Quel scandale : nous devons demander l'autorisation de la Commission européenne pour construire nos centrales nucléaires EPR2 (!), qui pose des exigences (interconnexions, revente a des tiers) qui en détruisent une grande partie des avantages. Afuera!

Exner-Pirot on the Clean Fuel Standard (CFR): "There is an even more insidious aspect to the CFR. To meet their carbon intensity targets, many Canadian refiners blend biofuels into their petroleum products. But Canada is not self-sufficient in their production. More than half of Canada’s biofuels are imported, predominantly from the United States. Somehow, in the middle of a trade war and an energy crisis, it has gone unnoticed that Canada — the aspiring energy superpower — has artificially made itself dependent on the United States for fuel. The vulnerability was brutally exposed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s diesel export ban threat, when refiners were scrambling to find out if renewable diesel bound for Canada would be caught in the net. It is a favourite line of the Carney government that, amidst geopolitical rupture and trade disruption, “Canada is focused on what we can control.” The CFR is at the top of the list of self-harming, expensive and distortive policies that Canada controls, and has every interest in rolling back." @ExnerPirot

Scrap the Paris temperature targets, says @RogerPielkeJr. They don’t tell us which policies work. Yet households and businesses pay the price of those policies. And their patience has limits. Ever-higher energy bills. Industry moving abroad. European leaders should not be surprised when the yellow vests return. Pielke also sees expensive energy as a driver of the political upheaval across many countries. His “iron law”: when climate policy collides with the economy, the economy wins. A temperature target or a deadline for “net zero” won’t change that. His alternative: technological progress that cuts emissions AND increases prosperity. In conversation with @marcelcrok, Pielke explains why climate policy needs a rethink — and why he is finally optimistic. Watch the full interview: youtu.be/QFrAGK_OEXk

.@ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe @taxpayerDOTcom Hundreds of failing heat pumps in Germany!!!
Es ist doch herrlich: Das grüne Märchen der „Wärmewende“ feiert in Schleswig-Holstein einen grandiosen Triumph! Im idyllischen Reetdorf an der Geltinger Bucht zerbröselt der ideologische Heizungstraum gerade in seine Einzelteile. Hunderte teure Wärmepumpen fallen reihenweise aus, die Technik streikt. Der Schaden? Geht längst in die Millionen. Der betroffene Investor hat jedenfalls genug von diesem umweltpolitischen Zwangsexperiment: „Alle unsere Wärmepumpen kommen raus“, sagt er klipp und klar und stellt fest, „dass die Bauleitung bei den Stadtwerken lag und sie unser alleiniger Vertragspartner sind“. Aber wer zahlt das juristische Fiasko, wenn die ach so perfekte Technik vorzeitig durchrostet? Für den normalen Hausbesitzer ist so ein Totalausfall der direkte Weg in den finanziellen Ruin. Das ist die brutale Realität des einst diktierten Heizungsgesetzes, dessen fatale Erblast den Bürgern auch im Herbst 2026 noch die Existenz kostet. Aber keine Sorge, das politische Filz-System schützt sich selbst. CDU-Mann Holger Ley kontrolliert als Aufsichtsratschef gemütlich die Stadtwerke. Praktischerweise leitet er auch den Aufsichtsrat der Tochterfirma, die die Geräte eingekauft hat. Und weil Kontrolle so schön ist, führt er ebenso den Aufsichtsrat der zweiten Tochterfirma, die den Kram dann beim Kunden einbaute. Ein Schelm, wer bei dieser wundersamen personellen Dreifaltigkeit an einen handfesten Interessenkonflikt bei der Schuldfrage denkt! Die Stadtwerke winken ungeniert ab: alles ein „übliches Verfahren“. Während die Politik die Bürger in eine unbezahlbare technische Sackgasse gezwungen hat, machen es sich lokale Funktionäre auf ihren Posten bequem. Wer sich diese Zwangstechnik heute antun muss, braucht vor allem eins: ein pralles Sparbuch für den unvermeidlichen Totalausfall. #Wärmepumpen #Heizungsgesetz #Habeck report24.news/waermepumpen-d…

The good news is that the so-called climate emergency is over. When will CBC report on that? scienceofclimatechange.org/j…

In the #GENClimtaeAction case in Ontario, CBC went out of its way to make derogatory comments about one of Canada's most esteemed scientists, Prof. William van Wijgaarden. We did the investigative work in 2022 on who was who behind that case - the kind of work that the tax-funded CBC should have done, @taxpayerDOTcom , rather than smearing a scientist while lionizing children being used as pawns for Big Climate. blog.friendsofscience.org/20… /2

Well... narcity.com/calgary/climate-… Much as we scientifically disagree with the stance of these kids and their guardians who filed the suit, and with the ENGO driving the case, these are KIDS, some are obviously scared about the future. So - let's deal with the science and not go after these younguns. Just well-meaning, frightened pawns in the climate passion play.

"A binding green taxonomy is also a prerequisite to better ties to Europe. It is hard to imagine that the deeper economic and financial integration of Canada and the EU that Carney so eagerly promotes is possible without a merging of taxonomies. Unless both economies can agree on the same baseline for investment requirements and restrictions, they will never find common ground. The green taxonomy can thus be seen as an indicator of the Carney government’s future plans. If the end goal is still net-zero 2050, then a green taxonomy remains a crucial step in that process. The farther it progresses, the closer we get to Euro-style stagnation and decline. Canada can either open itself for business or commit to a net-zero future. It can’t do both." @InvestNowOrg

Funny you should mention that. Alberta's oil sands seemed to be their favorite wedge - and it did wound and divide our country and province. @ABDanielleSmith knows that many people have completely forgotten about the decades long, multi-billion dollar #TarSandsCampaign. We have not. Familiar political logo, no? blog.friendsofscience.org/wp…

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns Europe is falling dangerously behind America economically… and blames anti-business, anti-investment, and anti-innovation policies. 🇺🇸🇪🇺 “If you don’t believe me, go to Europe, folks. Europe used to have a GDP per person of 90% of America’s. It’s now 65%. It’s on its way to 50%. That will jeopardize the health of Europe itself over time. And it’s all anti-business, anti-investment, anti-innovation. They kind of know it. If they don’t fix it—and we should help them fix it, because Europe matters—it’s really bad for the Western world, too. We should do it wisely.” Europe shift over the past three decades has proven decimating for their economy. Aging population forces mass immigration in order to maintain adequate growth. Crazy regulation and bureaucracy slows innovation and investment… forcing the economy further down. At the same time, the United States has pulled ahead exponentially and will continue to do so. Europe is struggling.
