@westmm4028 @brianlilley lol, source CATO institute…no one will take you seriously. The CATO institute is a far left institute. This has been debunked 1000 times already.

@mapleblooded My wife’s dad was the same…inherited a boat load, retired at 40, drank it all away. Had to buy the last of his inheritance off him before he blew that too. Brutal.

@TW1TTERJAIL @RapidResponse47 @SecretaryBurgum Just buy the oil company stocks that will benefit. American companies making money means tax dollars for the government! Means employees that make money, it means supporting businesses. Your tweet was really dumb.

.@SecretaryBurgum at the Pikka development on the North Slope, says Alaska will play "a huge role going forward in the major shift in the geopolitics of energy." "It is 8 days from Anchorage to Tokyo, and most of that is along the Aleutian Islands. That's all U.S.-controlled territorial waters... vs. right now, a country like Japan getting 92% of their oil from the Strait of Hormuz, and it can be a 30, 35-day trip on a good day—or maybe not at all."

The CBC "prank show" deception scandal is getting so much worse. The producers (operating under fake identities/fake company names with fake websites) told a number of RCMP veterans - people who dedicated their lives to serving on the frontlines - that they were invited to film for a show called "Life After Service." A ceremony to thank them for their service would follow, and they were told dignitaries would be present. This would take place at the CBC Vancouver studio. They were told to come in uniform. When the RCMP vets arrived at the CBC Vancouver studio on March 25th and 26th, the "pranksters" took their phones away, which they claimed was CBC Vancouver studio policy. The former RCMP officers were also placed in front of an audience of what they were told were about two dozen "journalists." And it was sprung on them that this was a "live broadcast", with "media availability" afterwards! Then the producers switched up the whole session to be not about life after service, but the historical wrongs committed by the RCMP against indigenous peoples - to berate these vets for being part of the RCMP. There is so much more but I am hoping the individuals targeted in this elaborate scheme will be able to share their stories themselves. Seriously, what even sounds remotely funny or silly about this concept? It is just sick and cruel @CBCNews and @APTNNews... what are you thinking?

@KmodoKev @chillbrobaggins @MarcNixon24 Yeah, I didn’t expect him to respond. To respond would only be to have to acknowledge that the liberals made this mess (that’s an understatement) and the conservatives have been right all along about this. Better to pretend you didn’t see it!

@chillbrobaggins @MarcNixon24 What was the law called that bans the oil and gas industry from saying positive things about itself? Maybe get rid of that one while we are at it. Then admit they were wrong and say sorry. The world will start listening if they admit who stupid they are!

@chillbrobaggins @MarcNixon24 Start proclaiming from the roof tops Canadas oil and gas are for sale. Have meetings with the countries we turned away under Trudeau. This isn’t hard. Something tells me you didn’t want actually actionable items, you just wanted to be a stick in the mud!

@megbasham Meh, if I go walking through any mall on a Saturday I would see 10 women more attractive than her in an hour. Women are not great judges of what men find attractive. No one is launching a ship for her, let alone 1000!

Oh my gosh to the dumb dudes posting an unflattering still shot of Lupita from 12 Years a Slave to supposedly prove she's not pretty. Stop it. She's obviously attractive (to my mind, she's very beautiful). That's not what this is about.

Megan Basham@megbasham

For the record, I think Lupita Nyong’o is incredibly beautiful. I mean she has a nearly perfect face. The issue is that Helen of Troy was Greek and described as fair and Musk is almost certainly correct that Nolan changed her race to fulfill the new diversity standards the Academy requires. And we should whine about that. It’s death to art.

@Poobearthebold @patristic_typos @Eschatology22 It’s interesting, I have noticed that Dispirs and flat earthers share something in common. As long as they have an answer to your question/objection they are satisfied, doesn’t matter how bad the answer is, that’s not important.

@DrJStrategy It’s amazing we put perameters on our product they no customer cares about making it cost our producers more, and then celebrate that we added extra costs to a product we can sell all we have of already. We call it a win, we are retarded!

