Here's a link to a list of companies that have run this scam before.

The list is long.

It's like the Alberta Government doesn't seem to care. But **** trudeau.

They'll probably flock to Arizona where the water table drops 50 ft. every year.

yeah, pumping the aquifer dry to irrigate desert, to grow hay 😂 to sell in asia, and then when the water is gone, (cause they don't want no red tape there, and there are no restrictions on doing that)

"it's been real, see ya later suckers"

The climate chain reaction that threatens the heart of the Pacific

"The salmon catch is collapsing off Japan’s northern coast, plummeting by about 70 percent in the past 15 years. The disappearance of the fish coincides with another striking development: the loss of a unique blanket of sea ice that dips far below the Arctic to reach this shore.

The twin impacts — less ice, fewer salmon — are the products of rapid warming in the Sea of Okhotsk, wedged between Siberia and Japan. The area has warmed in some places by as much as 3 degrees Celsius since preindustrial times, making it one of the fastest-warming spots in the world, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the nonprofit organization Berkeley Earth.

That increase far outstrips the global average and exceeds the limit policymakers set in Paris in 2015 when they aimed to keep Earth’s average temperature rise “well below” 2 degrees Celsius.

The rising temperatures are starting to shut down the single most dynamic sea ice factory on Earth. The intensity of ice generation in the northwestern Sea of Okhotsk exceeds that of any single place in the Arctic Ocean or Antarctica, and the sea ice reaches a lower latitude than anywhere else on the planet. Its decline has a cascade of consequences well beyond Japan as climate dominoes begin to fall.

When sea ice forms here, it expels huge amounts of salt into the frigid water below the surface, creating some of the densest ocean water on Earth. That water then sinks and travels east, carrying oxygen, iron and other key nutrients out into the northern Pacific Ocean, where marine life depends on it."

 

"For fisherman Nobuo Sugimura, 63, the changing climate is evident in his steadily diminishing catch. At home after a fishing trip on Miura’s vessel the Hokushin Maru, Sugimura brought out his logbooks and diaries, pulling records for his most recent catch in late September and for the same period seven years ago.

In 2012, Sugimura’s records show he and fellow crew members brought in between 21 and 52 metric tons of fish per day. This year, the catch one day was a meager six tons."

 

"Salmon are highly sensitive to changes in water temperature. As they swim into the Sea of Okhotsk at the start of their long migration across the Pacific, the warmer waters act as a force field, pushing them off their ancient track.

Compelled to travel faster and farther to reach cooler northern waters, the young salmon use up stores of energy when they can least afford it. If they delay their departure date, they won’t survive at all."

Children are growing up in a warmer world where they'll face more and different health problems than their parents experienced, an international report by doctors says.

With increasing diarrhea diseases, more dangerous heat waves, air pollution and increases in mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and malaria, man-made global warming is already harming public health around the world, the annual climate change and health report from the medical journal The Lancet said Wednesday.

Insurance companies dropped more than 340,000 homeowners from wildfire areas in just four years. Between 2015 and 2018, the 10 California counties with the most homes in flammable forests saw a 177 percent increase in homeowners turning to an expensive state-backed insurance program because they could not find private insurance.

In some ways, this news is not surprising. According to a recent survey of insurance actuaries (the people who calculate insurance risks and premiums based on available data), the industry ranked climate change as the top risk for 2019, beating out concerns over cyber damages, financial instability, and terrorism.

Climate change is the top risk?

Insurance companies, bunch of libtard wacko enviros.

Varcoe: Alberta seeks Ottawa's help — and money — in cleaning up abandoned wells

 

The Kenney government wants Ottawa’s help — and some money as well — to deal with the growing number of abandoned oil and gas wells in the province, while creating jobs in the process.

Cybertruck.

A truck, that can haul 14000 pounds and carry 3500 pounds, but goes zero to sixty in 2.9 seconds. Lol.

When they get the electric price down the ice vehicles will be dumped faster than Prince Andrew by the Royals.

The electric semi does not need to slow down going up mountain highways.

Because thats "job killing red tape!!!!!"

and "commie socialist environmental extremism!!! "

what a sad joke.

they'll be long gone when the costs of climate change come rolling in.

also, Alberta voter: " I have my payments on my ninety thousand dollar pickup truck and my sixty thousand dollar ski boat that I gots to have"

Researchers at Australia's Deakin University say they've managed to use common industrial polymers to create solid electrolytes, opening the door to double-density solid state lithium batteries that won't explode or catch fire if they overheat.

Here's the blueprint for shucking responsibility.

Bankruptcy for profit in Alberta's oilpatch

"At the root of the oilpatch strategy of bankruptcy for profit in Alberta is the energy regulator’s fictional accounting of ‘assets’ and ‘liabilities’ used to supposedly manage the province’s aging oil and gas infrastructure. The ‘assets’ counted by the captured regulator do not actually exist and will never be available to cover the ‘liabilities,’ which themselves are profound underestimates of the cost of reclamation."

"Decades of captured regulators have allowed hundreds of billions in unfunded environmental liabilities to accumulate in Alberta. In the meantime, Alberta’s conventional crude oil and natural gas industries have matured and are now in terminal decline: hundreds of companies are currently insolvent and have been for some time, unable to ever pay to reclaim the mess they’ve profited from."

people who run extraction industry care about one thing.... their profit.

people who think this is fine ..... what can you say. 
 

hard to get through to them.

Well... this oil company went bankrupt right before they had to close all of their wells... sticking YOU the tax Payer with the billions of dollars to clean up their mess.

Some Taxpayers: "THE ECONOMY!! GROWTH!!! JOOOORBSSS!!!" 

and most of the parts and board members and investors of the now defunct company has started up a new oil company, secured billions in tax breaks from the government (re: tax payer money) to start doing business in Alberta, and then growing the economy Aaaaand Gone...

I hope they've designed this setup for multiple  batteries so that they can be quickly disconnected and removed for charging without having down time for the entire plane while the batteries recharge.  I imagine a 1 hour flight would take around 8 hours of charging time to restore full battery strength.

probably but there are also fast chargers, that they will use.

The CEO at Harbour air is clearly a very smart man, leading the world on this.

"drastically different maintenance cost" of electric motors.

five percent of world aviation will be a very large bite out of the oil co profits, and aviation engine manufacturers.

get on board, or get left behind.
