I have lost track of all the scandal's this government has faced, I think the Ethics Commissioner still has a ruling in the works set to come out soon. How an opposition can't take down a government with this much baggage just shows how sad politics in Canada is right now.

Fox News getting sued now over the voting machine thing. I hadn't heard the 'accusations' until now, the Venezuelans did it, lol.
QuoteThe three Venezuelan co-founders formed Smartmatic after the 2000 U.S. presidential election to resolve the issue of hanging chads -- a bit of the ballot that isn’t punched out all the way -- by replacing paper ballots with digital alternatives. The conspiracy contrived by Giuliani and Powell claimed that Dominion installed Smartmatic software on its voting machines across the country, and that Smartmatic maintains allegiances to Venezuela’s socialist leaders, including the late former President Hugo Chavez, according to the lawsuit.

Love to see this. That Epoch Times is INSANE! I can't believe they allow that to just go out through regular mail. It has to be considered hate speech and conspiracy rhetoric. Totally bonkers.
I've never heard of it, is it that offensive?

Ran to a safe space, gotcha.
I actually took a break from all social media, not just here, it was voluntary. Thought maybe that since Biden was in office now we wouldn't have to discuss Trump anymore.

No that doesn't sound like what I said. More likely I made a comment about the science being uncertain about predictions based on climate change models and talked about the need to consider the current economic impact regarding the oil and has industry.
It's all predictions based on models, it's all we have to work with 30 years out and that applies to predictions about how much energy will come from what sources. The only thing that is a fact, is that we will have to find a way to produce 22 TW of energy to replace fossil fuels if you want to get to net zero by 2050. There is no 'context' as Mark puts it.

I seem to recall that in Sweden, when they tested hydrogen tanks but for cold weather, they installed a low-output electric heater on the outside of the tank(s) to keep the contents from gelling.
Sounds reasonable, diesel used to gel in the lines too before they came out with a winter version, not a new problem and I'm sure they will find a fix, just don't be the first in line to get one when they come out

Hey you're still alive! Got any more Trump support to share with us all?
I needed a break from this echo chamber it was starting to mirror the shitshow that is the USA.
I said Biden would win and he's going to be even worse for Canada than Trump was. Not a bad thing though, we need to expand our trading partners, hello CANZUK!

I am not sure that the Canadian association of petroleum producers is an unbiased source... in fact they are known to be quite biased, and I say that as someone who worked in the oil and gas industry for 14 years and is a big supporter of continued support of the sector.
Do the math, the numbers are same no matter which site you get them from

DETROIT - In about three years, Navistar plans to start selling low-emission hydrogen-powered heavy trucks under a partnership with General Motors and a small distribution company called OneH2.
The venture announced Wednesday is an early commercial deployment of the technology in U.S. long-haul trucking. Navistar hopes it will start widespread use of hydrogen-electric trucks, which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions that come from burning diesel fuel.
GM will provide fuel cell “power cubes” to Navistar, while OneH2 will set up fueling stations either by trucking hydrogen to terminals or through small hydrogen generation units, the companies said in a statement.

next... farm machinery.
I believe the future is in HFC's but they still don't work when it's too hot or too cold (-30 forget it) and you better not get a spark where it don't belong, remember the Hindemburg!!!!

Until we get a proper roadmap, Net Zero is a goal without a plan - CapX
A university consortium of engineers has generated a document entitled ‘Absolute Zero’, describing in very high-level terms what an actually zero emissions UK would look like in 2050, and a very high-level description of what is needed. The changes are so draconian, that no Parliament or electorate would vote for it as a way of stopping climate change 20-50 years ahead. ‘Absolute Zero’ is not a roadmap, as no specific projects are described, only generic requirements such as eliminating aviation and international shipping as a part of the UK’s contribution by 2050.
Take batteries. It is estimated that current battery manufacturing capabilities will need to be in the order of 500-700 times bigger than now to support an all-electric global transport system. The materials needed just to allow the UK to transition to all electric transport involve amounts of materials equal to 200% the annual global production of cobalt, 75% of lithium carbonate, 100% of neodymium and 50% of copper. Scaling by a factor of 50 for the world transport, and you see what is now a showstopper. The materials demands just for batteries are beyond known reserves. Would one be prepared to dredge the ocean floor at very large scale for some of the material? Should securing the reserves not be a first priority?
At the end of their life these batteries, and the wind and solar power generators, produce more tonnes of hazardous waste per unit of electricity produced than a decommissioned nuclear power plant. How is this factored into the grand plan? Should this problem not be confronted now, and a circular economy developed so that materials are reused as far as possible? Is it economic or not to recycle wind turbine blades?
My own attempt in 2008 to raise research funds to begin to construct such a roadmap to 2050 was rejected by my academic peers as wishful thinking and way over my head in complexity: I think this remains the case today, over a quarter of the way now from 2008 to 2050.

