Nobody that I know is saying a hybrid system isn't a good one. Renewables outpaced all other systems in the 'new build' category in 2025. It is the future, but until storage is more efficient, hydro, nuclear and fossil fuels will be a required component. Renewables will, like all things in a market driven economy win on cost. Fossil fuel subsidies world wide are enormous and far in excess of renewables.

@blemmy @JoshYoung @SenatorBrophy @guardian All being funded by NGOs which a wind/solar/battery axe to grind. Wind/solar/batteries are the most expensive energy known to man and cannot stand on their own without vast subsidies. One cannot run a civilization on them as UK and Germany are currently demonstrating.

Denmark "soured on Solar" because it's a bad idea in the current form beyond a certain scale. Solar is not "green" or "clean" - but it has been a fulcrum for government intervention, redistribution and fraud. I've been talking about this for years, good to see some waking up.

@MikeHudema Oh look a really heavy tax payer subsidized industry is booming. If you heavily subsidized any industry its going to boom. The problem no one ever answers is: If renewables were so good and cost effective why wasn't companies doing this without the subsidies.

Solar is set to overtake generation capacity of all other power sources by 2027. In three years, it will overtake gas. In four years, it will push past coal. And it's creating jobs as it does it. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

@JaymzAFish @blemmy @adammocklerr Since 2021, these have been reduced to about 16% (the same level as Germany). Total defense spending is a different matter altogether. The U.S. is constantly involved in wars or initiates wars on its own. It is clear that the U.S. incurs significant expenses for this purpose.

Ships arrive when there is sufficient product to fill them. They don't sit at the wharf waiting to be loaded. You made the point that ships take 10 days to load. You know nothing about business. No operator pays wharfage and demurrage for 10 days to load a ship. The pipelines work at capacity and ships are scheduled so that they can be loaded quickly. How old are you? You seem very immature and not very aware of the ways of the world. This is a waste of my time. I have better things to do. I'm out.

@blemmy A Bank of Canada study shows 40% of Canadians capable of reaching top 1% U.S. earnings have already left for the United States. Another 30–50% of the next tier? Also gone.
THE OFFICIAL RECORD@SatireSquadHQ

Those Who Can Leave Canada Are Leaving.—The Rest Will Pay the Price. The Bank of Canada Just Confirmed It Canada finally found a way to boost exports. It’s exporting its best people. A Bank of Canada study shows 40% of Canadians capable of reaching top 1% U.S. earnings have already left for the United States. Another 30–50% of the next tier? Also gone. Not the struggling. Not the average. The youngest, most educated, highest-earning Canadians many in their prime working years are leaving. And the economy is noticing. GDP per capita has barely grown in a decade while the U.S. surged ahead. Canada has now fallen below the OECD average for the first time on record. But don’t worry government is growing. Spending has climbed from 38% to 45% of the economy. Programs expand. Costs rise. Results… pending. It’s a simple model. Lose your highest producers. Keep your highest costs. And then act surprised when growth disappears. “We need to attract talent,” policymakers say. We already did. They just left. And those who stay? They’ll likely spend the next decade working harder for less paying more into a system that keeps growing, and delivering less back. Because when the people who drive growth leave, what’s left isn’t just slower. It’s poorer.

I don’t know why everyone is worried about the LNG market. Canada is HERE TO BACKFILL QATAR’S LOST VOLUMES. If we start today, and work all-out around the clock, in just a FEW SHORT YEARS Canada can confidently deliver a preliminary environmental impact assessment. After that it’ll just be a couple of hundred weeks before the indigenous consulting is complete after which the ascension to final decision by the federal environment minister can take place. When the federal agencies make their decisions, we can FINALLY BEGIN provincial permitting. This won’t take long, and once provincial permitting is complete we just have to execute a short 5 year ecosystem monitoring study. After that, when we submit final plans to the provincial government, we should be GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD a very comprehensive community information pamphlet for the mandatory 720 day public comment period. When the public comment period is complete, and the final investment decision is reached, it’ll be SHOVELS IN THE GROUND on the local fencing needed to secure the site for 2 years to give migratory species enough time to change their patterns. Once migration patterns are changed, and the final hazardous emissions diffusion studies are complete, the community is consulted, and all permits are obtained, CONSTRUCTION WILL BE UNDERWAY on the monitoring systems needed to ensure that no local Salmon population feel personally slighted by any new infrastructure. While this sounds like an arduous process, it’s TOTALLY necessary to ensure Canada remains carbon-competitive. Have no fear all those that may be unable to heat their homes in a few short weeks, Canada is here to deliver ENERGY SECURITY TO THE WORLD… unless it impacts the livelihood of one single snail, then you’re on your own kid.

I have provided a numeric table to clearly prove my point. I have asked for proof to support your position because there is no documented evidence. It's quit simple. It looks like another case of the loud mouth, not very bright Yank, with a lot to say but no facts. You're a lot like your president.

@kyochan_fr @blemmy @adammocklerr One of the main gripes about NATO is the U.S. pays for most of it. You not knowing that proves you don't understand the topic, which is up to you to remedy.

@blemmy @adammocklerr There's easily found, common knowledge about the United States paying 2/3rds of All NATO expenses for most of its history. It speaks volumes about you, not knowing this.

@JaymzAFish @adammocklerr Develop an understanding. Do your own research. What was your source when you indicated my cost sharing arrangement within NATO was incorrect?

@JaymzAFish @adammocklerr You're backing away from your point. I've ask you specifically for your source to indicate that my information was incorrect. Stay on point. Do you have a source or was it just your bullsh!t opinion.

@JaymzAFish @adammocklerr I’ve proved my point. Do your own research. I haven’t checked pre 24. That’s all the info on the NATO website. What was your source suggesting that the US payed 100%. I would be interested in looking at that.
