"German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that the plan "combines independence, affordability and climate protection.........It is not just extreme weather events around the world that demonstrate how urgently we need to do more to protect the climate," he said. "If the situation in the Strait of Hormuz determines whether people can still afford their daily commute to work, that is not a good state of affairs."
If there's been an upside to the Middle East War, it's that it's been a giant advertisement for renewable energy. Not just cheaper, cleaner, & better, crucially it means energy-independence, too.
Smart move by Germany. Their industrial and manufacturing base is getting clobbered by China because they stuck with the dying fossil fuel paradigm for too long. Every other EU nation has committed to ending fossil fuel use, hopefully this further accelerates their efforts, too.
Germany sets out plan to phase out fossil fuels by 2045
I don't understand your comment.
I'm referring to Mark Carney, Canada's prime minister, and his plans to increase oil production and plans to build pipelines across the country to deliver oil to Asia and Europe when everybody's already planning their transition away from fossil fuels. Canada and the U.S. are way behind and China is way ahead of the curve. Europe is somewhere in the middle. It's only a matter of time.
Canada should be investing in green energy alternatives, but we got this MAGAt of a premier in Alberta who wants her province to become the 51st state so she can go eat the shit out of Donny's diaper-wearing ass.
Europe is accelerating it's fossil fuel exodus. Asia has already trailblazed alternatives.
By the time these pipelines, and terminals, and refineries are completed how much of a fossil fuel economy will be left?
Sure. But that's not the problem I'm seeing with this plan.
That's what I'm saying. It's pointless. Injecting money into these projets will ruin Canada's economy essentially.
