I mean, if you’re worried about falling revenue, the govt could just stop giving away $10bn in fuel tax credits, which even the OECD says is just an industry subsidy that should be dumped.

Angesichts der Hetze gegen Bürgergeldempfänger gerne mal dran erinnern:
Der Steuerschaden durch Cum-Ex/Cum-Cum Deals ist viel höher als gedacht.
Allein in Deutschland ist durch Cum-Ex & Cum-Cum ein Steuerschaden von gut 40 Milliarden Euro entstanden.
Aber da geht es ja um Reiche & Banken.
Government has got this spectacularly wrong.
If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it.
But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech.

bar chart showing amount of microplastics found in human organs (brain, liver, kidney) in 2016 and 2024. Liver and brain levels have increased a lot, with the brain having by far the most -- 4.9 micrograms per gram of tissue in 2024.
We have plastic in our brains. And our livers, kidneys, heart, bloodstream and more. In just 8 years, scientists have observed an increase in the amount of bodily plastic.
The outcomes of becoming part-plastic are not good.

Das ist übrigens derselbe historische Zeitpunkt in dem:
- Kanzler Merz unsere Klimaziele in Frage stellt
- Ministerin Reiche die Ausbauziele bei den Erneubaren "völlig unrealistisch" & "überzogen" findet.
Dabei könnten wir eine weltweite Führungsrolle beim Klimaschutz einnehmen.
Energie Uniper bremst grünen Umbau und setzt noch stärker auf Gas Der Energiekonzern reduziert seine bisherigen Pläne für grüne Stromerzeugung erheblich - und argumentiert mit den Zielen der Bundesregierung.
Damit ist die fossile Rückwärtsrolle der Regierung offiziell. Was ausbleibt ist der Skandal. Neben der Tatsache, dass man Klimaschutz auf Kosten von unserer Zukunft als Zivilisation einstellt, wird das Land weiter abhängig bleiben von Oligarchen/Diktatoren und keine Chance haben Neues zu entwickeln.
