Look around you. Do you see policies being implemented at scale? Do you see the end of investment into new fossil energy? Do you see phasing out of existing fossil infrastructure? Do you see massive renewables deployment and the lowering of demand for energy and materials?

You do not.

What does all this tell our children? It says that climate denial, racism, anti-trans, anti-vaxx, anti-Canada are all ok - do this and you too can be elevated to the "favorite child" position in the front seat of the car with Dad. 22/22

Let's not miss the other thing this signals: we will do business with hard-right racists and bigots. Smith is extreme right, a trump ally, anti-trans, anti-vaxx and has threatened to try to divide Canada if she doesn't get her way, at a time when her friend donald trump threatens to invade.. 21/22

This last point, rolling back the new greenwashing laws - has nothing to do with permitting a project, it is just an oil industry wish-list item to allow more climate disinfo.

And it is not an "agreement to agree" - they committed to do it.

Regarding industrial carbon pricing they agree to agree on it by April 1, 2026.
Google "an agreement to agree"..

Hint - in contract law this is called an "unenforceable promise". 10/22

It feeds disinfo and climate denial. Our children are watching the annual increase in forest fires, smoke, etc.

When the federal government says "we are going to build more oil & gas infrastructure" (WHETHER THEY INTEND TO OR NOT) that signals the climate is not important or urgent. 8/22

for the parties that preach about 'common sense', they don't seem great at making money, or at least not for the public.

but we HAVE to give the money away to our corporate buddies. that's the MOST IMPORTANT part. but i think we would be better off taking the same money that would've gone to direct air capture and putting it into solar, wind, batteries and having a glut of energy supply reduce demand for fossil fuel

externalities...we don't talk about those. they're someone else's problem.

that looks pretty cool. it's european too. it seems really convenient as well with the wifi connection. kind of pricey at 250USD with a 6-8 month ship date though.

i've yet to see any usb power banks that supply round dc power sockets. any examples you can share?

would 12v power out usb power banks be ones of the usb-c variety?

Seems like solar, wind and batteries are the present tbh. It'll just be more disgustingly cheap and efficient in the future.

ah yes, our maybe new pipeline to the sixth most dangerous waters on the planet (northwest bc) to export a fuel that is past its heyday.
November 26, 2025 at 11:36 PM
it's sad but true. all i hear about is pipelines...nothing about solar, batteries or wind.
