Everything is fine up here why do you ask?
See if we can just harness the energy of the positive feedback loops we'll be able to stop them from occurring
Putting big turbines over the permafrost methane deposits to generate carbon-free energy
Ottawa needs to say that because despite its greenwashed soft-power image of endless wilderness filled with pristine trees and smiling moose, this country is built on extraction. O&G gets the biggest headlines because of Albertan pissbabies, but nearly the whole non-service economy is unsustainable exploitation: mining, fishing, metals, heavy industry, lumber. Zoom in to Vancouver Island on google maps and remember that those patchworked clearcuts used to be old growth rainforest. We have a car-dependency and carbon footprints dwarfed only by the Yanks.
Exploitation is what the country was built on since the first cod was ripped out of the Atlantic 400 years ago, and that isn't going to change. The feds have no incentive to change any of this, because doing so would mean collapsing the economy wholesale. (An inspired pivot in recent years has tethered the economy to an over-inflated real estate market - which will also never get solved for the same reason). Make sure to mention it next time someone brings up how nice it must be up here.
You're absolutely right, dwarfed is a bad word. In any case we're trash, and in all sources I could find we're up there - the Canadian Energy Regulator cites 19.6 tonnes of CO2 per capita, most of that from oil and gas and transportation.
I wonder if the $15 billion budget for the TMX pipeline could have been used for that??? :kkkanada:
Tesla says it needs motion of wheel to power batteries in new electric model.
Didn't you just describe the very good and cool tech of Regenerative Braking?
Absolutely deranged logic even just considering the billions of offshore tax evasion... but what do you expect from America's hat.
