Stephen Harper stacked their board with conservatives a few years back. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/orphan-wells-alberta-aldp-aer-1.5089254 70 billion, that’s a lot of taxpayer money. Bwahahahahahaha!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Garett Shrode with the Eno Center for Transportation said that approach has its pitfalls because “80% of electric vehicle charging happens at the home and not at public chargers.” It’s definitely something the iceholes have trouble getting their brains around. Home charging saves far more time and money's than any of the inconveniences associated with road trips. Because of the overnight surpluses of electricity in Ontario some places only charge 2.4 cents/kw. Less than 1 cent per mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making laws against one is foolish. I’d rather have solar in my backyard than a pipeline anywhere near me or up river. It’s even worse for you because congress got paid off to pass a law limiting oil industry exposure for their spillS and explosions. Meanwhile those hippies in California noticed a significant drop in hospital visits due to respiratory illnesses after widespread adoption of Ev’s. You may have missed that story while you were reading about all the ev fires. https://thehill.com/policy/equilibrium-sustainability/3841203-california-neighborhoods-with-more-evs-see-better-air-quality-public-health/ Edited October 15, 2023 by revkevsdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s part of the reason their air quality sucks in the first place. But it’s good that even locally higher adoption of Ev’s can make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
