What's in the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024? (slrpnk.net)

CCL is promoting the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, but it looks to me mostly like a giveaway to the fossil fuel lobby.

It gives a 150-day statute of limitations for legal challenges to energy projects
It gives a quota for annual oil and gas lease sales through 2029
It undoes the LNG export pause, and sets a 90-day deadline for approving or denying future export applications, basically preventing future pauses after the fact like the LNG pause

It includes some permitting streamlining for green energy projects, but it's not clear to me how big a deal that was in the first place, and most of its material support seems aimed at the fossil fuel industry.

Did I miss something, or is all the green nature of this bill mostly a Manchin invention?

All good. I am chuffed that you were good-natured about it.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

I had not anticipated "Oh shit that's a good point I should apply for a job with McKinsey" to be a takeaway that anyone would have to this post, let alone the assumed main takeaway from it.

How do I find organisations that support causes I want to fight for? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I had this exact same question and it led to me starting !inperson@slrpnk.net / !inperson@slrpnk.net as an attempt at a solution. It's already pointed me to a few good ones.

There are also some pretty fantastic ideas in this thread, which I plan to post as new threads there.

:-D

Why can't we spam the spammers in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

My absolute favorite is the one where to redeem their money from the transfer agency, the scammers have to navigate through a labyrinthine phone tree maze that never leads anywhere. He releases them to wander their way through it and just keeps statistics on how long they spend.

He ran into someone who had dealt with it before, and started talking about transferring money through this system and the guy started protesting and sounded so defeated. "Oh, it's so easy," he says, and the guy sounds just purely defeated and horrified as he says "No, no ma'am, I do not think it is easy..."

I'm volunteering to be the one to put the code together.

Next time you see a scammer, DM me a link and the details and I'll see what I can do.

I have an idea. I can't tell if it's good or bad. Let me know what you guys think.

I think when someone posts "clone credit cards HMU for my telegram I know you're just here sitting here waiting like gee I wish someone would post me criminal scammy get rich quick schemes, I can't want to have a felony on my record" type spam, there should be a bot the mods can activate that will start sending messages to the person's telegram or whatever, pretending to be interested in cloned credit cards.

It wouldn't be that hard to make one that would send a little "probe" message to make sure it was a for-real scammer, and then if they respond positively, then absolutely flood them with thousands of interested responses. Make it more or less impossible for them to sort the genuine responses from the counter-spam, waste their time, make it not worth their while to come and fuck up our community. And if they lose their temper it can save some of the messages and post them to some sort of wall of victory.

What do people think?
