Make our planet green again 🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝

well, since Joe Biden said that he'll literally 'work out fracking' and since he is a corporate puppet, I thought that the oil industry would go to electric energy. now we've got the EDF dumping this industry and replacing it with the electric energy! it is all political...

'Divestment campaigns achieve nothing. If they work, they will strangle the supply of capital for oil/gas producers that need it, and make windfall profits for those producers that don’t.'

Perhaps they realise that with digital currency they will have no choice. Programable digital currency will not be valid to spend at ''unapproved'' places, companies, goods etc. etc. Bretton Woods 2.0: The IMF Plan For Total Control!!

I wonder if they ever considered, that so called „green“ or „clean energy“ is possibly neither, „green“ nor „clean“!