I sincerely hope you can give a legitimate source for this information. One that doesn't run along the same lines as the 'Covid is a hoax' and 'anti-vax movements.'
Our Energy Needs: World Energy Consumption & Demand | CAPP
- By 2040, renewable energy sources are expected to supply 8% of total global energy demand
That still leaves 22 TW to be replaced. You can factor in hydro and hydrogen but the reality is that our current technology won't get us there. We are going to have to reduce our consumption to about 1/10 of what we use today to make this a reality. That would put us on about the same level as most third world countries. I won't be around come 2050 but I sure feel sorry for those of you who will.

Of course key information from the article isn't included in what's just a feeble attempt to make NM look like a victim of the dreaded Democratic POTUS whose campaign promises included the very thing he wound up doing after taking office. None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who's paid attention since Biden won the nomination. And IIRC, Biden won 55% of the electorate back in November.
Good on the new administration for not wanting federal lands to be ruined; let these oil companies ruin Texas instead. It seems like nobody in the Lone Star State, at least within the ranks of the GOP, seems to give a **** about the future, anyway.
FWIW, David Blackmon is nothing more than an oil and gas cheerleader if his column history and bio info are any indication. See his most recent article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2021/01/28/biden-opens-new-fronts-in-his-war-on-us-oil-and-gas/?sh=2af2a4ea7d9b
You are right, they don't need the tax revenue for hospitals and free education.

New Mexico Officials Taken Aback By Biden Assault On Oil And Gas
David Blackmon
Senior Contributor
Energy[T]he reality is that [New Mexico’s Democratic Governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham] and her administration can strive to “diversify” the state’s energy portfolio all they want, but the state will still lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year should the Biden administration succeed in shutting down her state’s oil and gas business.
To be clear: Neither the state nor the federal government collects any royalties on solar installations or wind farms. There is no severance tax to be collected from those alternative forms of energy with which to fund the state’s schools or hospitals, or to sustain the free in-state college tuition program Lujan herself established in 2019 thanks to New Mexico’s new Permian/Delaware Basin windfall.
[…]
These are just some of the actual potential costs of the Biden assault on the New Mexico oil industry. They are the things that happen in the real world, as opposed to the fantasies pushed by many politicians.
[…]
Elections have consequences. For New Mexico, the consequences of the 2020 election are only now starting to be understood.

In order to get to zero emissions by 2050, which is 10, 568 days from now, you need to replace 22 TW of energy generating capacity or 2.1 GW/day from now until 2050:
• One 2.1 gigawatt (GW, 109 watts) nuclear power plant each and every day until 2050, OR
• 3000 two-megawatt (MW, 106 watts) wind turbines each and every day until 2050 plus a 2.1 GW nuclear power plant every day and a half until 2050, assuming there’s not one turbine failure for any reason, OR
• 96 square miles (250 square kilometres) of solar panels each and every day until 2050 plus a 2.1 GW nuclear power plant every day and a half until 2050, assuming not one of the panels fails or is destroyed by hail or wind.
I sincerely hope that everyone can see that any of those alternatives are not just impossible. They are pie-in-the-sky, flying unicorns, bull-goose looney impossible.

QuoteEXCLUSIVE: A gunshot was fired through a window of a Republican National Committee office in Mohave County, Arizona during a Trump Victory event Thursday night, GOP officials tell Fox News.
An RNC official told Fox News that at around 7:00 p.m., a group of five GOP volunteers were gathered in the Mohave County Republican Office in BullHead City, Ariz., to host an online “MAGA Meet Up” --an online tool the campaign uses to talk with supporters-- when a gunshot shattered a window near the front door.
