It was an environmentally sustainable explosion though.

Stay the fuck away from EV battery fires!!!!

Many democRAT run states are banning motorhomes in the latest EV tyranny.

Yep, fucking California again!!!

Trudeau will copy them. And have a private plane just for all his racially insulting costumes.

Only the very poor and their rich prog overlords will live there by 2040.

Recent U.N. climate conferences, including COP28 in the United Arab Emirates and COP29 in Azerbaijan, reveal a troubling trend: Global environmental activists seem unbothered by the severe wealth inequality their policies exacerbate. These activists actively collaborate with state oil tycoons to secure their own gains, often at the expense of ordinary people.

The authoritarian regimes of the UAE and Azerbaijan epitomize this disparity. In Azerbaijan, the average GDP per person is about 18 times higher than the median income. In contrast, this ratio in Western nations typically ranges between four and five. These glaring inequalities underscore the cozy relationship between government elites and global environmental activists.

Climate alarmism remains a luxury belief held predominantly by wealthy elites, not ordinary people.

Trying to get to emissions free electricity is forcing us all to go food banks. It is one of the things that is forcing us into poverty.

Every time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he chose a carbon tax as the most efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as opposed to government regulations and expensive subsidies, he's spouting nonsense.

In fact, Trudeau imposed his carbon tax on top of government regulations and subsidies — part of 149 different government programs on which the Liberal government says it is spending more than $200 billion to implement.

Let's consider the impact of just one of those programs — the Trudeau government's clean electricity regulations, intended to reduce emissions in that sector to net zero by 2035.

As reported by The Canadian Press, the Ontario government is urging the feds to amend these regulations because, according to the province's Independent Electricity System Operator, they would cost the province an additional $35 billion to implement by 2050.

The controversy is over the use of natural gas, the cleanest burning fossil fuel, which is necessary to operate Ontario's electricity system efficiently because wind and solar power cannot provide base load power to the grid on demand.

As the clean electricity regulations are written, the IESO warns, it will be impossible to meet Ontario's need for 75% more electricity generation by 2050, to power the supply chain being created in Ontario for the electric vehicle industry, as well as the added power needed for the explosive growth in artificial intelligence.

Alberta is facing the same issue.

Premier Danielle Smith estimates the cost to the province's electricity consumers to meet the clean electricity regulations could be $200 billion to $425 billion.

That's due to the fact Alberta, unlike Ontario, doesn't have clean energy sources such as nuclear and hydro power to help defray the costs of the transition to green energy.

Smith says computer modelling suggests the costs to Canadian electricity consumers to comply with the clean electricity regulations could be $1 trillion to $1.7 trillion.

The underlying point, however, is that Trudeau's climate change plan has a lot more moving parts to it than his carbon tax.

I'VE DONE THE CALCULATIONS! It would take several THOUSANDS of Hoover dams to charge just a fraction on the cars in California if they all were electric. This doesnt account for the electric SEMI TRUCKS mandated by law either.

Progs who are forcing this shit don't know what the hell they are doing.

Playing political games with something as essential as power generation is sucidal.

The idea is to take away automobile ownership from average Americans.

Oklahoma hasn't had a single county vote for a Democratic presidential candidate in 24 years. Every statewide elected official is a Republican, and the GOP holds overwhelming 4-1 majorities in both legislative chambers. Former President Donald Trump carried the state by 35 points. Despite this staunchly conservative profile, Oklahoma's Republican leadership is allowing vital farmland and ranchland to be used for foreign land acquisitions tied to solar and wind energy projects. This move comes even as Oklahomans rejected the administration behind the Green New Deal. So what gives?

Last week, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced an agreement with Denmark's ambassador, granting a Danish company the ability to purchase large sections of land in Payne County. The company plans to build solar, wind, and biomass energy projects, along with transmission lines across farmland and ranchland in the heart of Oklahoma. Stitt's enthusiasm for these projects highlights his broader push for Green New Deal-style energy initiatives under the guise of creating jobs in the state.
