I love the snow. I hope we get lots more because we definitely need it. Anyways, you know what’s not around when it’s snowing? Smoke. Winter looks better and better these days.
I just started reading about Fortescue dropping a pretty ambitious decarbonization project in Australia for their mining ops just a couple of months ago - 10,000 hectares of wind and solar farms. They need 2 to 3 GW of renewable energy and storage to get out of fossil fuels for their mining business. Guess it wasn't economical to get and build the infrastructure in the Western Australian desert.
I just want to see some serious analysis on the math on BC and Canada's current and future energy needs for its citizens, versus the needs of proposed "green energy" export industries.
Well, you sold me on the book. Wow.

I had to stop at the hydrogen project that will "would take roughly all the energy that Site C will produce". What the what?
*goes off to read a bit on Google*
So how does using a huge chunk of the green energy, that we are very much predicted to need, to produce green energy FOR EXPORT make any sense?
At the tender age of 53, I'm reeeeeallly starting to hate on this capitalism thing...
That caught my eye too - I had no idea that the energy requirements were so high! I'm going to have to dig into this more too.
