This is brilliant BC Hydro is improving the EV charging experience by enabling roaming with partners so that a person doesn’t need half a dozen accounts to charge their car. They can just use one account on any of the networks.

"Fossil fuels are only going to get more expensive and renewables are only going to get cheaper" is both true & something the public is already inclined to believe (or at the very least is persuadable).

China's electrification transition is dramatic, and leaving us in the dust.

So much for LNG-powered trucks! China and soon India are leapfrogging to the new. And our leaders pushing LNG and retreating on ZEVs look sad & vision-less in comparison.

China's diesel trucks shift to electric. This could change global LNG and diesel demand.
China is replacing its diesel trucks with electric models faster than expected, potentially reshaping global fuel demand and the future of heavy transport.

Very cool to see Manitoba Hydro building EV chargers North from Winnipeg to Churchill along Highway 6.

Rural infrastructure like this is necessary to make cleaner transportation viable.

Thank you.

66% of all solar and 69%(!) of all wind installed globally this year, will be installed in China🤯🇨🇳

Good morning with good news: Poland's coal plunged from 91.1% of its electricity in June 2015 to a record low monthly share of 42.9% in June 2025!

Down 48.2 points of market share in just 10 years.

How?

Mostly Wind/Solar.

They jumped from 4% in June 2015 to 38.9% in June 2025. #energysky

Dear PM Carney

Solar & wind power aren’t just better for the climate; they’re also less expensive today than fossil fuels at utility scale, and less harmful to people’s health

Smith killed green energies in Alberta. How is she getting away with so much harm?

theconversation.com/renewable-en...
Renewable energy is cheaper and healthier – so why isn’t it replacing fossil fuels faster?
Politics is just one challenge. The cost of borrowing to build wind and solar farms is another, especially in fast-growing developing countries. There are solutions.

Stop expanding polluting technologies please.

Old dirty technology like oil and gas keep is dependent on foreign owned oil companies.

Electricity is abundant, safer, cleaner and more Canadian in ownership of generation and transmission.
Mark Carney seems to think he needs permission from Exxon to impose a carbon price or GHG emissions cap (spoiler: he doesn't), but doesn't need permission from First Nations to build a new tar sands pipeline (not a spoiler: he does).
Looks like it's time to get the band back together: Ottawa, Alberta close to deal that includes tar sands pipeline to B.C. coast

“Methane emissions across the supply chain are a key indicator of poor environmental and operational practices in the fossil fuel industry. Reducing [them] in the energy sector is the most effective and rapid way to cut greenhouse gases in the short term.”

Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown?
With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

Just did some digging with Gemini into the options in BC for balcony solar, time of day billing arbitrage with a battery and it looks like our current regulations shoot this idea down.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal.

We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

Exciting to see how grid-battery storage is growing, makes economic sense, provides stability to the grid and is helping control "surge" pricing for more affordable electricity.

Europe's economy is strong. People are generally happy. Employment and health are good.

AND Europe is steadily decreasing the carbon intensity of its economy. Canada should follow suit.

Countries are phasing out dirty coal power plants.
Will Canada join them? or continue this polluting technology.

Exporting Methane (marketed as "natural gas") to the world market might sound like an exciting business opportunity for oil and gas companies.

What will it mean if those prices affect the prices Canadians pay?

According to the International Institute for Sustainable development.

Canada spent 0.16 per cent of its gross domestic product
(GDP) on fossil fuel subsidies compared to 0.06 per cent on
support for renewable power on average between 2020 and
2023.

Uh hey Alberta?

Fighting climate change is like golf. You want a low score on CO2 pollution, not a high one.

Surely British Columbia (BC) is leading the way on climate action in Canada.

(I will not say LNG, I will not say fracking, I will not say oil tankers, I will not say pipeline, I will not say outdated building codes...)

Here is a chart.
