to Germany.

Similarly, Shell has announced plans to cease new offshore wind investments
and is splitting its power division as CEO Wael Sawan looks to boost the
company's profitability.

"While we will not lead new offshore wind developments, we remain interested
in offtakes where commercial terms are acceptable and are cautiously open to
equity positions if there is a compelling investment case," a company
spokesperson said in a statement carried by Reuters.

Shell, like Equinor, appears to be systematically scaling back its clean
energy investments.

Earlier in the year, the company ditched plans to build a low-carbon hydrogen
plant on Norway's west coast due to a lack of demand.

"We haven't seen the market for blue hydrogen materialize and decided not to
progress the project," a Shell spokesperson told Reuters.

==================================================

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² Explains EVERYTHING!

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes for shorter winters, except for when
it makes for longer winters.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² means less snow, except for when Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² means more snow.

And Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes droughts in California and
floods in Texas and Oklahoma and generally makes wet places wetter and dry
places dryer, except when it makes wet places drier and dry places wetter,
except when none of that changes at all, and then Climate Change/Global
Warming/CO² explains that too!

And Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more hurricanes at the same time
as it causes less hurricanes.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more rain but less water... and less
rain but more water?

And Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more water vapour in the
atmosphere, at the same time it causes less rain... and less water vapour in
the atmosphere, when it causes MORE rain?

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² decreases the spread of malaria at the same
time as it increases the spread of malaria.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes San Francisco foggier... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² makes San Francisco less foggy.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes duller autumn leaves... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² causes shinier autumn leaves.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes for less salty seas... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² makes for saltier seas.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes the polar ice caps to melt...
Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² also causes the polar ice caps to freeze.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes the Earth hotter, unless the Earth
isn't getting hotter... in which case, Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² can
explain that too.

What's the problem here? This sounds like the perfect scientific theory. It
can explain literally everything including self contradictory things.

This means it's absolutely perfect, doesn't it?

Well no, not according to Karl Popper and the philosophers of science and
within the philosophy of science there's something called the demarcation
problem... how do you differentiate science from pseudo-science?

The left won't LET you, and brands you a denierrrrrrr(whining).

Big Oil Retreats: Europe's Energy Giants Ditch Green Pledges

Truth is, they can't "back down" from something they never stepped
up to in the first place.

Sure, Europe has cut back on coal on occasion, but even THAT has
far less to do with Gwobull Warbling than depleted reserves.

Germany was the industrial king of Europe for generations, and has
little or no oil and gas to speak of. Their's was a coal fired
industrialization! An over reliance on a resource means the biggest,
easiest & cheapest to exploit get depleted...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_coal_reserves

Compare Germany to, say, America's third largest coal state by proven
reserves, West Virginia: 1.8 billion short tons.

THAT'S why they've closed coal plants in Europe! It's the only
strategic energy reserve most European countries have and there's
precious little...

China has a lot of coal and STILL imports it when it can! Why? For
the exact same reason: Strategic reserves! It's the only energy
they can count on regardless of world events.

Their coal reserves are nearly depleted. They need what they've
got as a strategic reserve.

West Virginia is the 3rd largest coal state, by proven reserves,
and it alone has more coal than all of western Europe... and
then some.

...long characterized by extremely high levels of pollution. The
term was coined in the 1980s. For decades, industrially produced
air pollutants (chiefly sulfur dioxide), water pollution, acid
rain and other effects took an enormous toll on the health of
local residents and the surrounding environment.

This was created by the Soviet Union, the same people who turned
the Aral Sea into the Aral Pond, who did not care how many of its
people it killed for short term profit.

This is your model for what we should do to West Virginia.

Something something something about history.

Excellent summary! Left in tact.

IMHO it's about the following, in this order.

1. Money.
2. Globalism.
3. Control of the masses by the global elite. Rules for thee but not for me.

COVID was the dry run to see how far the governments could go with regard
to controlling the population.
And it was a success.

Green energy / Climate Control, taking away choice in cars, stoves, appliances, etc is/was the
next step.

We dodged a bullet this time because had Kamala been elected the failed policies
would have been ramped up to warp speed and it wouldn't be long before the USA
became a third world country. And in fact I'm not even sure that Trump can fix it.

places dryer, except when it makes wet places drier and dry places wetter,
except when none of that changes at all, and then Climate Change/Global
Warming/CO² explains that too!

And Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more hurricanes at the same time
as it causes less hurricanes.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more rain but less water... and less
rain but more water?

And Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes more water vapour in the
atmosphere, at the same time it causes less rain... and less water vapour in
the atmosphere, when it causes MORE rain?

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² decreases the spread of malaria at the same
time as it increases the spread of malaria.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes San Francisco foggier... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² makes San Francisco less foggy.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes duller autumn leaves... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² causes shinier autumn leaves.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes for less salty seas... Climate
Change/Global Warming/CO² makes for saltier seas.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² causes the polar ice caps to melt...
Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² also causes the polar ice caps to freeze.

Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² makes the Earth hotter, unless the Earth
isn't getting hotter... in which case, Climate Change/Global Warming/CO² can
explain that too.

What's the problem here? This sounds like the perfect scientific theory. It
can explain literally everything including self contradictory things.

This means it's absolutely perfect, doesn't it?

Well no, not according to Karl Popper and the philosophers of science and
within the philosophy of science there's something called the demarcation
problem... how do you differentiate science from pseudo-science?

The left won't LET you, and brands you a denierrrrrrr(whining).

IMHO it's about the following, in this order.
1. Money.
2. Globalism.
3. Control of the masses by the global elite. Rules for thee but not for me.

It's the Jews, Freemasons and The Club of Rome. Scientists are
brainwashed.

West Virginia is the 3rd largest coal state, by proven reserves,
and it alone has more coal than all of western Europe... and
then some.

...long characterized by extremely high levels of pollution.

The industry cited produced extremely high level of pollution
regardless of energy source.

The term
was coined in the 1980s. For decades, industrially produced air
pollutants (chiefly sulfur dioxide), water pollution, acid rain and
other effects took an enormous toll on the health of local residents and
the surrounding environment.

The world is using *A* *Lot* more coal right now than 45 years ago:

The issue was never coal, it was about where and how it was used.

This was created by the Soviet Union, the same people who turned the
Aral Sea into the Aral Pond, who did not care how many of its people it
killed for short term profit.

Failure could be brutal in the old Soviet Union, and even when it
was arguably "Safe," at least to your life, you can't undue a culture
just because someone said so.

"Corporate Culture" is a similar problem, where approaches and
priorities persist regardless of realities.

This is your model for

Look. The planet is burning a hell of a lot more coal now. Yes, this
fact does falsify your doom & gloom.

IT'S ALSO IRRELEVANT!

Europe has precious little in the way of coal reserves and THAT'S
why they need to stop using it! If they ever get cut off from
foreign fossil fuel sources, they need to be able to fall back on
their last remaining coal reserves.
