““The reason that we want to help spread the word is two-fold,” said Amy Miller.
“People are interested in coming here to work in health care. Obviously, we’re so grateful to be here. But I want the community here to know that it’s working and to continue with that momentum. And I want to let people in the States know that this is an option, that it’s a real option.”

Uhoh... the beginning of some buyer's remorse perhaps for the folks who thought LNG was going to be the Great New Job Creator and saviour of Terrace BC?
"Mayor Sean Bujtas closed off debate by saying he had a problem with LNG Canada itself.
“LNG Canada boasted the cleanest LNG facility in the world and I don’t really think we’re there today,” he said. “And so the question is why, and when are we getting there? We have an air shed. You can only get it so dirty before it becomes a problem.”
“I’m confident everybody in Kitimat and everybody in Terrace is seeing something they did not expect to see at all,” Bujtas continued.”
Imagine that... a fossil fuel operation that has lied to the community, and is causing orders of magnitude more damage to the community and the global environment than they said on paper.

also found this excellent article about the motor developer, MagniX. It has some great technical info, delving into just how much more efficient the electric motors are compared to the piston and turboprop engines that they are replacing.
“a single magni500 Electric Propulsion Unit [the engine, inverter and cables], which weighs 185 kg… produces up to 560 kW. By comparison, the Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior SB engine replaced in the eBeaver weighed 290 kg (not including oil) and produced just 300 kW.”

Relevant to today's hand-wringing about jet fuel costs:
I was trolling around looking for an update on Harbour Air's eBeaver project (electric conversion for their DHC-2 "Beaver" commercial/passenger fleet) and the latest I have found and most comprehensive on the state of development is here.

"Carney says the world is facing an 'energy crisis' and Canada must help solve it”
How pray-tell will Canada help solve it, Mr. Carney. By building an oil pipeline in 10 years?
Take your nonsensical threats and....

the engineering article about the motors is super in depth, some of it way over my head, but they also compare the development of EV cars to planes and I get this... at least now... because it didn't occur to me:
Regeneration is great for cars!
Regeneration is a BIG NO for airplanes! Because if you glide and the propeller to regenerate power, you fall out of the sky. 😬 😂
so ya, none of that!
"Critically, one area the company worked hard on reducing was regeneration. At no point during flight, as well as descent, can the plane simply carry on under its own momentum while air drives the propellers to generate current. That would create a large amount of drag, and the plane would start to fall rapidly.
“Maybe a glider or UAV could do that, but not a passenger aircraft,” Armesmith says. “There are rules against it in aerospace, so we have to actively stop regeneration from being possible, it’s a fault we have to arrest,” Armesmith says.
“So, if we’ve either lost power or had to turn the motor off for any reason, the propeller needs to be able to windmill freely. We can’t have any electromagnetic resistance to the propeller free-turning owing to regeneration back into the DC bus.”
ya... glide good! fall bad! lol
I am very glad these very smart people are making it happen and a local company is right in there!!

Mother nature’s version of a double tap is a second wildfire at a town that was essentially burned off the map in 2021.
About the only good thing here is there are very few people impacted as most of the town has not been rebuilt yet despite all the initial hand ringing and nice words from BC politicians.

Massive sturgeon caught and released on the Fraser River near Vancouver, BC
11ft 8in (3.55 metres) and 1200lbs (544kg)
It is illegal to keep Sturgeon in BC. It is catch and release only. Would love to do this one day and see one of these amazing ancient creatures!

I guarantee it is worse in Canada, especially in BC.

We in BC and in Canada have this on our conscience as the world burns. Carney and Eby plan on doubling this facility and adding others.
Our governments, and by extension we, are not only complicit, but directly responsible for allowing this.
We the people are the only ones who can make it stop.
