Very much enjoyed chatting with @climateatlantic.bsky.social about our exciting work at @renewallns.bsky.social and the 20 years of advocacy that got us here. #halisky #novascotia

Clean energy works best when it’s shared… with renters, families, and small businesses as well as homeowners. It creates savings, stability, and stronger communities for everyone in Nova Scotia. #PositiveChange #ClimateOptimism #SustainableCanada #ClimateActionNow #renewableenergy #NovaScotia

My first Podcast. NBD Lots of reasons for climate optimism right here in our backyard.

What an incredible human being. She is my hero. Jane Goodall Apr 3, 1934 ~ Oct 1, 2025

I'm glad that @christianonre.bsky.social increasingly includes nuclear in his analysis, if only to show that adding nuclear is really more expensive than a system running completely (100%) on renewables.

New podcast: “Dan Roscoe - harnessing our NS winds” by The Cautious Climate Optimist, where I chat with Dan Roscoe of Roswall Dev. to talk all things wind and wind turbines. www.climatestoriesatlantic.ca/podcast/dan-... @#LCC @djroscoe.bsky.social

Very cool. These would look great in Halifax.

Just dropped: @financialtimes.com excellent special report on electrification. I told them: “Overhauling the world’s energy system from fossil fuels is less daunting with electrification's efficiency gains—making the energy transition outlook more optimistic than it seems."

I can hear the global sigh of relief

Clean Energy is dominating in a big way. It is very clear that traditional fuels can’t scale 10x to meet this moment. I think clean technologies we will solve electricity poverty globally with solar + batteries by 2035. But our industry is being run by folks that are too risk averse.

No surprises on your bill. Renewall locks in stable rates with clean, local energy you can trust for years. Coming in 2026. Join the waitlist. Linktree in bio. #PositiveChange #ClimateOptimism #SustainableCanada #ClimateActionNow #NovaScotia

A good day for a reminder that Nova Scotians now have a choice when it comes to electricity providers. #halisky #novascotia

Great reporting as always from @dartjenhen.bsky.social on NS Power Rate hikes.

Allnovascotia website seemed unaccessible temporarily (likely due to high volume) when they posted news of NSPI's pending rate hike application this morning. They are reporting 4.1% in 2026, 4.1% in 2027. Details have not been filed yet

Everything electric is better…

“This will unleash human flourishing” Well said sir. Coming soon to an everywhere near you. #climateoptimism #energysky

Numerous indicators suggest that the era of oil and gas is coming to an end. “The economics of fossil fuels are unsustainable: the price of oil is falling, LNG demand has decreased, subsidized production has created glut conditions and major industrialized regions are decarbonizing.”

"The solar panels imported into Sierra Leone in the last 12 months, if installed, would generate electricity equivalent to 61% of the total reported 2023 electricity generation" #EnergySky ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

According to SOPFEU, the 2023 #wildfire season in Quebec was its worst in more than 100 years with 713 fires — 99.9 per cent of which were caused by lightning — burning 4.3 million hectares of forest. Estimated cost exceeds $8 billion. #MeteoQC www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

🇨🇦🇺🇦 Canadian PM Mark Carney has arrived in Kyiv!

CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE WIN The Canadian men’s @RugbyCanada team defeats USA 34-20 at McMahon Stadium in front of more than 11,500 fans. A brilliant start for Canada to the Pacific Nations Cup. Canada ranked 25th going into this match. The Americans ranked 16th. Great win for 🇨🇦

It’s not just about power—it’s about where it comes from and the future it creates. With Renewall, you choose clean, local wind that cuts fossil fuels and builds a stronger, sustainable Nova Scotia. #PositiveChange #ClimateOptimism #SustainableCanada #ClimateActionNow #renewableenergy

Battery technology is advancing faster than most experts can understand, let alone people who knew a guy who had a bad experience in a Leaf ten years ago.

Meteorologist Shel Winkley told me Tuesday's temperatures were “extremely rare and extraordinary for Halifax.” While it could occur naturally, "essentially what we understand from this (data) is that those temperatures would be almost virtually impossible without an influence of climate change."

Wednesday, Aug. 13 | 9:15 p.m. - The Susies Lake wildfire is still 15 hectares and is now being held.  HRFE personnel will remain at the site to monitor overnight conditions. There is still no threat to residents or structures. Details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/wi...

The fire response today was excellent. That should be acknowledged. The professionals obviously understand the potential for true disaster.

Flames visible behind Kent. Helicopter in the sky nearby. Police not letting people into Bayers Lake / Chain Lake.

The Halifax Forum was not designed to have ice in it when it’s 30C out.

The future is 100% electric.

Drought, extreme heat, wildfires across Canada, orders to conserve water, in Nova Scotia a provincial order to stay out of the woods or face a $25,000 fine, and missing in all the messaging is any mention of the elephant in the broiling land: THE CLIMATE CRISIS caused by our burning FOSSIL FUELS.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵 www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

We ranked the provinces and tried really hard not to put New Brunswick last

Motherfucking wind farms…

Cities are leading on climate—but Nova Scotia is going even further. We’re phasing out coal by 2030 and cleaning up our grid—powered by clean energy, and by choice. #PositiveChange #ClimateOptimism #SustainableCanada #ClimateActionNow #renewableenergy #NovaScotia
