A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.

Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”

I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”

What an inspired f-bomb appropriate rant! Alberta deserves better and conservative voters know it.

Please don't screw us again in the next provincial election. You've had your crack at it for two terms and what do we have to show for it?

The thumbnail isn't rendering, but this show about fighting planned obsolescence is worth a listen.

'Consume less' is sometimes overlooked climate solutions, but a huge part of it is fighting to retain the things that we have instead of being forced to buy a newer model.
