@johl@mastodon.xyzAn oil company ad bragging how many tons of glacier they could melt seemed innocent enough in 1962, but it's a bit more sinister in the climate change era.

Top Free-Market Think Tank Unsure That Canada Needs More Pipelines
While Alberta premier Danielle Smith demands new oil corridors, the Macdonald Laurier Institute notes that pipeline capacity is currently ‘sufficient.’
This pro-oil and gas organization stated in an April report that there is currently “sufficient pipeline capacity” for western Canadian oil
@cai@mastodon.socialTony Blair is (a) clearly a lich and (b) recently worked/works for a Saudi oil company. Weird that the guardian didn’t mention either in this article.

@StephenRees@mas.toPut away pipelines, go with grids!
By David Suzuki with contributions from Senior Editor and Writer Ian Hanington
It’s good to see ideas such as increasing self-sufficiency and diversifying trade partners emerging in response to U.S. attacks on Canada’s economy and threats to our sovereignty. As usual, though, the fossil fuel industry and its supporters are taking advantage of this “crisis” to push for more oil and gas infrastructure, particularly pipelines.

@adlerweb@social.adlerweb.infoNach einem Brandanschlag auf ein Umspannwerk(?) in Südfrankreich ist dort das Netz teilweise zusammengebrochen. Zeitweise waren mehr als 160k Haushalte betroffen, u.A. auch in Cannes, wo grade das gleichnamige Filmfestival stattfindet.
Spekulation: Dürfte im Bereich Poste électrique du Biançon gewesen sein. Wichtiger Knotenpunkt mit 400/225kV und nem 20MW Wasserkraftwerk (Barrage de Saint-Cassien) dran.

@joe@toot.worksMy sister asked to borrow my pickup truck. I should probably go print out the temp plates and get the oil changed (it’s been ~30 miles and ~8 months since I last did that).

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca“An assessment of updated National Climate and Energy Plans (NECPs) shows the EU is on course to achieve a 54 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 - just one per cent shy of its legally binding 55 per cent target.”
Fun fact, if Canada joined the EU it would probably hurt it from an emissions reduction perspective because Oil and Gas.
“It attributed the progress towards the 2030 goal to action in the energy sector, with renewables covering 24 per cent of energy consumption in the EU in 2023. Most member states are now aligned with the target of reaching a share of 42.5 per cent by 2030, according to the Commission.”
Weird how they don’t mention LNG as being a reason why Europe has been able to meet its goals. Almost like renewables are essentially the only way to decarbonize the industry, just like the scientists say it is.
“States have a legal obligation to deliver climate action, and the Commission has a clear responsibility to uphold and enforce EU law in response.”
Imagine Danielle Smith whining about unfair laws…
Wonder how much #bclmg Europe will be asking for…
