"In Alberta's last election both major political party leaders attacked a #JustTransition. More walkable, less car dependant #15MinuteCities were propagandized by the #AntiVax geniuses into concentration camps. The conspiratorial and fact-free are on the rise and somehow have been for some time."

Someone whose posts aren’t quite public served as a reminder to me to point out there’s an EU fund specifically dedicated to helping people in coal and similar regions with the energy transition.
Of course it is also up to member states (who control much bigger budgets) and it isn’t just about extreme cases like coal mining, but skills in every industry

Indigenous communities in Latin America are revolutionizing clean energy, replacing diesel generators with solar power in remote villages. This grassroots movement creates jobs, reduces pollution, and empowers local people to control their energy future. It’s a beautiful example of traditional knowledge and modern technology working together.
