To power half of the US with wind we would need more than a million turbines. Each 2 MW turbine requires almost 1,700 tons of material, including 1,300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fiberglass. And on top of that rare minerals too. In total that's 3.7 trillion pounds of raw material. Mining for these materials is one of the most polluting industries on the planet, all for a turbine that will wear out in 15 to 20 years. And it's not just the turbines themselves, billions of tons are needed for transmission lines and batteries. This isn't a 'green transition,' it's an endless and expensive cycle of mining and rebuilding for no discernible benefit.

I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen. Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor. My wife says, "Get it out." I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet. The children back into the hallway. I tell them it's a rescue. I tell them fences are fear. I tell them cages are barbaric. I tell them the old rules were cruel. I tell them it will domesticate in time. Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles. When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming. Anyway, that's Western migration policy.

Decarbonized steel? Mélanie Joly is trying to rationalize spending hundreds of millions of dollars on making steel 'greener'. "Um, we know that, uh, right now, Europe is asking for, uh, much more, uh, steel sector that is, uh, with a lower, uh, carbon emission, uh, footprint." Are they asking for it? Can we see an agreement with a request and a premium price offer?

This script of Carney’s is exhausting. He is endlessly trying to look like “the smartest person in the room” with them. Even on Canada he couldn’t give a natural authentic speech to Canadians. He had to pull out the usual tired lines. And who is he kidding? There has been no other political party in the history of Canada that has divided our nation & the people more than them.

Canada’s GDP grew 0.5% in April, beating the 0.4% forecast and marking the fastest monthly growth since July 2025. That’s on top of a 0.1% gain in May. Second quarter is now tracking toward roughly 2.3% to 2.5% annualized growth, well above the Bank of Canada’s own 1.5% projection. Growth was broad based too. 14 of 20 industrial sectors expanded. Oil and gas led the charge with a 2.9% jump, the sector’s best month since February 2024. Manufacturing, construction and transportation all posted gains. Remember the recession headlines a few weeks ago? Two quarters of contraction had people ready to write the obituary. Economists are now calling that a false alarm. BMO’s chief economist said it outright. I told you so. The Canadian economy is not as fragile as the doom posting suggested. Still sluggish, still facing real headwinds from U.S. trade policy, but grinding along!

Five years after the heat dome that killed 117 Vancouverites - what we’re doing where we’re failing

The World Meteorological Organization confirmed a shocking Arctic record: 38°C, or 100.4°F, was measured in Verkhoyansk, Russia, on June 20, 2020. The heat came during a severe Siberian heatwave that fueled wildfires, sea ice loss, and temperatures far above normal, showing how rapidly the Arctic is warming.

A dangerous 'double heat dome' is preparing to merge over the United States, bringing the first widespread major heat wave of 2026 to millions. Meteorologists warn that two separate high-pressure zones—one over the Southwest and another over the subtropical Atlantic—are on a collision course. By the Fourth of July, they are forecast to unite into a massive heat dome over the central U.S., pushing heat indexes past 105°F (41°C) from the Great Lakes down to the Gulf Coast. This sprawling 'lid' on the atmosphere will compress and heat the air below, trapping intense humidity and offering virtually no relief. Public health experts caution that this prolonged weather event carries severe risk, particularly because overnight temperatures will remain unusually high, hindering the body’s ability to recover from daytime heat stress. This lack of nighttime cooling makes the heat dome especially hazardous for outdoor workers, older adults, and those without air conditioning. Federal hazard outlooks have already flagged extreme heat risks across the South, Mid-Atlantic, and Northwest, urging holiday travelers and residents to take immediate precautions. source: Berardelli, J. (2026, June 25). Two heat domes will combine to form big US heatwave next week. WFLA-TV.

@DrJStrategy Well maybe. He still is bedazzled by utterly useless Carbon Capture, actually listing it as an “Energy Source” and is still ignoring the fastest, lowest cost method to meet his electricity generation goals . . . NatGas CoGen plants He better get a move on

The Carney Pivot. Mark Carney is finally getting on with it. After a decade of Canadian climate debate defined by abstract targets, consumer carbon taxes and jurisdictional trench warfare, Ottawa now has a prime minister willing to treat energy policy like an industrial strategy rather than a morality play. What matters is that Carney recognizes the world has changed. Deglobalization, great‑power competition and capital‑intensive decarbonization have turned energy affordability and security into hard constraints, not optional add‑ons. In that context, a significant pivot was not only inevitable, it was much needed. Carney has now delivered a coherent strategy that admits near‑term emissions will be higher, even as Canada doubles down on the infrastructure required for a low‑carbon future. The balance here is deliberate. Canada will lean into its oil and gas endowment, backed by pipelines and CCS, while pushing nuclear and a trillion‑dollar electricity build‑out. That is a bet on both competitiveness and credibility: keeping households and industry afloat today, while investing in the system that can hit tomorrow’s climate goals. Now comes the hard part: implications for pricing of Canadian barrels, grid and reactor capex, fiscal trade‑offs, and Canada’s role as a reliable supplier to democratic allies. But for the first time in years, if not decades, investors and provinces have a framework grounded in realism rather than wishful thinking. This is a significant pivot and the right one.

@globeandmail A low dollar is a good thing to liberals. Now liberal friendly foreign investors can come buy up Canadian infrastructure like ports and airports taxpayers are currently funding to fix up.

@sdkassis Palestinians are the illegal settler descendants of the Arab Muslims who invaded Israel on 673AD and remain to this very day living as illegal settlers on the land they stole. Truth

Apparently birth on U.S. soil is not enough for citizenship, but never setting foot in the Middle East is enough to claim someone else’s home in Palestine as a “birthright.” The issue was never legality but was always whose belonging gets protected and whose gets denied.
