My 70 something parents use their e-bikes to go on 40 km rides with their friends.
E-bikes are life-extenders, leisure-extenders, and enjoyment-extenders for so many people.
It is not cheating to get more fun out of your day and ensure you have the oomph to come home at the end.
Danielle Smith decided to open Pandora's Box in order to keep her separatist supporters at bay. Now the rest of us have to contend with the forces that she unleashed. #abpoli #cdnpoli

It is not the increase from 89 to 91 that is problematic. It is this part of the motion. Throwing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission (and all of their work) and instead creating a new committee of MLAs with a new advisory panel.

a chart showing fossil fuel decline

I need to check the numbers but.....this rate of fossil fuel decline in the power system is actually a pretty bad outcome for GHGs
17 TWh of fossil power in 2035 is somewhere between the CPS (the pro-fossil scenario the US lobbied for) and the STEPs (no new climate policies). Not great at all!!
Asia is the last remaining region in the world where absolute fossil generation is higher than absolute renewable gen

charts showing a drop in coal and gas use globally and in china and india
It's taking a long time, but honestly we cannot be all that far from an actual, sustained, and probably irreversible shift towards year-on-year fossil fuel declines (rather than a plateau)
Note: this is GENERATION, not capacity. This is huge news.
As always: a thread on highlights from @ember-energy.org Nerd Easter global power sector data review!
With lots of good news, some noticeable kinda bad news, and a few things I think are missing from the picture. TY to Ember, this is such a valuable piece of work
Lennox said that while academic researchers are not going to draw a straight line to U.S. financiers or MAGA influencers, “any common-sense reading of that report would understand it to be for an influence job.” “I think if you just look at it more broadly, it suggests that there is very clearly an American-led attempt to normalize and amplify the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st state of the U.S. annexation. And the co-ordination effort is so obvious.”
Bad-faith actors are spreading separatist propaganda in Alberta through lies and amplified grievaneces.

It will soon be a week of almost non-stop fires after repeated attacks on the Russian refinery in Tuapse.

"Now, clean electricity transmission could take the pipelines' place. Carney has an opportunity and a responsibility to ensure the future is built differently: powered by renewables, grounded in Indigenous rights and designed to deliver lasting benefits to communities across the country."
Canada's political soil provides particularly fertile ground for left wing populism. To a greater extent than at any other point in my adult life, the Liberals and Conservatives have ideologically converged & are mostly fighting over the aesthetics of their shared agenda.

"But the story is not as rosy for Canada, despite its long history in non-emitting sources of energy like nuclear and hydropower. Solar and wind, now the cheapest forms of energy, account for just under nine per cent of electricity generation in Canada, well below the G7 average of 19 per cent."

I don't know if ABs should laugh or cry at this "satire"... it's so close to the truth it's almost hard to call it satire!!!
One part it is missing is a bottom row:
