“The time has come to ‘drill, baby, drill’ – responsibly, strategically and to meet the energy needs of hundreds of millions of Africans who still live in darkness.” (- African Energy Chamber, below)
The recently concluded G20 Summit in Johannesburg barely mentioned climate change, just another victory for energy and climate realism in a world valuing affordability. But what was notable was the following memorandum from the African Energy Chamber (AEC) with the press release:
Ahead of the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, the African Energy Chamber calls for renewed global investment in African oil and gas to drive industrialization, energy access and regional prosperity.
The 970-word memorandum, “Africa G20 Declaration: Let African Fossil Fuels Power Our Industrial Future,” follows:

“[COP30 was] the kind of outcome people like you have been bullying for for months…. And, if you please could keep for yourself your insane ranting backed by nothing but your fantasy (for lack of a better word) that would be better….. I might not hesitate to delete comments that delude, mislead or offend.” (- Boissinot to author, below)
Jean Boissinot, climate alarmist and energy statist, responded strangely to COP30’s failure. The ex-Director, Risk & Research, Banque de France, stated:
… Continue Reading… the final CMA declaration gavelled down minutes ago and not in the net zero future we need to transition to …. Although addressing climate change unequivocally means phasing out fossil fuel and getting to net zero…. we, as a global community, are still unable to face the obvious, speak the truth and do the necessary.
