Canadian govt wants fossil fuels mostly gone by 2035

Canadian govt wants fossil fuels mostly gone by 2035

"...Everyone’s heard the line about renewables being cheaper and no one’s falling for it any more.

.Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s newly announced plan to largely phase out the use of fossil fuels to generate power in Canada over the next 12 years is being criticized as costly and unrealistic, despite his claims that higher electricity costs would be offset by savings on oil and gas.

..Environment and Climate Change Canada officials said in a technical briefing that the national average household energy bill would increase by between $35 and $61 per year when the regulations are adopted by 2040, although the government says that only two per cent of this increase would be the result of the regulations. It also projects that the increase would be offset by savings when consumers reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, for instance the savings from the cheaper cost of recharging an electric vehicle (EV) compared to filling up with gasoline.

“Shifting to clean electricity saves households on their energy bills away from the shocks of yo-yoing gas and oil prices,” said Guilbeault....

'Scientist' Wants To Catch An Asteroid And Block Out The Sun With It... | ZeroHedge - Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
"The latest demented idea being pushed to stop the world ending from climate armageddon is to catch an asteroid, put an umbrella on it and use it to block out the Sun.

The Daily Mail reports:
István Szapudi, an astronomer from the University of Hawaii, argued his far-fetched concept was merely an enormous ‘solar shield’.
The shield – which would be made of the ultra strong ‘wonder material’ graphene – would block energy from the sun and cool down our planet...

While teasing a segment on the “growing humanitarian crisis” in New York City and demands for federal assistance from New York, Todd said, “I guess Greg Abbott was right when he said, once he got blue cities to deal with this, that they would be very upset at the federal government.”

Unsold electric cars may signal a death spiral for the auto industry - CFACT

Unsold electric cars may signal a death spiral for the auto industry - CFACT - By Ronald Stein

With new EV inventories beginning to increase on dealer lots...

As the future is fast approaching, virtually all automobile manufacturers, through government mandates to reduce the emissions of their fleet of vehicles, are going all-in only to manufacture EVs in the coming years. To meet low emissions for their fleet of vehicles, we’re most likely going to see fewer and fewer hybrids as the auto industry manufacturers need to eliminate the gasoline engines in hybrids to meet those lower emission targets.

The problem is that manufacturers are loading up the “supply chain” with EVs on dealer lots, but they’re not seeing the “demand” for EVs coming from the public. The current EV ownership profiles of the elite owners are that they are:

• highly educated.
• highly compensated.
• multi-car families.
• low mileage requirements for the families’ second car, i.e., the EV.

Current EV owners are dramatically different from most vehicle owners...

ITEM 1: KTSP reported, “Minneapolis losing police officers faster than they can hire, chief calls it ‘unsustainable.’”
Oh no. At this rate, there will be no police left to defund.
ITEM 2: NBC reported, “Presidential candidate assassinated at campaign rally in Ecuador.”
Those crazy Ecuadorians. That would never happen here.

• Except for 1972, when they attempted to assassinate candidate George Wallace.
• And 1968 when they succeeded with candidate Bobby Kennedy.
• And 1912 when they attempted to assassinate candidate TR.
• And 1981 when they attempted to assassinate President Reagan.
• And the four times they succeeded in killing a sitting president.

Thank goodness we are not Ecuador.
ITEM 3: Axios reported, “Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that he is appointing U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss as special counsel to lead the investigation into Hunter Biden.”
Weiss is the guy who wants to give Hunter a plea bargain that keeps him from ever being charged with any crime....

Climate and Capitalism: a Match Made in Hell

Climate and Capitalism: a Match Made in Hell - ELIZABETH NICKSON

"Climate Hysteria is the cover for the biggest land rush in human history

• Three energy weapon laser beams were filmed starting the fire in Lahaina. This of course, is unprovable but the town is filled with ex-military and the suspicious. Imagine the money bomb waiting to be scooped up rebuilding one of Hawaii’s main tourist towns. 
• Same story in the central valley of California. 2030 wants cattle off the land, so why not burn acres upon acres of feed. Cows don’t need grass feed, they need protein mush made in a lab for the few years left they will be allowed on the planet. 

It is becoming, these days, to be more sensible to consider the paranoid, until they are proved wrong.

But the climate hysteria seems to be working.

• For the last several weeks I have been swimming off a rocky beach and wondering where all the people were. Admittedly, it’s a hike in, but it’s gorgeous and while sparsely used, I usually meet a dozen or so people even in winter. Then I realized they were watching the news which was full-on weather catastrophe and DON’T GO OUT IN IT. The broadsheet located in the nearby capital city runs four or five "climate catastrophe" pieces every single day...

I’m starting to think it is a world-wide scam of set fires meant to scare us into more regulation, more giveaways. 

• In Canada we have arrested dozens of fire-setters, and dozens are still being sought...

"Climate change" is now eating capitalism. It is a profit center for both government and business...
It always means productive activity is shut down, whether via resource set-asides, (necessary resources) or in western democracies, human activity. 

• There "climate mitigation" literally trades on the misery of the young, who pay increased rents, compliance fees, new requirements, engineers say; and it attaches an entire battalion of green compliance officers who cruise the region for infractions. 
• In my area, "green-development" requirements add $1,000 to the monthly rent of a one-bedroom apartment and despite the province only being 6 percent developed, opening up land for new housing is greeted by lawfare and protests...

All about the money...

 

January 6 Committee Destroyed Records, Videos; Trump's Rights Violated

January 6 Committee Destroyed Records, Videos; Trump's Rights Violated: 

The January 6 Committee defied a demand last year by incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) that it preserve all of its records, evidence, and transcripts, and has destroyed much of what it collected over more than a year of investigation. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) made that revelation to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, also noting that the committee had not looked into possible security lapses at the Capitol, and that much of the material the committee did preserve was disorganized.

Andy Ngo v. Antifa: The Jury Has Reached a Verdict and It's Causing an Uproar - 
Mia Cathell

"At the conclusion of journalist Andy Ngo's multi-day civil trial against Rose City Antifa, whose far-left militant members brutally beat the investigative reporter when he went undercover to expose Antifa's extremist activities on the riot-torn streets of Portland, a 12-person jury reached a verdict in the case Tuesday evening, reportedly finding both of the defendants not liable for all claims.

The Post Millennial's senior editor—represented by attorney Harmeet Dhillon's nonprofit Center for American Liberty—sought almost $1 million in damages in a lawsuit accusing the co-defendants of assault, battery, theft, and intentional infliction of emotional distress over a series of violent Antifa attacks beginning in 2019, when Ngo was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage.

In closing statements, defense counsel Michelle Burrows told the jurors that not only does she self-identify as an "anti-fascist," she strongly declared, "I am Antifa," and insisted upon making herself an "I am Antifa" t-shirt, which the activist attorney said she would wear after the trial...

Burrows also told jurors that she "will remember each one of their faces."...

The Left Careens Down the Road Toward Totalitarianism - TheBlaze: 

The Democrat Party is intent on destroying our nation from the inside out. And while the leftists might not come bearing physical weapons, they do have a more insidious kind of attack: ideas.

“It’s the battle of ideas. People are persuaded by socialism and Marxism. Why? Because they never produce what they say they’re going to produce. They produce horror, they produce death, they produce impoverishment. But the promises are endless,” Mark Levin explains.
