    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Canada’s notoriously slow-moving environmental review process, which combined with federal politics, provincial politics and climate-change activism means any proposal faces the prospect of swimming through molasses. Ottawa’s decision in February to quash Énergie Saguenay came eight years after...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    You’ve got to be more specific when you say “you” above. (The last three consecutive Federal Elections look very much like the above)

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Experts warn that it may take more time for Atlantic Canada’s green hydrogen projects to come to fruition. In part, that’s due to the sheer amount of infrastructure required, from wind turbines, hydrogen production facilities, pipelines and liquefaction plants — to the terminals and...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    According to the (mistaken) conventional wisdom of the wider world, Aug. 24 is the sixth-month anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The war, with all its horror, has been truly and genuinely in our faces for only the past half-year — and not in the frozen, faraway sense that has marked...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Yeah, but Alberta is Alberta in this current political climate. It’s too much Alberta to be involved in a Liberal pre-Election announcement. …because Efficiency? Reliability? Cost Effectiveness? That’s not woke. It won’t get Trudeau his UN Seat for after he’s washed his hands of Canada...

    BC NDP Premier John Horgan has announced that he will be resigning from his position.

    B.C. NDP leadership candidate David Eby Is “frustrated” that climate activist Anjali Appadurai has entered the race because, by robbing him of his predicted coronation, it delays crowning the winner by months. http://apple.news/Arji5Cxr6SWOypgEYiriinQ “I’m frustrated because obviously, she...

    Elizabeth May readies Green leadership bid, asked MP Mike Morrice to consider running: Sources

    Green Party leadership hopeful Najib Jutt says he's refusing to take a French language test required by the party — which has rejected his application as a result. Jutt, who worked on former leader Annamie Paul's election campaign, posted a statement on his website saying he will "not be...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    More apt might be Trudeau is the David Copperfield of PM’s….or Groper McBlackface is the Wayne Gretzky of BM’s, but it is what it is.

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Especially so if the producers get to decide what’s clean and what’s not. The agreement also says Ottawa and Berlin will set rules that define the carbon intensity of hydrogen so producers can determine what can be called clean, low carbon or renewable hydrogen. The agreement, which Trudeau...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    What we have is not a government or justice system that takes gun crime seriously, but a whole group of people who want to be seen doing something. They want to claim they are acting on the issue even if they get no results. http://apple.news/AesPP79E3QEyhp4EQU6wvrA If most Canadians heard that...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    The Canadian-German agreement sets no targets for volumes of hydrogen produced and contains no commitments of new money to help commence exports to Europe by 2025. The joint declaration of intent makes clear the agreement is not legally binding and stipulates it will be up to Canada’s Minister...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Obviously, the efficiency isn’t a concern as much as the optics and shoring up Liberal votes pre-election. The Canadian and German governments have signed a deal to co-operate on exporting hydrogen fuel to Europe, setting an ambitious target of 2025 to begin shipments from Eastern Canada –...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    This doesn’t surprise me as Trudeau has been pre-election campaigning with our dollars since before Parliament was hung up for the Summer… Smoke screen on the German Auto Manufacturers which I think is the actual story here (see Inflation Reduction Act just unrolling in the US & the response...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    But how much would infrastructure to move LNG to the eastern ports cost, and how long would it take to put it in, and how long would the Europeans buy it? Working the problem as a working guy outside of the political sphere is creating an awareness that this is happening, I hope.

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Honestly, did anything really happen here? An agreement towards something that doesn’t exist yet, ignoring a solution that exists now even though it would have to be shipped out to Germany & others through American ports due to Woke optics, etc… What was this really about? Piggybacking on...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    The cost, if the regulatory system just won’t allow it to happen, becomes irrelevant, as does the timeframe for its implementation. If LNG conversion plants are usually placed close to the sources of natural gas, & the Fed’s need to look at the possibility of LNG plants on the East Coast (?) in...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    Anyway, sorry for the sidetrack above. Back to the thread topic: This week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is visiting Canada. Many items will be on his agenda with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau but one critical item is blatantly missing: liquified natural gas. Failure to discuss an LNG deal...

    Canadian province shuts down 39 trucking companies involved in Freedom Convoy protests

    Weirdly enough, much of that could be read by an ELD now, but much of the software is proprietary to specific manufacturers (Kenworth, Freightliner, Peterbilt, etc…) and the codes only tell you so much (leading to the infamous problem tree of bankruptcy)…. Even in a shop situation they read a...
