Spain is still in court, internationally, more than 10 years after they tried to withdraw their renewable energy policies because of fiscal measures in Spain. Renewable energy developers made claims in excess of €8 billion under the Energy Charter Treaty. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20... 4/4
The renewables moratorium was economic sabotage by the Alberta government who believe an investment in renewable energy precludes making investments in traditional oil and gas assets. They don't understand the "yes, and" scenario in energy. It was 100% ideology-based damage to a thriving sector. 3/
Woo wee! I thought Alberta renewable power generators wouldn't trouble themselves with litigation against the Alberta government for the renewables moratorium plus associated outcomes. This is a huge thing for ATCO. Yes! Make it so! 1/
such a meaningless waste
Ooof I knew it was serious when I left the house but walking home I passed so much wind damage:
-trees down
-fallen limbs squishing parked cars
-neighborhoods without power
-debris everywhere
Which I guess makes sense, we were getting gusts as strong as an F0 tornado, but for hours
Polymarkets seem bad but also the ultimate version of rampant encouragement to arbitrage everything. Find something neat on someone's stoop or at a thrift store? You should resell it online for more! Score tickets to a hot show? Resell them online! Figured out how to do something? Sell a course!
The woodpeckers have become frequent visitors to my balcony. Both male and female.
Carney fans in my comments, every single time: "Poilievre is worse, therefore whatever Carney does is ok with me."
regular reminder that people who live in republican governed states still deserve human fuckin rights
Update: The US has now also invented getting domed by your own airdropped treats

That's some nice A horizon!
I’m so tired of being expected to concede to the apathy and antisocial behavior of others.
“Well, nobody else is wearing a mask.”
“Everybody else is at least trying AI.”
“Microsoft is just everywhere.”
Okay, and? Do you or do you not want to at least TRY to be better?
the best time to get off oil was 50 years ago, and the next best time is today...
We already have a better version of the system Altman’s proposing. It’s called “random people’s how-to videos on YouTube.”
What the fuck.
We spent millions in 2012 specifically to make the transmission network more robust FOR wind and solar.
But this is all just rules. Rules by bigots and fascists.
The Alberta Advantage™️
Precisely!
I need to figure out which bar it is to make fun of them or something.
But that would require being outside at 2 am.
Oh come on.
These losers deserve to deal with the consequences of their actions.
Particularly the societal shunning, mockery and reputational damage.
these men are straight up psychos you can see them getting all activated just having to hear the words LGBTQ, prison abolition, Indigenous, Black civil rights read back at them
One of the advertised selling points for balcony solar is it will help poor people lower their high electricity bills if they can afford the kit. Most can’t afford it outright; low income programs won’t include as a measure without verifiable savings. Yet there is no data on balcony solar at scale.
Doomscrolling over? In this economy?
Steps 1 and 2 of purse strap mending are done.
Tomorrow I'll try adding another layer of thread to hold everything together, but it's feeling pretty solid already. Phew.
I think about this all the time.
holy yikes batman!
SO FRUSTRATING!
I just spent a whole week resting because I had energy last week and did too much.
do we trust the provincial government not to abuse this process to smear the opposition leader? it certainly provides them with a lot of opportunity to do so
