The UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget level should be set at 535 MtCO2e, an 87% reduction against 1990 levels. This country has a prosperous and secure future ahead. The fossil fuel age is over – it’s time to electrify the United Kingdom. www.theccc.org.uk/2025/02/26/e...

There are so many holes in the zombie pipeline ideas being thrown around. Business interest is low because pipelines make even less sense now than they used to. The future is renewable. We need a clean, connected, Cdn. grid instead. @cape-acme.bsky.social www.theenergymix.com/hype-for-new...

Should we turn Czechoslovakia over to the Germans? We've set up a call-in on Czechoslovakian public radio which is open to Germans to talk about the pros and cons.

When it comes to #PowerPurchaseAgreements, the U.S. left Canada in the dust last year. They set a new record of 28GW in 2024, up 34% from 2022. Their 183 deals in 2024 almost doubled the # of PPAs in 2023. We're missing out on opportunities, Canada! Read more ⬇️ bcse.org/wp-content/u...

Electric, high-speed rail in Canada's most populous corridor is extremely cool and good and it can't come soon enough. ⚡ It's going to need continued support and a lot of luck to get out of the 4-5 year design phase and into construction. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is a cowardly mistake from NS Gov. The 2013-14 fracking review was clear, and led to the moratorium in 2014. It engaged thousands in NS, and considered the Treaty rights of the Mi'kmaq. This undoes all of that, with no consultation. No fucking way will NS stand for it. #nspoli #fracking

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

👇 THIS IS JUST THE START! 👇 With over 15,000 MW of procurements at some stage taking place across Canada, we will see some serious growth in the total installed capacity for renewables & energy storage by 2030. I can't wait to see these numbers on the @canrea.bsky.social 10th anniversary!

The world is moving towards renewable energy. ☀️ So why are some Canadian politicians now racing in the opposite direction, and pushing for the expansion of risky & costly fossil fuels?

Renewables are expected to become cheaper in 2025 and beyond. BNEF analysis shows new wind and solar farms are already undercutting new coal and gas plants on production cost in almost every market globally.

He’s talking about annexing other countries. He’s talking about invading and ethnically cleansing Gaza. We really don’t think he won’t talk about staying longer than four years? Are these not all trial balloons? Does letting them float not lead to only one place?

The President of the United States is calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. There are more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip, nearly half of them are children. Absolutely vile. He must be held accountable for his genocidal remarks.

Gaza belongs to Palestine — and no one else. Trump's threats are utter madness. They violate every international law. Destabilize the region. Threaten the ceasefire. Canada must stand up to this forcefully. Gaza is not for sale, it belongs to Palestinians.

Trump on Gaza: Forced displacement of 2 million people from their homeland. This is ethnic cleansing. Nothing less. This is completely inhumane. Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. 🇵🇸
