Many lessons learned re home upgrades, barriers to adoption,
But encouraging model for elsewhere.

Likely best for states with high energy costs and overburdened grid (like MA).

💡 eases grid strain of adding more electrified homes
💡 low/middle income homes = more numerous than wealthier ones, so much more climate impact
💡 can reduce energy bills for homeowner
💡 can provide backup pwr for outages, which are bigger strain on lower income

[10:50] Vinden bedrijven in Drenthe en Groningen de weg naar deze Europese geldpot? ‘Als we ons beklagen, horen we: dat moet van Brussel’

Twee jaar geleden was in Groningen de aftrap voor het Just Transition Fund, een Europese geldpot waarin voor Noord-Nederland 330 miljoen euro zit. Hebben bedrijven de weg naar deze zak met geld gevonden?

(1/6)⚠️ Carbon taxes deepen inequality. They put the cost of the climate crisis on consumers instead of transforming the system. But what is the alternative?

We need a just transition that tackles economic security and inequality at the heart of climate action. That means:
🌱 Decommodifying essentials & building the social and care economy
🏢 Expanding co-ops & post-capitalist enterprises
💰 Redirecting finance toward useful sectors and less in harmful enterprise
🔄 Industrial policy & public job guarantees towards sectors that create social and ecological wellbeing

How can we create an economy that meets social-ecological needs?commonsnetwork.org/2024/10/17/

💬 What’s your take? How do we push for socially just climate action?

🚨 Liberal green policies generate conservative backlash

In the Netherlands, the government’s ‘ecological transition’ plan follows a neoliberal agenda. Policies like ‘true pricing’ (e.g. carbon taxes) claim to tackle the climate crisis but shift the burden onto consumers, worsening inequality.

⚠️ Carbon taxes are regressive. Why should low-income households bear the cost of our economic systems?

A just transition must tackle economic insecurity & inequality alongside climate action. Social wellbeing and ecological objectives must go hand in hand.

💬 What do you think? What narratives should we build so they resonate with the majority of people who are living in precarious conditions?
