What the fossil fuel industry is saying in this year's climate talks

The fossil fuel industry has a huge voice in this year's climate talks. But what are oil companies actually saying? And why does it matter?

I had to send a comment in response to this piece.

Listening to this segment, I was dismayed to hear no mention of the energy source which the IPCC ranks as having the lowest life-cycle global warming potential, an energy source which supplies approximately twice the fraction of world energy that wind and solar do, an energy source which is already affordable and reliable. I mean, of course, nuclear fission. It’s all very well to say that wind and solar have fallen in price, and can be made reliable with batteries and upgraded power grids, but in most places that have tried it, the price of power has soared, and there has been very little decarbonization achieved. And that is the key consideration : a climate policy which costs too much or causes too much hardship to implement, won't be implemented. So we see that Germany, despite vast investments in wind and solar, has this past month reactivated a three-gigawatt coal-fired power station. French energy-sector greenhouse-gas emissions are half those of Germany, and electricity prices in France are about half what they are in Germany, too. Nuclear energy is such an effective competitor to fossil fuels that, in the 1970s, companies such as Gulf Oil and Exxon invested heavily in nuclear technology, in order not to be left behind. Considering how fragile power grids are across much of the USA, it’s important that nuclear power plants can be located near the cities they serve, reducing the need for (and cost of) grid upgrades. With “breeder” reactors, like the one which generated the first nuclear electricity back in 1951, the uranium and thorium already mined can provide more energy than all the fossil fuels that can ever be extracted. And, to bring us back to the subject of COP28, the UAE (which has three big power reactors in operation now, and one more under construction) and 21 other countries, including the USA, have just pledged to triple nuclear power by 2050. It’s not enough, but it looks more like real progress than any number of vague “net zero” pledges. People are hardly accustomed to hearing about nuclear, and what they do hear tends to be negative. That doesn’t reflect the reality at all. And it’s that reality that we need to talk about.

I cannot wait for the release of my new podcast "I'm Not A Changeling" on YouTube and Spotify.

This series will be about my experiences growing up autistic, the diagnosis process itself, and whatever else that may arise.

As someone actually autistic, I feel that we definitely should hear more voices from our community.

I hope that you enjoy the episode when it comes out.

I’ve recorded my last 5 posts, so basically stuff I’ve written in the past month. As stated earlier, I will slowly be adding recordings for my older stuff in this playlist.

Feedback is appreciated, though I’m recording on a very basic headphone mic so I’m sorry about that. 

@celestiaphia has proposed the idea of letting volunteers help me and indeed, this is a lovely initiative. If you want to record yourself reading one of my posts, please feel free. Just notify me in advance so we don’t end up recording the same thing! I’m sure it’d be lovely to hear more voices than mine when listening to this playlist lol
