How to Stop Banks from Investing in Fossil Fuels | Lucie Pinson | TED
Money is pollution’s biggest driving force — particularly, the cash invested in dirty energy projects, says financial responsibility campaigner Lucie Pinson. She shares a three-pronged approach to stop banks from funding fossil fuel companies, including what she calls “collaborative blackmailing” (it’s more ethical than it sounds). By demanding more accountability from polluting companies and encouraging…

The world is at least 50 years away from being able to sustain its current energy requirements with any of the existing alternative energy sources except nuclear. We can’t destroy fossil fuel without a viable replacement and without China and India decreasing its carbon footprint and excluding china by calling them a developing nation is absurd.
Jordan Etherington
June 2, 2022 at 4:10 pm
So this is about decreasing reliance on fossil fuels through funding research into alternative energy sources. This is how we become able to sustain current energy needs with non-fossil fuel sources. This binary “It either has to work perfectly immediately or it’s not worth attempting” thinking is not helpful. I also don’t see what the purpose of referring to China and India is when this is is a discussion of western banks and their investment practices.
GoogiPaw1
June 3, 2022 at 4:14 pm
@Jordan Etherington It’s about not penalizing our most useful and efficient energy source before we have a replacement. Research by all means but don’t shoot all of the horses before we invent the automobile. We get oil from foreign sources when we can produce all we need. That’s economic stupidity and their oil leaves a bigger carbon footprint than our homeland exploration.
Jordan Etherington
June 3, 2022 at 4:25 pm
@GoogiPaw1 That would damage a lot of the natural environment and kill a lot of wildlife, which has consequences not just in terms of animal lives, but also long-term quality of life for human inhabitants. For example, deforestation increases soil erosion which makes flooding more severe and common.

June 3, 2022 at 6:07 pm
@Jordan Etherington Excuse me Jordan,
So you’re in favor our economy going bust buying oil, gas and rare earth, elements from foreign countries to save an environment that will inevitably belong to China, Japan or OPEC. We can’t save ANY of our environment if we aren’t energy independent, economically stable and fiscally responsible. I repeat.. Punishing fossil fuel driven energy does make this ” Either…Or'” situation.
Jordan Etherington

@GoogiPaw1 Considering that the economy won’t matter that much if I can’t breath or grow food, yes I would prioritize the environment over the economy.

We invest and they make us money.. why would I not want them to put my money into the best thing. When even Elon Musk is saying we need to increase oil production.. your wrong. Also your talk is all well and good until you google anything your talking about. April 2nd… RTE (france electrical company) asked people not to use power because they can only produce 65,000 mw and useage was supposed to be 73,000 MW…. Thats an issue. Your are demonizing coal while others are doing it to nuclear which is actually the cleanest energy we can make… its actually cleaner than solar which is crazy. a lot of people don’t get that because they dont bother to look. Its based on mining, production then e-waste at the end. So the real question is.. when someone’s grandmother experiences a power outage because you guys pushed for this and dies because there is no heat or AC… where does the family send the paperwork for the lawsuit? Renewables should be the front and used first but you have to have enough grid behind it when things do not go as planed.

That is a serious concern that needs to be addressed but we can circumvent that by investing more in green energy. After all, you don’t have to import oil from dictators if you aren’t reliant on it in the first place. It’s why Putin is trying so hard to stop people from supporting green energy.

@Nexus Six There are more types of green energy than just solar; wind, nuclear (though it has its fair share of problems), hydro, and geothermal are all green and have the potential to address the shortcomings of solar. Additionally, existing green energy is constantly being improved upon and are being made more efficient, and fossil fuel development is stagnating. Furthermore, new types of green energy are still being invented and developed; hydrogen and fusion are some prominent examples.
Jan Kowalski
June 3, 2022 at 12:25 am
@Nexus Six
Green energy is poor quality energy. Especially made from light and wind. It’s not 24/7/365 and power output is unpredictable. Not to say that electricity is hard to store and usually should be consumed at the same time it’s produced.

This is a great way for average folks to increase their cost of living, reduce their quality of life and destroy their retirement.
I’d like to know the energy supply chain and production processes that she benefited from in the clothes she wore to this talk, how she traveled to the talk, the food she ate that day, the energy used to power the venue, and to produce the technology used to broadcast this talk. This sort of hyperbole and hubris is naive and ignorant of the complexity of energy industry and society’s benefit from and dependency on fossil fuel.
Fossil fuels are foundational to all developed countries and have been the foundational energy source for developing countries. We can leverage technology and innovation to make fossil fuels cleaner, safer and even more reasonably priced. This is part of a balanced energy (all types – fossil, nuclear bio and renewable) production, transmission and distribution system. By investing in fossil fuels “Banks” (and thereby every day people) are investing in prosperity, quality of life and a better future for everyone.

The oil and gas industry is huge, and aside from gasoline for internal combustion automobiles, that industry provides key feedstocks for lots of other industries people don’t want to see hurt–pharmaceuticals, medical devices, (I worked for a medical device firm, and I know how much medical-grade plastic can go into those devices) electric automobiles, aircraft, fertilizers (so you can grow food for 7 billion people), and transportation of that food once it comes off the farm. So even if this speaker’s ideas take hold in the broader financial sector, it will only create a huge opportunity for multiple boutique petroleum industry-specific business and investment banks to fill the gap left by the big banks she wants to press into service on this issue.
Steven Kraft
June 4, 2022 at 12:47 am
@Ninja 12 Lawbreaker Hydrogen would be just as popular as natural gas, but there are several problems. One–it is far more energy-intensive to produce than natural gas is. Two, because of its small molecular size, hydrogen escapes containment or piping much more easily than natural gas or other petroleum gases like butane or propane. So your expensively-produced hydrogen wants to literally get out of storage or piping and escape into space. Third, hydrogen is much less useful as a feedstock for things like plastics or other chemicals and fertilizers than natural gas or petroleum is.
Sure, hydrogen is much less environmentally destructive to consume as a fuel for combustion engines or turbines. But there are lots of good economic reasons that natural gas is cheaper and more useful than hydrogen is.

1st green energy is not Green a 40 year environmentalist Ted talk
2nd oil is used in 85% of the products we buy so oil is not going away
3rd electric car are charged from coal oil and natural gas power plants and are made with oil plastic is oil.
4th only 10% of the world’s power comes from green energy and it will not replace oil because of inconsistent and unreliable output.
5th because of lack of investment in pipelines, refineries, Natural gas terminal at ports we are burning more carbon to ship and transport carbon.
6th planting trees is the best way to reduce carbon emissions
7th green energy technologies are not ready to support our energy consumption unless our population is reduced drastically
8th New Nuclear power is the only way to solve the problem sodium reactors but no one is talking about it very safe and clean
