Because Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil, Ukraine has only one choice and that is making exporting oil as difficult as possible, therefore massive attacks on oil infrastructure like in Novorossiysk. The scary thing for Putin, he doesn't seem to be able to defend against these attacks.

Random prediction, the USA is going to attempt to permanently occupy Iran’s Kharg Island oil facility using these 2000 marines.

Alternate Headline: “Trans Mountain doubles exports in 2025 resulting in 82 million tonnes of CO2 to atmosphere.”
The news dutifully omits the CO2 impact so here's the math:
There is 2.79 tonnes of CO2 in 1 tonne of average crude oil.
2025 exports: 24.4 million tonnes
= 68 million tonnes of CO2
Oh, but that's not all!
Alberta oil emits about 85kg of CO2 for every barrel of oil produced.
24.4 million tonnes of crude is 176 million barrels
Another 14 million tonnes of CO2!
Yay Canada!

Nice map which explains that oilshortages will start in a few weeks, not everywhere, some parts of the world will be fine.

I work from home (so don't commute), haven't daily driven a guzzolene car in 6 years, and primarily get around by bicycle between April and November. I still feel empathy for people who feel trapped into paying $75 for a tank of gas for their Camry, though. I feel more empathy for people who are trapped by a $300 /mo WE Energies bill. We really need to get out of using fossil fuels in this state.

A little dated, (2019) but still an excellent article/study here of global oil supply flows and uses. Informative for perspective on events during the #IranUSAIsraelWar
Charts show flows of crude oil, flows of natural gas, and use by industry of the same.
12-17% of crude oil and natural gas is used for “non-energy” process. (ie. not for burning directly). The other 88-83% is burned. #CO2

It's not just killing a wind project - it encourages massive investment in #OilAndGas - This is a #ClimateCrime. When will the parties involved be charged with criminal negligence, death resulting sorts of charges? ALL the parties involved know (or should have known) what the ramifications are…

It would be a tragic, horrible irony if the way we got to a renewable energy future is by oil soaked countries and their genocidal, idiotic leaders and hangers on destroying themselves in a final desperate act to secure the entire thing for themselves.
But that would also be entirely human.
We need to have a long and honest talk with our Albertan and other Canadian oil friends and convince them that we need to get out of this sphere as fast as possible for our own safety.

Here is a future I never considered until this moment.
There is a timeline where Canadians are defending against an invading force in part to prevent that force, or anyone including Canada itself, from extracting its fossil fuel resources.
We would be defenders of not just Canada, but a stable climate.
This is the future Putin, Trump, and others are pushing us toward.
Where is Mark Carney on that?

While oil prices increase battery prices go down.

If we had a national oil company instead of being overrun by Texas oilmen and their Albertan sycophants, maybe we'd be able to redirect some of this temporary profit into... oh I don't know...
reducing national food prices…
building affordable housing…
funding the transition to renewable energy and electrification.
But oh, I see the only two options are: "increase production" or “take the money and run”.
Great.

I hate this timeline.
As a long time #climate campaigner... I almost feel like I should be hoping that the Iran/US war continues as long as possible so the price of oil and gasoline can go as high as possible and force economies to electrify and shift at emergency-speed to renewables.
We could have started on this the easy way 30 years ago... but a few of the same people objected and obstructed.

Dear Liberal partisans: “we can’t do anything about this chaos Trump is creating” is a bad look, and also completely untrue and a cop out.
Things you can do *today*
1) food and gas price controls
2) food and gas rebates/grants
3) EV, solar and wind mandates and grants
4) direct investment in electrification of fossil fuel transport and infrastructure, today. Move all existing projects on the books up to start asap.
These are just some of the things that could directly and immediately help Canadians through #theAmericanFascists oil wars.
Acting like it is 1975 and we just have to stick it out because there is no alternative is a cop out and makes you complicit.
Either we are different, or we are along for the sick ride. Which would you prefer?

There is something darkly poetic about the Straits of Hormuz opening on the same day Japan coins a new official word -- “kokushobi” -- to describe extreme hot weather days.
