CCS – Follow the Money

“CCS – Follow the Money”
=====================
The document linked below is a presentation of my latest study, “CCS – Follow the Money,” which focuses on the financing models for CCS projects in the EU. The aim of the study is to shed light on the economic side of the issue and the form of financial instruments offered by the EU or demanded by the oil and gas industry lobby. I believe this is a fundamental prerequisite for understanding the logic and tools underlying investments in CCS. Readers interested in the details also have access to the full text of the study.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”

 

The fact is that we have known about this issue for some time; it is nothing new. The amendment is substantial, which is why a new consultation is being launched. It mainly concerns the “relocation” of the offshore project about 1 km further south, to a new independent “Omega” platform much closer to Thasos. You can read the details in the document from the Kavala Initiative below.
Personally, I find the joke elsewhere, which is why I satirized it. The dates they set are laughable. Right in the middle of the holidays. The principle is simple. It is the well-known method of “strategic knowledge obfuscation” often used in administrative communication processes. Thus, you use the most effective weapon ever invented by a bureaucrat: information. Not a little—no, that would be ineffective—but so much that even a quantum supercomputer would suffer burnout.

The best thing to do is to choose dates such as December 23 to January 6, when recipients are busy with their last-minute Christmas shopping. Force them to suddenly face an overwhelming avalanche of information that ultimately pushes them to do nothing, because the sheer volume of material simply cancels out any possibility of productive action. This creates a state of paralysis due to information overload just before the holidays. In the end, when the opposing side returns to its daily routine on January 7, desperate and exhausted from the holidays, the sender has triumphantly achieved strategic control of the holidays through information overload.
“I sent it to you… and what you’re asking for was on page 2562. If you didn’t read it, that’s your problem…”
