The tech and production capacity is good, there just needs to be stricter oversight because at this moment there are no other producers of low cost EVs and I don't really care if they're subsidized when the other players on the market are 15 years behind.

This is the least Canada can do, Canada’s continued weapons shipments to Israel make us directly complicit in genocide, while it’s dressed up as diplomacy.

Okay that makes more sense. Still hard to believe it's come to this but heading the separatists off at the pass seems like the right call.

power generation has come a long way but specially in the North America the story isn't as good, while we've made progress the amount of methane produced by our natural gas wells is not only frightening but difficult to track due to lack of accountability.

it's my opinion if we want the sort of radical greenhouse gas reduction required to stave off the worst of climate change then we need three things:

  1. an aggressive plan to phase out coal and natural gas
  2. embrace public transportation and bikes
  3. drastically reduce the amount of red meat we eat

I do believe it's possible I'm just also think it's really difficult to get political will for those sort of things.

I've given up meat, I moved closer to my work so I could commute by bicycle and when I water my plants I do it with gray water I get from my dehumidifier.

So when my friend had a new house built an hour from his work and bought a new car because of the commute, well that person is no longer my friend and I know that seems extreme but I just can't reconcile it.

We can stop at a human level if we decapitate the rich and powerful.

Honestly, I hate to jump on the antinatalism bandwagon but having a child now would almost certainly condemn them to an existence of scarcity and pain.

What makes this doubly difficult is that if we had acted at the first sign of trouble, we almost certainly could have lived comfortable lives with minimal sacrifices and every year we put it off the sacrifices we would have to make in order to maintain our climate get more severe.

I think they're intent wasn't to take away from any other issues we have but to say that we have another burgeoning issue which if it continued to grow at scale could be as damaging as our other major contributors.

Now we have the the education and first-hand experience to understand the impact and scope of the issue and despite this have still showed no reluctance.

For this petition to be approved, they need to collect 294,000 physical signatures from eligible Albertan voters over a 90 day period, those are incredibly onerous terms. Correct me if I'm wrong but at least it feels like purposeful obstruction to this passing.
