In Episode 75 [14] of the CounterVortex podcast [15], Bill Weinberg examines distorted reportage on the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline [24] by Russian hackers. The disaster illustrates the urgent need for a crash conversion from fossil fuels—but also from digital technology. Signs of hope are seen in the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline [17], the recent indigenous-led protests against the Line 3 Pipeline [18] in Minnesota, and the gas bill strike [19] launched by Brooklyn residents to oppose the North Brooklyn Pipeline [20] that would cut through their neighborhoods.
