China sold 11 million electric vehicles in one year, leaving less room for the oil it used to buy from Venezuela But there is a basic question lurking behind the headlines. Who will actually need that oil in the years ahead? For years, China has been one of Venezuela’s

More than half of the world’s new electric cars are now plugging into Chinese sockets instead of lining up at gas stations. By 2024, it is estimated that China’s EV sales were growing about 40% year on year, even as some Western markets stumbled.

News article that reads: Ottawa plans to add 8,000 new electric vehicle charging ports in Canada

We are making it easier for Canadian drivers to charge their EVs by building a national charging network.

No matter where you are in Canada, charging your car should be as simple as filling your gas tank.

Carney speaks to Trump after U.S. president erupts over Gordie Howe bridge | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke to his U.S. counterpart early Tuesday morning about the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which Donald Trump has threatened to block. Carney reportedly explain...

Carney "explained to Trump that Canada paid for the Windsor-Detroit crossing and that Michigan owns part of it."

In fact, Canada literally paid $4B for the entire bridge but gave Michigan 1/2 of the ownership interest for free. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The Greatest Invention is…. Day One is a great journaling service. And every so often it has a good prompt (via the JetPack app) to help you get started. I have no problem with journaling. But sometimes, the prompts are …

The transistor or the Internet, which one is the greater invention of your life? Good question, and the answer should be obvious based on when you were born. Or is that obvious?

CBC Gem crashes due to Canadians using it

Mr. Coffey I hate writing these articles, because what the hell do I know what goes on behind closed doors? Any kind of speculation on my part is farcical, so why bother? Well, it's the main story during a perio...

I hate writing these, because no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Anyway, all about Mr. Coffey.

There’s a simple direct way to solve this issue. The President of Hockey Operations issues a statement clarifying the situation. Theoretically, he's speaking for the owner.

If this situation festers much longer, the organization enters early dysfunction mode, a la the Vancouver Canucks.

More capacity isn’t the issue. Utilization is. #China is using its coal plants less. Newer plants are more efficient, emissions remain problematic.

Trump says Gordie Howe bridge won't open without Canadian concessions Canada has footed the entire cost of the $5.7-billion Gordie Howe bridge construction project, aiming to recover costs through toll collections.

Yet another example of an out-of-control President sacrificing the American economy and blocking good infrastructure.

It's also a test for Michigan Republicans: will they stand up for what's right, even when it means breaking with Trump?

China launches world’s largest fleet of autonomous electric mining trucks - electrive.com China has deployed 100 battery-electric, driverless mining trucks at a coal mine in Inner Mongolia. Developed by XCMG and operated by Huaneng, the fleet marks

Yes it is.

China sent 30 of these rigs to Zambia for copper mining. Begs the question, could the same deal be done with #Canadian Mining Companies.

These are autonomous rigs. Maybe there’s a technology deal to be negotiated?

#Alberta could use them for its coal mine!

The contract for the bridge is between Michigan and Canada.

If, ‘we’ don’t want to move, a fire needs to be lit, under the #ABBDP. Their messaging and story telling is woeful!

I arrived here Nov 21 1976! Seriously considering a move, post 2027. Nova Scotia, looks like #Alberta did, in '76!

Quebec, Nova Scotia Newfoundland are the energy superpowers.

400km Hydrogen Pipeline With No Users Will Raise Germany’s Electricity Prices - CleanTechnica Germany finished a 400km hydrogen pipeline with no suppliers or customers. The costs will persist for decades and raise electricity prices.

Opinion: Separatism isn’t treason. Helping Trump take over Canada? That’s another matter In this context, the United States must be considered a hostile power

Every mentally stable, sensible, critical thinking caoable Albertan, who is a concerned citizen about the consequences of the UCP separation agenda should read this. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Btw, after a Russia-backed insurgency separated parts of Donbas from Ukraine in 2014, an estimated 20-50% of residents left and moved to other parts of Ukraine. I.e. mass emigration did follow when marginal, unpopular separatists were used by an aggressive neighbour to carve up the country.

Dear critics of Lindsey Vonn: Kindly shut up and go back to your couch.

Grit isn't defined by the result—it’s revealed by the effort. Resilience isn't seen in a fall—it’s shown in the resolve to bounce back.

Success is more than the finish. It's the distance traveled to the start.

Price is one of the biggest drivers of EV adoption.

For every $1,000, EV demand moves by about 11.5% nationally.

Canada’s EV Policy Shift Is About Credits, Not Mandates - CleanTechnica Canada’s EV transition is being driven by emissions math, credit trading, and trade policy, not mandates, with major implications for legacy automakers.

There’s some arithmetic here. Worth investing a few minutes to understand how the GoC #EV strategy will work. Work equals creating a clean er fleet of lower cost vehicles!

EVs promised cleaner air. Satellites say it’s finally happening. Satellite data shows California neighborhoods with more EVs are already seeing measurable drops in air pollution.

New satellite data shows that #EVs reduce harmful air-traffic related pollution. 🚗💨

For every 200 EVs added in a neighborhood, nitrogen dioxide fell by about 1.1%.

“EVs don’t just cut carbon over time, they also improve local air quality right now.”

This is so, so good

“This is hugely important for the Canadian economy. This is hugely important for Canadians’ sovereignty . . . The Pathways project will be, by far and away, Canada’s biggest emissions-reduction success story.”

$Bs of taxpayer $ to reduce 12m tonnes/yr. Zero chance this pipeline gets built!

Alberta's oilpatch cut 10,000 jobs last year — even as production soared The province produced about 122 million barrels of oil in 2011. Last year, Alberta produced nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil by November.

"Job creators"?

"Alberta’s oil and gas industry cut about 10,000 jobs last year, but economists say something surprising about the loss — it may not be a terrible thing.

Even with fewer people, the oilpatch is producing close to seven times more oil and gas .."

Nenshi’s NDP On Track For Disaster Time To Treat This Like The Crisis It Is

What does the ABNDP stand for? Why does the party exist? What’s its purpose? When does it plan on articulating it, clearly and simply, so #Alberta ns understand it?

But, you know, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals killed Alberta's oil industry.

In Canada, #wind and #solar costs have fallen by about half in 10 years. 🤯
