The @OntarioNDP leadership @MaritStiles may soon have trouble continuing to oppose the nuclear power that keeps Ontario's lights on. This pro-nuclear resolution has been approved by the grassroots members in at least 8 riding associations, and @theONDY

The scale, industrial clustering and vertical integration of Korea's nuclear supply chain that can be seen from this areal photo of Doosan's Enerbility site is astounding. This facility takes scrap steel in one end and ships reactor pressure vessels and steam generators out the other from an onsite port facility. If this looks impressive I can only imagine the scale in China.

@Dr_Keefer @avilewis His grandfather David Lewis wrote a great book "Make this your Canada." It's a call to industrialization and construction for the benefit of our population. Does Avi not believe any of this?

The correct response to the current energy shock is essentially to double down on Energiewende policies according to @avilewis. Europe dug itself out of the 1970s oil shocks with 54 nuclear reactors built in 20 years in France, the North Sea offshore oil and gas developments of the UK and Norway and Russia’s pipeline diplomacy Ost-Politik with the Soviet Union. These policies created near energy self-sufficiency by the 1990s. Cheap energy made Germany an industrial powerhouse that even largely weathered the China shock of de-industrialization of the early 2000s. However this bounty led to a soft generation of leadership swimming in luxury beliefs. In the meantime, these decadent leaders divorced from physics, production and the factory floor, allowed and even encouraged these energetic foundations to wither on the vine. The nuclear phaseouts were perhaps the most egregious example of this phenomenon. Now Europe consumes 38EJ of hydrocarbons but only produces 6EJ and it needs a whole lot of gas to power through its weeklong periods of wind drought (Dunkelflaute) and its dark winters. Energy illiteracy was survivable for a political class living blindly off the bounty of the infrastructure our grand parents built in response to the 1970’s oil shocks. It will not serve champagne socialists like @avilewis in our current energy shock.
Avi Lewis@avilewis

We're in yet another oil shock. It will produce yet another inflation crisis. Another recession is likely. It's a great time to remember that actually...the future is electric! We need to invest in Canadian security, stability, and energy independence. Renewable energy is the cheapest, safest and most resilient way to power our economy. Nobody ever invaded a country for its wind or sunlight.  theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Prime Minister, We are the only G7 country without a strategic reserve of oil. Other countries are profiting by releasing 400,000,000 barrels from their stockpiles, and we have none stored up to offer. Let’s build a Strategic Energy & Minerals Reserve to give us strength at home with unbreakable leverage abroad. Read my letter 👇

@HarrisBerton @MatthewWithy @cadlam Experiment? We don't need to build $ billions of useless infrastructure as an "experiment". Solid analysis forsaw all the problems - this is the whole point of having educated people. No more "policy by experiment" please.

@MatthewWithy @cadlam It was a useful experiment, would have been a lot better (i.e. less wasteful) had they done it like Germany where they ramped down the contract prices every three months based on market research.

They seem to have neglected to mention that this FIT 1 project is receiving $713/MWh. Projects like these are the reason 85% of the wind and solar contract costs were moved from the rate base to the tax base with the "Renewable Cost Shift".

@HeerJeet @ettingermentum David Orchard ran inside the Fed PC party for leadership on a platform of warning against free trade. Was stabbed by Peter McKay. Ran a non profit called Citizens Concerned About Free Trade, and wrote a book describing the dangers. Also wasnt a drunk.

Ill bite: PLEASE keep the CPP payments. We will call it fair exchange for us not paying ANY of Canada's debt. Lol. The exchange rate will be fair market value which I believe is 70 cents on the dollar. With all the federal taxes gone that's a pure win. Alberta will still have laws. We dont need ottowa for that or anything for that matter. Lol. Weak sauce fear mongering there bud.

Why is nobody asking the Canadian proponents of Canada as 51st state the obvious questions? 1) do you think you will keep your CPP contributions? 2) what exchange rate is USA offering for your $CAD savings? 3) you think you will maintain property and voting rights?

Given that some top Alberta separatists have openly admitted to meeting with the Trump Administration, I think we are looking at what could be an immense bait-and-switch effort underway. In effect, the often legitimate concerns of many Albertans are being weaponized by those who are promoting ‘independence’ as a way to address those concerns, all with the intention of then using Alberta’s isolation after ‘independence’ to set it up for annexation by the United States. People would vote for what they think is going to be the status of a sovereign nation, only to be forced into the United States against their will. Further, such annexation would likely not be as a state, but as a territory. Albertans would have zero say in national leadership, contrary to Alberta’s place right now in Canada. Remember that recent Canadian Prime Ministers, including Stephen Harper and current PM Mark Carney (born in NWT but raised in Alberta as an Albertan), are from Alberta, and Alberta has significant seat-weight in Parliament that is set to keep growing as Alberta’s population grows. Alberta would be trading an important role in Canada for a total loss of political power and influence in the U.S. Further, Alberta would go from having around 12% of the national population in Canada to having about 1.4% of the national population in the U.S., an immense loss of sway. This bait-and-switch possibility means that a vote for Alberta ‘independence’ may really be a vote for American annexation of Alberta – something the overwhelming majority of Albertans oppose.

Honeywell CEO: Renewables replacing fossil fuels is physically impossible - Energy mix doesn’t matter - Energy intensity matters - Renewables can’t produce energy-intensive products In other words, the push for renewables is a push for deindustrialization of energy-intensive industry.

The Globe and Mail published an article by Ivey Biz School [Enviro] Economist Brandon Schaufele. Writer aside, there's a lot not to trust in Ivey entities, and the Globe. My worry is that this is not actually unsolicited advice to the Ford gov't, but a campaign by it 1/8

Inside the @NDP over a dozen ridings have approved a pro-nuclear resolution so far. There is a good chance it will be debated in the floor in March at the convention. This follows the @OntarioNDP adopting a pro-nuclear resolution this summer. #canpoli
Edgardo Sepulveda@E_R_Sepulveda

⚛️🍊UPDATE - we have confirmation the following riding associations have endorsed this resolution: 1. Red Deer (AB) 2. Huron-Bruce (ON) 3. University-Rosedale (ON) 4. Ottawa-Vanier-Gloucester (ON) 5. Davenport (ON) 6. Oakville East (ON) 7. Wellington-Halton Hills (ON) 8. Spadina-Harbourfront (ON) 9. Kitchener Centre (ON) 10. Hamilton Centre (ON) 11. Kildonan-St. Paul (MB) 12. Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshoren (ON) There are likely more ridings that have endorsed it, but we are not aware of. Others will do so before the January 27 deadline..... LFG!
