The NL environment act is 20 years old, out of date and no longer fit for purpose, just the way developers like it.
New episode: if the uncoming @Qalipu2011 council wants to become land and water defenders, they can begin by pressing @GovNL to replace the 20-year old enviro act with a law that recognizes cumulative effects. #nlpoli

Yes, that would be a good question.
Good morning @NLNDPCaucus - might be worth a question in the house around the German Government falling apart and what it means for the CG Hydrogen Alliance

All over the world, consumers are gagging on farmed salmon. Not good for humans, not good for the environment. Get with the program, @GovNL #aquaculture

Counting up the votes on the new
@Qalipu2011 band council. Corporate-oriented chief Jenny Brake in a better position, but some hope for land and water. #qalipu #Mikmaq #Indigenous

Damn. If only an electric boat could do what these can do, only cheaper and safer. Oh, wait, what?

New episode: Face to face with candidate for chief Byron Alexander, who would make @Qalipu2011 something it has never been -- a defender of land, water and #Mikmaq rights. #Indigenous #NL

Check out the reference to NL as a "mining friendly jurisdiction." Translation: we have weak environmental rules and allow Aussies to get away here with what they can't at home. #nlpoli

New episode: the challenge facing the new @Qalipu2011 council, and saying goodbye to Don Pelley.

Great discussion with Robert Loder regarding secrecy, misinformation and the mammoth wind energy projects being forced on NLers against their wishes.

As backlash builds against the return of draggers to the cod fishery, @Envirowatchnl sits down with fisheries scientist Abe Solberg of the @FFAW_Unifor to ponder the question of the hour -- what was @FishOceansCAN thinking?

As in #NL, so in #NS Everwind faces environmental
opposition -- in NS to its plan to plunk 400 industrial wind turbines in Guysborough County, one of the last wildnerness areas left in the province.

If plans proceed, Germany will be getting fertilizer produced with @WorldEnergyGH2 hydrogen and subsidized by #NL and Cdn taxpayers. NLers will also be paying higher hydro bills. A great deal - for Germany.
#Lithuania's largest #fertiliser producer bags €122 million government grant to replace grey #hydrogen partially with green H2

Meanwhile, in Ontario...
No response to 2023 Chatham-Kent letter from @fordnation govt on health hazard investigation of contaminated water near wind turbines. And more turbines may be coming. Council debates #unwillinghost next week. @IESO_Tweets @ONenergy @ONenvironment #onpoli sydenhamcurrent.ca/2024/07/1…

As environment ministers met in St. John's to talk climate, ExxonMobil was drilling an exploratory well 500 km off the coast.
About that, fed minister Steven Guilbeault said, "We will continue using fossil fuels in a carbon-neutral world, in 2050."

Any strategy to protect the Atlantic salmon has to deal with destructive aquaculture. Are our governments willing to take on the global fish-farm industry? Not @PremierofNL
Andrew Furey, that's for sure. cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…
Item is from Australia, but much of data relevant here -- e.g. a 50% increase in construction costs since COVID caused by supply chain issues. Add the tech inefficiency of wind to hydrogen and you understand why @WorldEnergyGH2 has yet to sign a contract.

Can't say we were surprised but it's still a punch in the gut to see @GovNL choose John Risley's wind adventure over environmental protection. A sad day for NL. #nlpoli

You wonder where they would house all the construction workers needed to put up those wind turbines. Man camps?

Everwind gets a rough ride on the Burin Peninsula. All across the province, citizens are saying no to these mammoth wind energy developments. Are you listening, @GovNL ?
