I'd love to see an EV gerry can. Can you show me one please?




Nut Zone Doug is having trouble getting the EV gerry can photographed since it is a big and heavy as an actual small car!


DEFINITELY NOT PORTABLE!


Oh well - just another IMPRACTICAL issue with electric TOY cars!


Quite aside from the curse inducing REDUCTION in range as the Lithium battery ages!


Tesla CLAIMS a fifty percent reduction in range within ten years!


And sounds like those EPA ESTIMATES of the sort of fuel economy


your gas powered car is expected to get!


In other words - RESULTS MAY VARY in real world conditions - AND NOT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!

First Nations worry they'll lose out on cash to clean up old oil and gas wells in Western Canada

They want 10% of the total to clean up 800 wells about $120 Million
If they have 10% of the wells that require cleanup that is what they should receive . That said the cleanup costs should have been reserved from the operating companies revenue and the cleanup done without government funding . Governments could and probably should hold said funds in trust and return after well cleanup is successfully completed .

All new wells do contribute to the Orphan well fund, we are talking about wells from the 50's-70's where the fund was not set up yet. In the article the Alberta Gov. said the orphan fund has been depleted and will top it back up with some of the Fed. money

Also in the article it says that there are 30+ Thousand wells to be relaimed and FN claim they have 800 to be reclaimed.

After Douglas chased Shell and Imperial out of SK, they left thousands of wells and moved to AB.

It was the best thing to ever happen to Alberta.

30,000 plus in twenty odd years , the scale must be more enormous then I thought .

The biggest problem nobody is claiming the old wells as theirs due to multiple company take overs where the originators of these wells are long gone and buried. Much of these wells are Gas wells where they either played out or watered in and not worth reviving, victims of very low Gas pricing.

Russia is going to lose Siberia to China. It's coming.


Maybe...............maybe not......China DOES HAVE a lot more economic troubles than it wishes to admit!


And the recent arrests of Hong Kong protestors MAY look like a demonstration of power


or MAY BE an admission they are losing control of the population!


That Wuhan Virus did a number on their economy!


And in the long run the Beijing Butchers might just decide it would be easier to BUY Alberta and Saskatchewan from



Our idiot Boy Justin- who admires the Beijing Butchers so very much!


China has been very strategically buying up all manner of useful farm land and assorted resources and OTTAWA



has already been warned about HOSTILE STATES like China buying up Cdn companies that are in fiscal trouble!


Sadly Our idiot Boy is not concerned with Chinese influence!


Our idiot Boy thinks THE YANKEES are the big threat to Canada!
