🧵Our new analysis reveals that Canada provided over $18.6 BILLION to oil & gas companies last year and $65 billion over the last four
Taxpayer dollars should not be going to the very companies fueling both the climate and affordability crises that are hurting so many today
2/ Instead of going to #climatevillains, $65 billion could have funded every major wind and solar project built in Canada from 2019-2021 12x over
Half of it could double transit ridership across Canada
It is 10x what the govt has invested in climate change adaptation since 2015

🧵A new front in the greenwashing battle has opened: blending #hydrogen into fossil gas infrastructure to achieve nominal emissions reductions
TLDR: it's not a climate solution
The reason why gas distribution companies like @Enbridge are touting blended #hydrogen is not because they want the world to go green, but because it will lock in continued use of their gas pipes
They don't care about the climate, they are actively fighting electrification
