What's gonna happen to the grid when we all switch to EVs?
I dunno, Greg. You didn't seem all that concerned about the grid when you started crypto mining and using AI to write your college essays.

I think the real question is "why is the public paying to clean up corporate messes?"

@npub14ka…um78 unfortunately in Alberta, Catholics are allowed to run for public school boards, but not vice versa

Finally, they're saying it.

No political party in Canada is going to save us from this without crashing the market.
No political party is willing to do that.
But go ahead and vote for the one that wants to sacrifice trans kids (and come after the gays next) for the false hope that they'll do something about housing.
(hint: they won't, but they will definitely blame their lack of action on the previous administration)

@npub14ka…um78 Willfully ignoring that their concerns are both misinformed and harmful to children. The BCSC ruled against religion v LGBTQ+ kids 20 years ago.

At this point, O&G promoters showing up at conferences are like evangelicals showing up at your door.
"Have you heard the gospel of fossil fuels?"
Yeah, we have. We know it's all lies, bullshit and made up promises and does more harm than good in the world, so kindly get off my lawn.

@npub14ka…um78 reminds me of the editorial some pissant write justifying this as a city vs country issue and us city folk would be just as upset if it were in their backyards, as though we don't have several refineries and storage tanks literally everywhere in Edmonton.

So when a farmer whinges about his "pristine view" being ruined by a solar farm, the whole government springs into action to make the regulatory bodies write letters and manufacture consent to ban renewables.
When O&G wants to make CCS near a reserve tho, those approvals get rubber stamped and nothing can stop this train, baby.

Sure, but it's the immigrants.
To be fair, the Liberals aren't banning investor owned housing either.

I would much rather Canada show "utter contempt" for Alberta than let Suncor show the same for the entirety of the planet.

@npub1k4q…3lsq I mean, I lived rural for years. There's a reason most of us leave.
The progressives who stay and fight have my undying respect.
