Smith 2.0, Authoritarian Libertarianism, and Breaking Bad in Alberta
It's not just MAGA politics. Premier Danielle Smith has also adopted the underlying ideology of Donald Trump's movement

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.

Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.
One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss
Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Electric tractors are coming, too! 🚜
First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.

But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

Hard to believe that PFAS has been basically an undeclared ingredient in a bunch of pesticides... 🫨 perhaps it's not the active ingredient that's causing issues, but this set of compounds instead. 🤔

Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025.

It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.

Budget 2025 is investing in new healthcare infrastructure — because Canadians need hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centres, and medical schools that they can rely on.

Ahhh, I LOVE these kinds of graphics. 📊❤️ Super interesting results to look at for a while...and pretty obvious to anyone who has travelled widely or lived in a variety of regions.
This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Thank you! I'm totally tired of this whinging and playing the victim (and all of this self-sabotage...I'm looking at YOU, Alberta.) Knock it off - let's get on with the 21st century here, folks.
Who’s tired of oil bros dominating every social media conversation about Projects of National Interest?

I want a pipeline!! Whaaaa!!

I want an LNG plant!! Whaaaa!!

Gimme a break.
Where Are Canada’s Energy Transition Experts?

Canada has a small economists, engineers, analysts, etc versed in energy transition data and theory.

One reason why oil/gas voices dominate "major projects" discussions.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Pay more taxes, get fewer public services. Not satisfied? Then pay out of your own pocket.

That's the playbook, folks. You've been warned.

The ocean has been hoarding heat. Now it is building up a massive 'burp.'
Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.
