Re Australia, where the two biggest states have state elections coming up and energy costs is one of the issues.

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/43895228

A total of 12 fossil fuel and anti-renewables groups spent $1.2 million on Meta ads specifically mentioning energy.

In response just six renewable energy companies and one lobby group put ads on Meta platforms, but they spent just 1 per cent of the amount that the 12 kicked in over the same period.

There's tables in the article showing who is spending what on Facebook ads before the Vic and NSW state elections - Australian Energy Producers, Shell, and Minerals Council of Australia (including their astroturfing subsidiary Hands Off Our Fuel) are the biggest spenders.

Any 'good' party cannot support zuckerberg, or musk. That is one of the 'obstacles' for good, it has to play by rules/have standards. The other parties do not need to have any standards, so they have the upper hand ie: the alp being pedophile and genocide supporters, one nation buying off bogans with cheaper cigarettes.

I have never received junk mail in a letterbox from the greens, but always get a plethora of it from the trash parties.
