Today, we honour the service of the brave women and men who answered the call.
 
Those who sacrificed years away from loved ones, those who returned from combat forever changed, and those who never came home — the veterans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

“Pioneers of “enhanced geothermal” techniques believe they can apply innovations from the shale industry, such as fracking and multilateral drilling, to enable geothermal almost anywhere. At the forefront is Fervo.”

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Cliché subject line of the day: “Help shape the future of…”

I just received two emails in a row with that as the beginning of the subject line, from entirely different types of organizations.

The future is just around the bend!

Glad to see someone finally mentioning #geothermal in relation to Canada’s energy possibilities. We have expertise from O&G that should be repurposed.

Sorry - it’s paywalled.
Opinion: Geothermal power is the key to cheaper energy in the Canadian Arctic
We are lagging behind the U.S. and other countries in taking advantage of this power source

Dammit people, add alt text to your images! So many times I see awesome art or cool comics, but can't repost it, because it's not accessible.

Amazing Canadian talent and ingenuity that hardly any Canadians heard about. Who knew there was a world expo in Osaka and that our pavilion was so very cool? When do we learn how to toot our own horns?

If Canada “must come second” to the U.S. auto sector, maybe Canadians should consider American cars 4th or 5th.
