If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Ahahahaha 🤣 Elizabeth May explaining the tanker ban “especially to the attention of slow learners; Andrew Sheer, Danielle Smith, take note.”

100% We have to stop burning stuff. We already know how to do it with wind, sun, and batteries. Anything else is just, well, smoke. Lots of smoke. No mirrors.

I highly recommend this read from @billmckibben.bsky.social Clean, super-cheap, ag-friendly, oiligarch-free, low resource energy is really exciting. Hey, MB Hydro! Read this before building your $3B LNG burning backup plant. app.thestorygraph.com/books/d669e5... #EndFossilFuels

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Profits before people. Making illness an asset to keep shareholder values high.

Also eating away at Canada's pipeline dreams. Oil and LNG, especially tar sand oil, is going to not have the profit in it to justify a long term capital cost of billions of dollars. #EndFossilFuels

Connecting some dots here... - 80+ countries call for a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels. - Many of which are building (Chinese-made) solar capacity. - Which is rapidly dropping in price and improving in efficiency. - Rendering our expensive oil a financial loser. #EndFossilFuels #NoMorePipelines

Re-upping this 🧵 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval. NOTE: Downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson. Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... 👇

Fossil fuels are a sunset industry. Investing public money in Oil & Gas infrastructure — e.g., pipelines — is economic madness. Don’t let greenwashing by the fossil fuel cartel convince you otherwise. #FossilFuelPhaseout www.carbonbrief.org/iea-fossil-f....

Electrification could now reach 75% of all energy demand, as the road-transport and heating sectors rapidly electrify 🔥🚗 These two sectors account for 50% of global energy use and are now ready to switch from fossil molecules to clean electrons. https://loom.ly/BwyhReA

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

As someone who lives in rural MB, but grew up in Winnipeg (small and not very industrial), it has become increasingly obvious to me how dirty the city's air is. You can seen the brownish cloud hanging over it. Slashing taxes, killing healthcare, to enrich oiligarchs is killing us. #EndFossilFuels

If you want expensive power a decade from now (that never arrives on budget), by all means choose nuclear. But if you want cheap power as soon as next year, choose wind, solar and storage. The economics are straightforward. #EnergyTransition www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Watching Carney's APEC CEO Summit talking about how Canada would vastly increase (more than doubling) our LNG exports by 2040 was distressing. The costs of fossil fuel damage to climate and health are increasing. Ignoring that is bad economics. #EndFossilFuels #FossilFools #LNGisNotClean

A bonehead move by our govt. BC has got it right, passing legislation to limit the waste of valuable clean energy on environmentally disastrous data centres. We will need our limited hydro capacity to electrify the economy, not to subsidize Amazon, Meta and X. #MbPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We can find suitable land with sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow plants, wait years to harvest the biomass and burn it for energy, hope to capture the CO₂ with carbon capture and storage technology, and find a suitable spot to bury the CO₂ permanently. OR we can use solar panels.

We are likely facing growing mental health problems due to property loss, evacuations, rising food costs, and general existential crises too. Saying we can't afford to clean up our act is indefensible. #EndFossilFuels #FossilFools

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

📢 Behind Europe’s fossil gas addiction communities across the Atlantic are paying the price. The US is already the EU’s biggest LNG supplier – and imports are set to triple under the new US-EU trade deal. At what cost? 1/3👇🧵

1/3 Last week at PROC, profs lined up to support the "1 candidate/OA" proposal. What caught our attention was that they are not proposing 1 candidate/per OA/per riding. To get a better grasp on why they are so interested in this change we took a look at the 2025 election returns...

I'd argue there is no "economic advantage" in a) contributing to planet destroying emissions, b) giving away billions in subsidies to a planet-destroying product, and c) investing in selling an end-of-life product. There is no economy without a sustainable environment. #EndFossilFuels

@aradwanski.bsky.social preview of Carney’s likely climate strategy confirms that Canada is, yet again, refusing to deal with the oil and gas sector, which generates around 1/3 of Canada’s emissions. Carney is gambling w Canada's economic future & he should know better. 🧵

"World oil supply will rise more rapidly than previously expected this year & a surplus could expand in 2026" But by all means let's gamble on new oil pipelines in a world with a rapidly expanding oil glut. New pipelines are economic madness. #EndFossilFuels www.theglobeandmail.com/business/ind...

The Minister is concerned about energy sector jobs? He should laser focus on moving the unemployed workers into the renewable energy sector: wind, solar, geothermal. No more subsidies for a doomed fossil fuel industry & its dirty, planet-killing products. #EnergyTransition www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“That production gap – the difference between the cuts required to keep emissions in check and planned production – is even bigger than two years ago,” reports The Canadian Press. Yet our leaders keep approving new fossil fuel projects. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/22/n...

Manitoba's future rests upon building out the green economy based on comprehensive electrification and rapid development of renewables. Investing in fossil fuels - like pipelines to Churchill - will condemn Manitoba to being an economic backwater. #MbPoli www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...
