REALLY wild graphic buried in the back of this paper examining why CCS is so slow The light bars are what was planned for CCS, and the dark bars are **what actually became operational** Close to a 100% failure rate, for most applications (!!!!!!) subscriber.politicopro.com/eenews/f/een...

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

I can confirm that Canada's backsliding on #climate policy is being noticed here at #cop30 'Carney wants to boost resource development. Canada's climate legacy hangs in the balance' @inayatsingh.com www.cbc.ca/news/science...

💥 BREAKING: 4 young Canadians just launched a legal challenge to protect the Canada Pension Plan. They argue Canada’s $700bn pension fund is failing to manage #climaterisk while investing billions in #fossilfuels – putting our pension savings & the planet in danger. #cdnpoli

The fact that it’s still blaming the EV mandate (among other things), after Carney obligingly suspended it only for the companies to start moving production to the U.S. anyway, is almost self parody.

Not a snowball's chance in hell we would ever let this happen. #abpoli #onpoli Danielle Smith says she's "trying to figure out if we could get #oil to Thunder Bay & use #GreatLakes maximum tankers to get to a port in Quebec and loaded for overseas" #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I'm genuinely flummoxed as to how anyone is talking about a "grand bargain" while the Alberta government and the oil industry is actively opposed to the federal carbon price on industrial emissions. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Meanwhile, Enbridge’s CEO just called again (during a speech in Toronto) for industrial pricing to end, which is another reminder that the oil and gas industry is not serious about carbon capture, and Carney will need to play hardball if he is.

I'm baffled as to why @cnn.com 's Kevin Liptak parsed & edited Trump's incoherent ramblings to make them seem like an intentional speech. Trump delivered an incomprehensible off the cuff word salad. The content was nonsense. The context: utter incompetence. #unga edition.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p...

I think the US just witnessed that moment where suddenly the water comes up over the gunwales. Major networks pulling shows that are critical of the administration is a point that's hard to recover from in dictatorships.

The new projects announced by @mark-carney.bsky.social show that Canada is foolishly doubling down on its petrostate status. THREAD

Yes. LNG Canada 2 already had federal approval. The project only lacks a final investment decision (FID) from the consortium because lenders/ investors are rightly wary project economics. Is @mark-carney.bsky.social about to give private companies billions in new, public #fossilfuel subsidies?

@mark-carney.bsky.social failing absolutely on the #EV file. They are pausing/reviewing the EV mandate, in spite of strong evidence EV sales are highly supply-constrained (dealerships in most provinces don't want to sell EVs to Canadians). #cdnpoli 1/5 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Another day, another pitch to cover a report about how to provide energy for AI data centers with zero mention of carbon. The whole energy/tech/media complex has completely thrown climate under the bus without a second thought in order to chase the shiny object of AI. 🤮

Grateful to see widespread national media coverage of our new report on #fossilfuel conflicted pension directors yesterday! '#Climate advocates say #oil and #gas representation on pension fund boards could be problematic' @shiftaction.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

New research finds limiting oil & gas development in Canada won’t harm the sector—in fact it could protect its value. With 🌎 oil & gas demand heading towards a permanent decline, 🇨🇦 should limit expansion to ⬇️ economic risks. Report ➡️ www.iisd.org/publications...

Remember a couple months ago, the feds said they replaced a nearly $20 billion loan from banks with a gov loan to lower interest payments on Trans Mountain? Turns out, almost $15 billion of that new "loan" wasn't a loan at all and won't be paid back. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/09/n...

Doug Ford has applied a 25% tax on all electricity exported to Michigan, Minnesota and New York in response to U.S. President Trump’s tariffs. Here's what you need to know — including what it means for Ontario's emissions. via @fatimabsyed.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/ontario-us-e...

Waiting (but not holding my breath) for Canada to restrict #oil & #gas exports to the U.S. in response to tariffs. This would have a huge impact. Seems like this industry might try to throw the rest of the Canadian economy under the bus to protect its short-term profits, however. #abpoli #cdnpoli

@fatimabsyed.bsky.social took stock of the deluge of energy announcements over the past month and half, to make sense of what's being promised and what it really means for Ontario: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-elec...

Today Shift released its annual Canadian Pension Climate Report Card, an independent benchmark for evaluating the quality, depth and credibility of climate policies for 11 of Canada’s largest pension managers, collectively managing $2.4 trillion in retirement savings.

Great coverage of our new Canadian Pension Climate Report Card - released today. Pensions need to think long term as their funds require a stable #climate to fulfil their mandates. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

I hope this adds some clarity as to why so many of us have been so pushy about always highlighting the connections between fossil fuels and the disasters they intensify and multiply. Complete separation of cause from consequence only helps fossil fuel companies and authoritarians.

If there's one thing that'll fix high prices, it's deepening reliance on the thing that's causing high prices

Last week, the 🇨🇦 gov’t issued CAD 20 bn in financing for the #TransMountainPipeline to replace private loans. Cost overruns on the TMX pipeline expansion show how expensive building fossil fuel infrastructure is, with the project operating at a loss. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/n...

Three guesses: who funded all the campaigns against the Canadian Climate Plan? First two don’t count. #OilAndGas www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Batteries start playing a huge role in some energy systems around the world. Look at California - not long ago you wouldn’t even be able to see the contribution from batteries. Few expected batteries to ever be able to compete. Today batteries can provide more than 20% of peak load in California.

#Heatpumps work. 3 years ago we ripped out our #gas furnace from our 115 year old brick house in Toronto, Canada & installed a centrally ducted cold-climate heat pump (no backup) & cancelled our gas service. Its far more comfortable, cheaper to run, and nearly carbon free. Happy to answer questions.

Doug Ford says Canada should flip the light switch off if President Donald Trump follows through on tariff threats. How will that impact the electricity grid Canada and the U.S. have shared for more than a century? @fatimabsyed.bsky.social explains: thenarwhal.ca/canada-us-el...

To ponder, for ~25 years China has worked on a plan for energy dominance in plain sight, not hiding anything, right down to the global supply chain pieces. When the world wakes up to this, the Biden admin did its best to catch up, but the current admin has gone in full reverse 🤷‍♀️

My comments to CBC News on anti-ESG pressure pushing financial institutions away from #netzero 1/3 "It's not a real political movement of citizens," says Adam Scott, executive director of Shift: Action, a Canadian advocacy group focused on climate risks to pension funds. www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Huge. 'China's refined #oil consumption peaked in 2023 at 399 million metric tons (7.98 million barrels per day) and is expected to fall 1.3% to 394 million tons in 2024' - 'By 2035, China's overall refined products consumption is expected to fall by 25-40%' #cdnpoli www.reuters.com/world/china/...
