The BC NDP using an idling bus to try to drown out #FrackFreeBC activists as Premier Eby and the new cabinet arrive at Government House for the swearing feels on brand for a party that goes to extreme lengths to ignore the fact that fracking can’t fit within our climate targets.

Under current policy and economic trajectories, oil demand is set to start declining this decade. Modelling from Equinor, bp, International Energy Agency and Rystad Energy show a range of decline of 17%-41% from 2019 levels by 2050.

More false advertising from FortisBC... If BC electrifies, 4 million of us can use heat pumps without electric backup, at 300% avg efficiency. Fortis' sensationalist claim is over twice the actual worst case power needs (+9 gigawatts) BC Hydro @CAPE-ACME @dogwoodbc #bcpoli

#CleanBC at work: Replace a heat pump water heater with a gas version, get $1000 (50x the GHG emissions, +1 tonne/yr). But no incentive at all for the low carbon option. Isn't the plan supposed to *reduce* emissions? Why subsidize gas? #bcpoli George Heyman Josie Osborne 🇨🇦

If we assume an 80% DOD and cycling once a day, that would deliver 339.6 TWh of electricity. How does that compare to nuclear? It’s the equivalent of 43 GW. (0.9 CF) Nuclear has never added 43 GW to the grid in a single year. Best ever was mid 30’s forty years ago. 4/n

Very impressed with #postmedia's new AI editors and their reporting on major energy projects like the "Coastal Gasoline pipeline" and "LNG Kitimat" Why pay staff when you can produce content like this on ChatGPT and funnel the rest into million-dollar C-suite salaries?

For the first time, spending on energy transition technologies appears to have caught up with fossil fuels supply investment, even as the global energy crisis led to an uptick in the latter.

Inside the high-dollar race to sell natural gas as low-carbon in a warming world. Part one, out today, of a two-part series I've written for Canary Media. I think it’s an important read. Part two out tomorrow. bit.ly/canarygreengas

In 2022, China invested 11x as much money in renewable power as it did in coal Coal power investment has fallen by 60% since 2015 – while spending on renewables has nearly doubled Source: iea.org/data-and-stati…

If you're wondering why people think that vehicle-to-grid technology could play a major role in system-level energy: There's 10x+ more storage capacity shipped in cars than in grid-tied stationary batteries.