Food for thought. Canada’s Resource Superpower Moment. Canada is not short of resources. It is short of permission to use them. That may finally be changing. The Smith-Carney bargain is practical, overdue, and politically shrewd: a Pacific pipeline and Asian market access in exchange for carbon capture and emissions discipline. It is not a textbook first-best. It is something more useful: a way out of paralysis. Voltaire warned that “the perfect is the enemy of the good”. Lipsey and Lancaster later gave that instinct an economic foundation with the theory of the second best: when the ideal outcome is unavailable, the best policy may require compromise. That is Canada’s energy problem in one sentence. The first-best policy is obvious: build pipelines, move Alberta crude to global markets, and stop selling a world-class resource at a stranded-barrel discount. But Canada is not a first-best country. It is a federation of regional interests, regulatory bottlenecks, Indigenous consultation obligations, climate politics, and national-unity constraints. In that world, carbon capture is not the prize. Market access is the prize. Carbon capture is the bridge. Western Canada Select recently traded at a discount of about $15 per barrel to West Texas Intermediate. Some of that is quality. Much of it is captivity. Alberta sells too much oil into a North American system where U.S. refiners enjoy the power of being the dominant buyer. A Pacific pipeline changes the game. It would not erase every discount, but it would create a new marginal bid from Asia and, eventually, perhaps Europe. Commodity markets price at the margin. Once Alberta has another customer, U.S. refiners lose part of the captive-supplier discount. Market access reprices the basin, not just the barrels on a ship. The math is blunt. If the WCS discount narrows from $15 to $10, producers gain roughly $5 per barrel. If it narrows to $8, they gain roughly $7. Even if carbon capture costs producers $2 to $4 per barrel after subsidies and credits, the trade can still work. Captivity is more expensive than carbon capture. That is why the Smith-Carney approach matters. It turns carbon capture from a symbolic climate exercise into a practical instrument of market access. Done right, with verified emissions reductions, Indigenous participation, private capital, and real pipeline milestones, it aligns climate credibility with national development. That is not capitulation. That is statecraft. In a world where energy security is paramount, Canada is finally beginning to make industrial policy embrace its own competitive advantage. Yes, it is about time. But there is no time like the present. Democratic allies need secure energy. Asia needs reliable supply. Europe has learned the cost of dependence. Canada has what they need. The alternative is not ideological purity. It is continued paralysis. Canada has spent years debating whether to be an energy power while others captured the investment, market share, and leverage. This bargain says something different: build, decarbonize where practical, and sell to the world. The asymmetry is telling. A U.S.-bound project dubbed “Keystone Light” is not being treated like the Pacific pipeline. Existing southbound flows face facility-level emissions rules, but no barrel needs a carbon-capture passport at the border. The Pacific route is different because it is a national market-access bargain: Ottawa gets climate cover; Alberta gets tidewater; Canada gets leverage. Carbon capture is not magic. It does not solve downstream emissions or justify blank cheques. But as a first step from paralysis to infrastructure, it is worth taking. Resource superpowers are not built by wishing politics away. They are built by getting things done. Canada has tried paralysis. It is expensive. This bargain may be the beginning of something better.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Today’s agreement between Canada and Alberta will diversify our exports, reduce our emissions, and give investors the certainty they need to build.   Together, we’re building a stronger, more prosperous, and more sustainable future for all.

A massive new hyperscale data center project called Stratos is planned for Box Elder County, Utah. If built, it would demand up to 9 gigawatts of electricity, more than twice the total power consumption of the entire state. But the real shock comes from the waste heat. According to Utah State University physics professor Robert Davies, the facility would generate an additional 7 to 8 gigawatts of heat, creating a total thermal output of roughly 16 gigawatts concentrated in one location. That energy release, Davies calculated, is comparable to detonating 23 atomic bombs per day in Hansel Valley, a high desert basin near the shrinking Great Salt Lake that naturally traps heat like a bowl. The project’s energy footprint would also be roughly equal to that of 40,000 Walmart Supercenters. Local temperatures could rise by about 5°F (2.8°C) during the day and a staggering 28°F (15.6°C) at night. Ecologists warn that such dramatic warming would stress an already fragile ecosystem, worsen toxic dust from the drying lakebed, and disrupt plants, wildlife, and water resources. As the backbone of artificial intelligence, data centers are essential for every AI query, image, and training run. The Stratos project now raises a critical question: Can the massive infrastructure behind AI expand without permanently transforming, and overheating, the communities and landscapes where it’s built? ["‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake." The Salt Lake Tribune]

People like this are why it's so easy to make money. They genuinely can't comprehend what a complex system (the global economy) is, & how it functions. @BarnettforAZ let me help in 2 lines of math: Current global oil demand: 98mil barrels/day. Global supply: 90mil barrels/day.
Josh Barnett-AZ@BarnettforAZ

I’m tired of people saying it’s a global marketplace. There are absolutely zero supply issues right now with other areas of the world stepping up.
