I have long gotten off Twitter and I have found Blue sky to be much nicer. That said I still think the environment is still so toxic out there that it leaks into every site. LinkedIn is unusable now for example. I will be off all sites for a while. Detox time. Solar and batteries will keep winning

They haven't found one that works yet.

That is an interesting real world experiment. That said, maybe some bias in the places you are going to?

The silence from Americans and in particular the people we expect to have checks and balances is the most damning part of this

They can't see anything except through the lens of politics. First it was that Trudeau was trying to use this to keep himself in power. Now it is the Liberals that are doing that. Of course , regardless,the blame for Trump doing this is on Trudeau's policies.

Yes.....if it is an electric

Maginot line, north america

They can't get turbines until 2029, so this is performative. If you want power you need solar and batteries.

Finally someone else is saying this. You are either serious about AI or you are serious about nuclear ...and now natural gas given that turbines are backlogged until 2029.

As a Canadian, pls do this stat

Nice try. All of your posts are anti-renewables. I am pointing out to you that nuclear is not doing the job. If you really care about climate, it is about solar and batteries since they can be built at scale in months. We can't wait a decade+ for new nuclear capacity

Thx. There are few Canadians who don't have colleagues or good friends who are American. I have lived in, worked for and/or with Americans all my career. Have spent more time in CA than any other place except for Ontario. This is why the silence is concerning.Seems like tacit support for annexation

This is going to accelerate the adoption of solar and batteries to reduce dependence and expense associated with utilities

I think Canadians very much like what America is meant to be as well. We would like that to come back. Unlike Americans who don't think of Canada much we are forced to think of the USA. I'm interested but you seem to be one of the few people who is thinking about Canada. Why?

Canada is so furious at the US right now Vox’s correspondent in Canada reports on the reaction to Trump’s tariffs.

The average American doesn't, and doesn't need to think about Canada very often. Unfortunately the deafening silence from the average American on this issue is the most troubling part of it.

You keep telling yourself that as nuclear continues to shrink as a percentage of generation.

This

Well my dad has it, and that is true. Trump's behaviour IS sometimes like that I will say

As a left hander I object to being considered mailable...I mean the postage fees are too high for one

@douglewin.bsky.social is the best follow for Texas.

This was not a loss. He was too enamored with long shots like nuclear and carbon capture and dismissive of existing solutions like solar and batteries. He has been proved wrong and he didn't like it

This is just rooftop. Now also use some solar on facades and windows and you are at 100% I bet

Ok....and?

We should be happy that they are trying to annex us

The Canadians who landed on Juno Beach at the same time as well as the Canadians who have fought and died next to Americans in Afghanistan really hope this is the case.

No transmission linkage and the utility loses business because of their intransigence.

He literally negotiated the current usmca trade agreement on January 29, 2020. At the time he said it was the best agreement that had ever been done. So did he rip the USA off?

Translation:"What is clear is that we are counting on government protection to allow us to do so because otherwise we would lose to Superior EVs that other people can build, because we sure as heck can't"

Sure, that's what batteries are for. Just look at what's happening in California and Texas with respect to that. Europe will get there. Having more inflexible nuclear makes this situation worse not better.

I live in Ontario. We are the land that time forgot when it comes to electricity regulation. I see that you are a one issue poster: it's nuclear or its bad.
