Lets see how Canada is doing leading the world to a low carbon future... maybe a bit lower...
nope, lower, not seeing it yet. not yet.
Oh there we are at 9% (are these numbers right?)
The government keeps talking about protecting our EV production...
Could it be high prices?

Futureproofing multifamily buildings with EV charging infrastructure is key to enable the full transition to EVs over the next 2-3 decades. With careful planning, these approaches can enable broader building decarbonization by reserving limited electrical capacity for heat pumps and other retrofits

Look we're trying to quit.
Your air, our air, its all just air.
And those space pictures show it is a disturbingly thin layer. Could we maybe agree not to smoke right now?
Is it getting hot in here or is it just us?

This is a special message to King Coal and his fossil fuel executive sponsors.
The fossil fuel industry knew 114 years ago, what we all know today.
These executives are all accomplices in the deliberate destruction of the world headed by King Coal.

Hey Fraser Valley & Climate Action people.
Do you know about the Zero Carbon Step Code?
www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/...
It is a clear pathway forward for cities to stop (mostly stop) the climate change causing pollution from many buildings.

The idea that pedestrians and bikes don't have to bump up and down for every driveway and street seems WONDERFUL. :-)

BC has an EV highway where people can go from Victoria to Port Hardy & from Tofino to the Alberta border using their EV.
Ted Olynyk, BC Hydro regional manager says
“Roughly every 150 km, along major routes we have high speed chargers so people can fully charge their vehicle.”

We FOCUS.
On high impact events.
On repeating events.
Sure we fix things that break, but we don't try to prevent something that has only ever happened once.
