Canada Failing to Put Climate Change Plans in Action

[Twin_Moose]

Hydrocarbon is going to be doing the heavy lifting for a long time to come yet, the next energy source is either in it's infancy or a little ways off yet. It has to be economical, plentiful, easy to use, and not time sensitive, because we as a people are cheap, lazy, compulsive, and impatient.

Human slavery is going to come back in a big way when all the jobs are automated and 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth ... in two or three decades, tops.

Don't they already?

In BC we are sitting on enough geothermal heat to power all of western Canada but nobody is doing anything with it. Where I live is called "the valley of the hot springs". Thousands of tourists come here to soak in our pools but for some reason, the powers that be can't seem to get their minds our of oil and hydro power box. And we have a thousand miles of coast line that has the potential of wave and tidal power: all being used in other countries but not here.

Get "R" Dun Cliffy I would buy off of you if it is as cheap as my NG to heat my home

BTW have you set one up for your home yet?

Those that can....do...
Those that can't preach
And they can't even do it with their own memes.....

No, you're going to see the real thing come back, not just the metaphorical one. Our civilization is on a one-way return to feudalism. We're closer than you think, as humans of all walks of life are replaced by automation. It's not possible to exist in urban Camada now, strictly on Service Sector wages but the traditional means of supplementing incomes ... like driving a cab ... will be gone forever by mid-century. Most of the population will not be able to subsist and one alternative is to sell yourself into servitude in order to survive.

All those tourists in their a class motor homes , or big 450 pickups towing trailers, so carbon healthy .

Yea, yea that’s what they always say . Are you a Luddite ?

No. I'm a realist with children just entering the work force except there won't be any. If you were a tad bit brighter, you'd realize it too. I don't expect that you will, though.

I'm no scientist, but I wonder how the lengthy coastline would work for generating hydro power, being that it is so tortuous! You have any answers, Petros?

It seams to me that different size tides would affect output and performance .

It's not length that counts. It's the height of the tides and the narrowness of the mouth of an inlet to "ventury" the rising and falling tides to greater velocities. A long, straight shore would be a lousy place to generate tidal electricity (pretty good for wind power, probably though).

Well....I'm doing my part to stall that....
Last year I was at loblaws across the road from erin mills city center mall in Mississauga and I had just purchased a few items..
My daughter, with me asks why I went to a cashier instead of the self check out.
I told her that I was just doing my share so that those cashiers still had jobs
Also the reason why I refuse to pay at the pump when I gas up my car.
I go to the automatic car wash only because my other option would be to wash it myself
I don't need the work....I'm retired... lol

They have tidal generators on the Thames, in Holland and many other countries. There is no excuse for not having it here.

Once robots take over, humans become redundant. The rich do not share their wealth with us now, does anyone expect them to share it in the future? No. They are planning on thinning the herd as we speak.

There is already way more than 1% have government jobs.

Typical lefty looser. Always waiting for someone else to do the heavy lifting.
