WE LIVE IN A CORPORATOCRACY
The dominance the fossil fuel industry has on our way of life is evident. In the face of global disaster, the systems forged over centuries thrive against public outcry.
​
As organizations beyond borders, multinational conglomerates abide by limited values beyond personal growth.
Subsidiaries
Fossil fuel companies launch subsidiaries in order to skirt border policies and international legislation.
Origin
The following is the same map of subsidiaries and parent companies matched to their countries of origin.
Lines in the Sea
The below diagram maps the well drilling company's country of origin to the EEZ territory the well is located.
Who are these lines for?
If multinational organisations don't need to abide by the boundaries of these lines, then who are they for?
Windocracy
The move to renewables is following the blueprint of the fossil fuel industry. The legacy system continues many of the problems of the capitalocene.
Resources and Power
As part of the Democratic Energy movement, we believe that natural resources belong to everyone.
​
With fossil fuel, the excuse for profit through exploitation could be extraction, process, transportation...
​
But with renewable energy, there is no processing. There is no physical good to charge for. No one owns the wind.
Symbols
HAWTs have become our signal of renewable energy continuing the corporate, political and societal domination of multinational conglomorates

WE LIVE IN CORPORATOCRACIES
Energy is not the only sector dominated by capitalist reign. Possibly the clearest example of corporate authority states are online spaces. As multinationals, there are limited consistent values or rules these companies need to abide by.
​
We talk, shop, learn, play, explore online.
In the digital age, we live in spaces that we have no say in.
We aim to channel the digital age's distribution and decentralization powers to upend the energy industry, unrestricting the ownership of resources.
