“Energy Matters”

Ottawa is going nuclear in a big way, putting almost $1 billion into building a new reactor at Darlington, near Toronto.

It’s a move that has been years in the making and comes with plenty of controversy — as well as prospects to test a new low-emissions technology to generate electricity, and enough power for 300,000 homes.

It’s the latest sign that Canada’s climate change commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050 will have to be a voyage full of political compromise and big bucks that come not just from government but from the private sector.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank will announce on Tuesday that it is lending Ontario Power Generation a total of $970 million to prepare the ground for Canada’s first small modular reactor, with the goal of having it up and running by 2029.

The future is not Solar Powered Unicorn Fart Turbines. Anyone who suggests Nuclear has no place is an idiot, irradiate them.

SMR’s and lots of them must be part of the solution. Those electric cars are not gonna run long on Pride Parade Power. Hell we already know EV’s aren’t sustainable on a large scale, they’re just window dressing to fool a gullible public into going along with the program of deliberate impoverishment.

Most Canadians who pay for natural gas or electricity can expect their bills to rise by between 50 and 100 per cent on average this winter, according to one energy analyst.

Some consumers could see their bills rise by as much as 300 per cent while others could see minimal increases, but the overall trend is clear, says EnergyRates.ca founder Joel MacDonald.

Most of what will drive up the cost of home energy this winter is the rising price of natural gas, which generates 8.5 per cent of Canada’s electricity.

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government has been criticized for not paying attention to the shifting shadow of tyranny, far less responding to it.

Chrystia Freeland was consequently dispatched to a think-tank event in Washington on Tuesday to offer the most holistic take yet on the government’s new worldview.

Environmental activists are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to endorse a dangerous and misguided “fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty” ahead of the COP27 climate summit in Egypt.

They want Trudeau to tell Canadians and the world that ongoing use of Canada’s oil and gas is an imminent threat to human society as bad as the atomic bomb.

I’m sure Junior the Genius thinks it’s a swell idea and it’ll be signed as soon as no one is looking but in the meantime he has Freedo yapping about “energy security” and “friend-shoring” in an uncertain world… it reads like re-election campaign sewage. I would not trust a word uttered by anyone connected to this corrupt Liberal party.

World will likely continue facing a ‘tyrannical Russia’, Freeland warns

Canada’s deputy prime minister urged the world’s democracies Tuesday to confront the hard economic truths of a perilous new world order and seek common cause in the shared values of prosperity, energy security, protecting the planet and free and fair trade.

Chrystia Freeland delivered an eloquent obituary for the relative peace and stability of the 33 years between the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and Russia’s “barbaric violation” of Ukrainian sovereignty in late February of this year.
