Green taxes

If consumers supported the EV market as much as the green lobby imagines they do, there would be no need for such punitive mandates. City hall would be well advised to explore the impact of these measures on the overall power grid too, but that might also conflict with certain magical narratives.

Vancouver city hall is reportedly looking into a new policy fixated on gas stations that fail to support electric vehicle (EV) charging. If passed, gas stations will incur an annual fee of $10,000 for failing to provide EV charging stations.

…gas stations must provide 50 kilowatts of charging power. This would be enough for a single DC fast charger. Additionally, parking lots must provide a minimum of 26.6 kilowatts, enough for four Level 2 chargers. These can typically provide between 20 to 50 kilowatts per hour.

 

Gas Price Watch

I couldn’t find an equivalent map for Canada but this one of America is interesting:

Now Biden has banned all Russian oil imports. Any word about increased oil production in North America. Nope.

This, combined with a newly “fortified” election this November and the dwindling flame of Western democracy will be extinguished.

“as 5 new American projects, including expansions to existing facilities, are to be greenlit in the next 2 to 3 years”

Jas Johal;

If you think the vandalism and violence witnessed at the CGL pipeline isn’t an economic hostage taking, similar to the yahoos who shut down our border crossings, give your head a shake. Let’s look at how hard and fast Canada has fallen when it comes to LNG investment.

The US was behind Canada when it comes to LNG planning a decade ago. Now it has lapped Canada many times. While we struggle to build one large scale LNG plant, the US and world have moved on.

In response Its not rocket science. This is an example of many Gofundme accounts they operate & continue to receive funds from to pay for illegal activity. Millions have been raised over the last decade by Eco Activists. They use our language& sacred terminology to get taxpayers to send money

Fake Garbage- The Ultimate Irony

Patrick Moore, PhD – The great Pacific garbage patch twice the size of Texas is fake

Of all the fabricated narratives about the environment, this one takes the cake. Yes, there is plastic in the oceans, mostly discarded fishing gear, but there is no island of plastic waste twice the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Because the average person cannot see the middle of the Pacific for themselves sensationalist activists, media, and politicians just make this up. In fact, plastic in the oceans is doing far more good than harm. Allow me to explain this bold assertion.

Green Utopia

At the Glasgow confab, Justin unveiled a whole host of ideas for destroying an economy. When confronted with the obvious problem that some nations not fully committed to economic suicide might gain an advantage over those that are, Justin is proposing a special tax that he believes can somehow convince the recalcitrant few to put a gun to their own head as well.

[Trudeau’s] government has begun consultations exploring the idea of imposing “border carbon adjustments” to ensure a level playing field, where imported goods are subject to the same carbon costs as domestically produced goods.

Trudeau pointed to aluminum as an example of the problem, arguing that Canada has invested heavily in producing “some of the cleanest aluminum in the world” but is competing with cheaper aluminum produced elsewhere “in dirtier ways with significantly lower labour standards.”

Pet Peeve

One of the things that I hate with a white hot passion in this world are paper straws. I don’t even like to look at them. And now Tim’s has made them a central part of a massive full saturation ad campaign. I see them everywhere.

BTW- All I care about is the food and it’s been going downhill since my childhood. Paper straws don’t make a stale donut taste any better.

And Just Like That, Protests Are Cool Again

From reader RM, via email;

The intersection of Georgia and Granville sits on one of the busiest thoroughfares in and out of Downtown Vancouver. Describing this location as the “heart” of the city would not be an overstatement.

Yesterday, my wife and I happened upon a small group of protesters who had occupied this busy intersection to draw attention to the “climate emergency.”

Rather than clearing the intersection and arresting those disrupting the free movement of people and traffic, the Vancouver Police Department had instead deployed dozens of officers to secure the perimeter of the protest and effectively provide security for what would otherwise be considered an illegal blockade.

I asked one officer how many personnel from the police department were on hand, and his response was “a lot.” I then mentioned that there seemed to be more police officers than protesters at the event, and asked him if it was fair to say that the police department was the biggest participant in the protest. He had no response.

See attached images for reference. This country is a joke.

Yes, it is.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Ignis Envirosa

How environmentalists destroyed California’s forests;

Right now I’m seeing the mountains I grew up in — where I went to school, where I hung out, camped, backpacked, boated, cheated death and generally formed the foundation of my character — burning down. It makes me sad and angry.
 
This didn’t have to happen. Once upon a time, forests in California were logged, grazed, and competently managed. It wasn’t always perfect, but generally it worked.
 
Fires, which are a natural part of that ecosystem, were generally small — not just benign but beneficial. Land management focused on keeping the forest healthy for all involved, whether they were loggers, ranchers, fishermen, hunters, homeowners, or backpackers.
 
But then things started to change. Groups such as the Sierra Club and National Resources Defense Council began to drive a myopic agenda of protecting environmental interests at all costs. Logging was shut down. Grazing was banned. Controlled burning and undergrowth clearance were challenged and subjected to draconian regulations. Fires were put out as quickly as possible.
 
So the trees grew closer and closer together. Undergrowth, unchecked by grazing, cutting, or burning, grew thick and tall enough to reach the branches of mature trees.
 
The forests became thick and overgrown, but man, they sure looked nice and green from a scenic overlook.
 
Sawmills shut down and the cattle business went elsewhere. Thriving towns dried up and nearly went under. We started importing lumber and beef from Brazil and other places with objectively horrible environmental track records. And the vegetation kept growing.

The Green Gestapo

Are coming for us.

The authors, who are all University of Exeter professors, advocate fines and imprisonment for people publishing “climate misinformation” online. They justify their call for imprisonment by claiming tremendous harm from “misleading information that is created and spread with intent to deceive.”

“Organic” is The Latin Word For “Grown In Pig Shit”

Following neonicotinoid insecticide ban, UK canola growers ask government to cover crop losses

Since the ban on neonics, the UK area of oilseed rape has progressively fallen year on year.
 
What’s more, following an epidemic of cabbage stem flea beetle last year, many growers are choosing to move away from the crop [in 2020]— leaving some saying that the future of the crop is now at crisis point.
 
This was reflected in the recent AHDB Early Bird survey which revealed that the UK forecast area is down 32% on 2019, and could pose a real threat to production, explains Chloe Lockhart, combinable crops advisor at the NFU.
