I can’t believe of all the refs, coaches, players, staff, and managers, no one saw this in the moment.

The call, in Inuktitut, from CBC today:

Only a few countries in the world produce liquid fuels. But every country can produce clean electricity.

EV’s = energy sovereignty

Canadian solar and wind project costs plummet | Pembina Institute It’s a happy coincidence of timing: we need a lot more electricity generation, and fast — and we’ve also experienced more than a decade of price reductions in renewable energy. A look at projects…

These diesel powered boats are unreliable. Time to get some electric ones.

If you are in Nova Scotia and are over 50, the health authority mails you a free test every two years. But fewer than half the people who receive the kits return them. It's a great program. Just do the test and mail it back.

In Cuba, people go without food and power as U.S. chokes oil supply and tourists flee | CBC News Some Cubans say everyday life on the Caribbean island has reached a breaking point amid a fuel shortage brought about by the U.S. squeezing the country’s oil supply.

The Grammys. The Olympics. The Super Bowl. The message is that the world loves diversity. Don’t let the billionaires tell you otherwise.

All you need to know is Bad Bunny hit a grand slam.

This is important to keep in mind when we do things such as increasing SO2 limits to allow for dirtier coal to be burned to reduce electricity rates.

Just because health care costs aren’t on our power bills doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

The rink at CBU for starters, has its roof covered in solar.

Nova Scotia’s first solar-powered hockey rink Located in Lower Sackville, in N.S. with a population of more than 50,000, the arena is also an expensive facility to run, which is why the operators applied for a federal grant under the 2030 Emissio...

This is a cool project, but it’s not the first rink with solar panels in Nova Scotia.

Global power demand is set to grow by more than 3.5% annually to 2030 as the Age of Electricity takes hold

Rising electricity use in industry, the uptake of EVs, higher air conditioning use and the growth of data centres & AI are leading this expansion 👉 iea.li/4a2F6KU

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.

This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

What’s driving up Maine’s energy bills? Natural gas. A new report finds more renewable energy could help make electricity more affordable, despite efforts to scapegoat clean power for rising costs.

🇨🇦 “Geothermal is more steady work. It’s a lot safer and I got more of a life," says oil-worker-turned-geothermal-driller Benji Perry.

In Canada, oil and gas jobs now make up less than 1% of total employment, even as oil production has grown. Meanwhile, clean energy jobs like Perry’s are expanding.

This makes me want to vomit
