Horrible budget. It was always going to pass though. Neither the Dippers nor Cons have the stomach for an election right now - hence the line up of volunteers on both sides to abstain. May read the room right and got Carney on the record. Next election that will get traction when he fails. Viva!

A lot of things to like about this Welsh effort. I like the Welsh 10 and their distribution is first class. Counter ruck is killing them. Viva!

China's diesel trucks are shifting to electric. That could change global LNG and diesel demand China is replacing its diesel trucks with electric models faster than expected, potentially reshaping global fuel demand and the future of heavy transport. In 2020, nearly all new trucks in China ran...

Last week I wrote a long piece on how oil demand destruction is likely higher than the consensus and I explained why that is likely. Electrification of trucking in China was a big reason.

I wrote the piece because there was no coverage of the issue.

Well good news! Now there is.

Renewable energy is cheaper and healthier – so why isn’t it replacing fossil fuels faster? Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.

Dear PM Carney

Solar & wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less expensive today than fossil fuels at utility scale, and less harmful to people’s health

Why two NDP MPs abstained from the federal budget vote, and what comes next | CBC Radio Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget was passed on Monday in the House of Commons by a narrow vote. Interim NDP Leader Don Davies explains why they couldn't back the budget, and what he says the ...

The Dippers were in a tight spot, but so for that matter were the Cons (who had a couple of MP's ready to bail if it came down to it). May/Greens did the smart thing and at least got Carney on the record over climate commitments. It's a recidivist Lib Party budget. Viva!

Notably there were two abstentions from the NDP. Not that that means anything. Just saying. Viva!

All this "comes on the heels of last week’s federal budget, which doubles down on subsidies for liquefied natural gas, back-tracking on Canada’s commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies."

Reminder: in the election, Carney promised to end fossil fuel subsidies.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.

100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.

That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
