Spoiler for an upcoming piece. On average, the income of men aged 65+ in Canada is higher than that of their 25-34-year-old counterparts.

poster has a good point, but what stands out to me is that a 6 hour battery is better ELCC then a gas CT, and a 10 hour battery is rated higher than a dual fuel CT.

extremely niche hot take: Bonbright Principles are 60 years old and dont make sense anymore without a substantive re-write. between climate change, decarbonization, non WIRES, GRID edge. the utility of Bonbright is becoming less and less.

does someone make pro Butlerian Jihad bumper stickers? .. asking for a friend.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Another auroral night. More typical green ribbons.

Question to my fellow Canadians. My (likely sheltered) feeling is that credit score isn't as much of a cultural discussion here vs US?

Anyone in grid ops? 🔌💡 I'm curious how the transmission system did with the solar storm? #energy

People want aurora pics? These were tonight

I will never forgive "the golden age of TV" for skipping over the Epic of Gilgamesh. You had a miniseries right there for you. It has everything you want. It would have been like Troy, Rome, 300, GoT. Because of the nature of the material you could have random episodes non linear, different director

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

but quick.. lets worry about C-59! all that bill did was make a huge amount of companies/governments/municipalities pull their targets and environmental discussion from anything in fear of possible legal concerns. it basically sent the message of "its better to say nothing"

the first line in the study: "The latest large language model from OpenAI offers safety gains, persistent risks and the illusion of understanding". quick.. better tie our entire economy to it.

“a person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than the poorest 50% emit all year” A stark visual from ‘Climate Plunder: How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster’ by @oxfaminternational.bsky.social policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/cl...

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

forget the discussions on CCS and all the fancy stuff.. this kind of stuff will make a huge difference to emissions. in this scenario you can replace virtually all fleet vehicles (inc. a lot of trucks) for large business and contractor types: electrek.co/2025/10/28/k...

To all Alberta teachers, I'm sorry you are going through this. I know you can't formally work to rule. So go with malicious compliance. Don't have time for marking? Everyone gets a 90%! Be sick for school sports. Chat GPT everything.

I will always say "always both yes". you need near term reductions from wind/solar, and nuke output later for the last push of decarbonization as the cost benefits of wind/solar start to run up against total variable renewable penetration limits.

you'll see some junk AI "showing" an airline going over the top of a hurricane (lol) but this is the truth, besides specialized hurricane hunting aircraft no one is going close.

Funny thing about airships, they also make sense for Canada's isolated northern communities if ice road access continues to deteriorate. So again, sometimes zippy comments could use some research. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

No slag to this reporter, but if you are involved in energy and energy transition in Canada and profess to be an "expert" while slagging nuclear? We're gonna throw hands. Wind? solar? storage? Yes, ALL please! But we will need every tool we can, and 60s style nuclear scaremongering ain't it.

32. Heatpumps are better for heating homes than hydrogen, but in seasonal climates like northern Europe will exacerbate the seasonal demand and supply mismatch for solar. We need to build wind and probably nuclear as well.

The #1 thing you can do to save money on your heating bill is buy a radiative heating dish. You will be shocked how warmer you feel. Central heating systems heat air not people, and rooms you aren't in. You can keep your house much cooler and just heat where you need and feel it.

For all those regulatory people in #energysky in response to a request for sources from an intervenor. I got "this information can be found on the world wide web."... What year is it? 🔌💡 #energy

1/ Carney is doubling down on fossil fuels. Among the select few infrastructure projects being fast tracked by Carney gov’t is more LNG in Kitimat. Some LNG is more carbon intensive than COAL (yes this data is from the US). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

im sympathetic to the raw increase, when I dug into it more.. this is the first increase in 4 years. Want to guess what cumulative inflation is between 2021-2025? 19.56%.

Same.

Going to be interesting in the future when, maybe, the United States decides to adopt democracy, I know crazy idea. But if we look at other former dictator run states like Portugal or Spain it seems possible that one day they could have free votes and rights. Have to have hope for the future.

It's there's one tattered playbook they all passed around the provinces (except Quebec)

weird aside, why the D.R? you would think Haiti given the whole "there isnt any government" and its completely lawless part would be a benefit and its not like they are far apart?

i would be at the "anyone who even considers this needs to lose their job and/or get voted out" level

I have known loyalism and republicanism and it always amazed me in their similarities and especially justifications for murder by simply dehumanising the other side... This is a different world now. Gaza will change it forever. What we do next defines us really Thousands=big arrests Millions?

The US isn't going to have an old school 1800 civil war. It's going to have decades of "The Troubles"

It’s interesting to see the data on my “regular “ ebike commuting from an exercise perspective. And this is with the assist turned way up on my bike (thanks cancer) - you can still get a workout just fine if you try

Queue all the people complaining about pedestrians. She's wearing all white, in broad daylight, using a pedestrian corridor. But sure let's get rid of speed enforcement and increase traffic speed limits. Why do we want our kids to die to save 30 seconds?

I can only imagine the press reaction if Carney told him to go pound sand. if Trump decides to burn the relationship the economic damage would be huge. Then all of a sudden it would be "in a pique Carney and the liberals obliterated the economy. We need pragmatic leadership". It's damned if you do..

Whenever there are Canadian supreme court references it's a pleasant surprise. I admit to only knowing Wagner. And I always forget how absurdly qualified our supremes are.

Hey @mbndpcaucus.bsky.social just fyi your NZ2050 plan relies on offsets far too much. It's a shell game that doesn't actually address the issue.

"Government shouldn't pick winners and losers" goes out the window when they become one of the losers.

So supported in independence by France, now going full south seas bubble like France. Who says history isn't fun.

Really fun how we get to watch every conservative government in every country go on this journey after every election.

its more Stasi-esque. but likely without the competence.

Memorizing this

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

my hot take is that, while this is hilariously corrupt, considering all the political chaos that the USA has put South America through since the 1950s this is basically like reparations. and it should do the same for Chile, Columbia, Bolivia etc.

This is like how BYU kids do "soaking" because that's not like...real sex

Weird parallel, I helped re-draft sport organization constitutions (I'm a bit Roberts Rules dork and the 24yr old parliamentarian) and the failure to create a plausible amendment process in the US constitution is a valuable lesson. Unless org. governance is a "living document", it ends in tears
