Nope, talking about North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin and it happened in 2017 or 2018 IIRC.Are you talking about the Texas freeze-out last winter? That wasn't generation, that was distribution.
The rest of what you say is obvious. Which is why you have to state it.
They do.Maybe China should be like the UK and burn Canadian forests?
They do.
How many have the feds actually planted? Last number I seen for planting pretty much covered what forest companies and provinces are required to plant. The feds were still setting up the bureaucracy to ensure most of the money stayed in Ottawa, and not in the forest. Then there is the not insignificant problem of where to get trees. Mostly, the nurseries are committed to their regular customers, and one doesn't just ramp up production overnight. And they have to be the right trees for the soil. Another turdOWE shooting from the lip before knowing anything about the subject.Well, we’re down to only about 318,000,000,000 trees (give or take a few I guess) in Canada so I don’t know how many we have to spare. Trudeau is planting those extra 2 Billion Greta trees thou so maybe?
Rex Murphy: Canada's obsession with trees delves into the absurd — National Post
Planting an additional two billion trees on top of the 318 billion we already have is, as the proverb states, akin to bringing coal to Newcastleapple.newsDiane Francis: Trudeau's promise to plant 2 billion trees nothing but greenwashing
Trudeau's modus operandi is to concoct policies that are unjustified, unformulated, unfunded and unfulfilledfinancialpost.com
Kthx. Just clarifying in my (excuse for a) mind.Nope, talking about North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin and it happened in 2017 or 2018 IIRC.
No probs, I get it, The MSM did their best to try and not talk about it when it was happening. The Texas breakdown was actually understandable from what I read about it. The Mid-West breakdown was just ideological stupidity.Kthx. Just clarifying in my (excuse for a) mind.
Spoke to my g/f in Germany this morning. She told me that they don't know what they're going to do for heat this winter & have been told to expect blackouts in electricity to last on average 48 hours each time. She has a wood fireplace so is collecting wood for heat.
Also, Germany has offered China 30% ownership of the Port in Hamburg and people are just furious. That port is the biggest in Europe so China has gotten it's fingers into the EU (I'm sure this isn't the only deal they've made).
I asked her why Germany would do that and she said it's because they need the money. In zoomed China - Belt and Roads anyone? Not good at all. Too bad they didn't listen to Trump back in 2018! He warned them but they laughed at him. They're certainly not laughing now!
Fact is turdOWE was snubbing western Canada, not Germany. While Canadian ecoterrorists were busy making sure Canada would produce as little fossil fuel of any kind, the rest of the countries that have fossil fuel resources were busy ramping up production.After an energy-hungry Germany was snubbed by Canada, Berlin has instead gone all-in on a gas contract with Qatar, the small, autocratic nation currently hosting the World Cup.
This week, German firms announced a 15-year contract to buy roughly two million tonnes of LNG per year of Qatari natural gas.
The multi-billion-dollar deal comes just three months after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a rare official visit to Canada for the explicit goal of securing Canadian sources of liquid natural gas.
“As Germany is moving away from Russian energy at warp speed, Canada is our partner of choice,” Scholz told a Toronto economic conference in August. “We hope that Canadian LNG will play a major role in this.”
Nevertheless, the German leader’s entreaties were met largely with disinterest from the Canadian federal government.
Snubbed by Canada, Germany goes all-in with autocratic Qatar for its gas — National Post
FIRST READING: Despite Trudeau claim of no 'business case' for gas exports to Europe, Germany will be buying Qatari gas into the 2040sapple.news
At a joint press conference with Scholz, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said openly that there has “never been a strong business case” for Canadian LNG exports to Europe.
The prime minister then insisted on taking his German counterpart to Stephenville, Newfoundland, the site of a proposed facility to make hydrogen gas from wind power. With any groundbreaking still years away — and with hydrogen still a vanishingly small piece of Germany’s energy mix — the visit didn’t appear to yield any particular German enthusiasm for Canadian hydrogen.
Germany’s contract for Qatari gas begins in 2026, meaning that tankers of Qatari gas will be sailing into German ports until at least 2041.
The scope and longevity of the contract would seem to defy Trudeau government claims that German gas demands were merely a temporary stop-gap that carried no long-term opportunity for Canada.
The Qatari deal comes with a fair amount of political awkwardness for Germany, given that Berlin has been particularly critical of the Gulf State’s poor record on human rights.
Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup has highlighted international attention on the country’s autocratic rule, its rejection of gay and women’s right and a treatment of foreign workers that has often drawn comparisons to slavery.
So…Yeah…more at the link.
Sarcasm isn’t your strong suit .Speak for yourself. I don't care where the money comes from as long as it produces good paying jobs.

24hr news cycle.Question: Why does Da Meeja characterize efforts to enter into a contract to buy goods as "pleading" and "begging?"
Seems to me Da Meeja is all in on the surlification of society.
So what are they "saving" it for?There isn't a gas shortage in Europe. They have twice as much gas in storage this winter than they had this time last year
They aren't saving it, they are selling it. Prices are lower than last year too. As usual we are getting a line of bullshit from media once again.So what are they "saving" it for?
So who are they selling it to when it's Europe that has a critical shortage and have told residents (in Germany anyway) to expect that the heating of their homes will be reduced by 40% this winter. My friend has "stocked up" on firewood as she's fortunate enough to have a fireplace to use when the gas is off.They aren't saving it, they are selling it. Prices are lower than last year too. As usual we are getting a line of bullshit from media once again.
