We begin our new campaign Frontiers of Energy Imperialism with our first event focusing on Gas.
Fossil gas was once labelled a « transition fuel » in an attempt to hide the truth that there is no such thing as energy transition, but rather an accumulation of new sources.
Natural Gas supplies a quarter of total global energy demand and is one of the fastest growing energy markets. This market is part of the capitalist-imperialist system that prompts countries to exploit, subjugate, occupy, dominate and invade other countries, geographies and peoples.
The gas market, like other energy markets, fuels and perpetuates racial capitalism; a system that grows and accumulates capital for racially « superior » profiteers at the expense of exploitation of other « devalued/surplus » population. This is exactly what we aim to understand, map and investigate in this event.
The panel is in collaboration with comrades from @wesmellgas @disruptpower.ps @afoa.cy and @netzwerkwedding.
