Fly The Net Zero Skies

CNN:

• Heathrow closed: London’s Heathrow Airport is completely shut down because of a power outage due to a large fire nearby, causing massive disruption at one of the world’s busiest travel hubs. The fire is now under control, but Heathrow’s backup power supply was also affected.

• Thousands impacted: Heathrow’s closure is expected to affect more than 1,300 flights. An airline analytics firm estimated that “upwards of 145,000” passengers could be impacted, and Heathrow is warning of significant disruption in the coming days. Trains around Heathrow have also been disrupted.

Of course: Heathrow had diesel generators for emergency back-up if the grid went down. Sadly they removed the back-up a few weeks ago in order to meet Green Energy targets.

Coulda’ Had A Pipeline

The tariff war with the United States could have been very different if Canada had decided to build the Energy East and LNG Quebec pipelines over the past decade, according to a new study by the Montreal Economic Institute.

In 2023, Canada exported 97 per cent of its crude oil to the United States.

A Carney Con?

Sun- Carney’s carbon tax ‘cut:’ Nothing more than smoke and mirrors

Here’s the truth: Carney didn’t repeal the carbon tax. He didn’t scrap the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, which is the legislation that gives the federal government the power to impose and raise the carbon tax whenever they want. All he did was press pause. The infrastructure is still in place. The federal government still holds the power to reinstate the tax at any time — and raise it to whatever level suits their political needs.

Even the CBC panel isn’t buying it.

The Backfiring Sparky Car

Many more such incidents resulting in “lost value” and there will be no economy left capable of generating any value at all.

The Legault government has poured $270 million in Swedish parent company Northvolt AB, and Fréchette confirmed this sum “has lost its value.” The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has also invested $200 million in the company.

Quebec granted Northvolt a further $240 million for the purchase of land in the Montérégie region. This sum is secured by collateral on the land and assets of Northvolt’s North America subsidiary, Fréchette said.

Would A Tax By Any Other Name Smell As Sweet?

Sun- Carney isn’t killing the carbon tax

What he actually says he is going to do is to fold Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s fuel charge (a.k.a. the “consumer carbon tax” on 22 forms of fossil fuel energy, including gasoline and natural gas) into an “improved and tightened” existing cap-and-trade regime covering large industrial emitters, known as the output-based pricing system (OBPS).

Cap and trade is a carbon tax by another name, although less visible to the public.
