The countries committed to permanently ending fossil fuel use now far outnumber those against. Their problem? Their chief organising conference, the 30-year-old COP conferences, comes with vetoes from the petro-states. This year, 1,600 fossil industry lobbyists attended, and they managed to get any mention of fossil fuels scrubbed from the final agreement.

This ridiculous state of affairs can't continue, and this is a classic move to break the deadlock. Sideline COP & the petrostates, by creating an alternative, they don't have power in.

The first ever International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, scheduled for April 2026.

Where can you get 40kWh for 7k? Thats off by a factor of about 4 in my experience. Parents just spent ~$1k/kWh for their battery earlier this year.
