Obscene treaty symbolizes what’s wrong

The Energy Charter Treaty referred to in the story is obscene — putting corporate profits over the lives of future generations and punishing governments that try to protect their people. (Although most governments today also seem to put corporate profits ahead of people.)

Whether it’s coal, oil, or natural gas, we need to keep it in the ground! No elaborate — and often bogus — carbon-capture & sequestration schemes; the carbon is already sequestered by nature.
