  2. @avilewis strong disagree. Its time for gas to cost twice as much and for people to realize they need to stop buying cars that use it. Purchasing gas is the problem, not the price of it. Average Canadian drives 15,200km/yr = ~1300L of gas at average 8.5L/100km. Saving $0.10/L is not exciting. Saving the whole $1.75/L is. Stop driving gas-only cars.

    “We are in a race to #electrify our #economies. This is what future generations will judge us on.”

  10. It's truly a delight to see how many more e-bikes are roaming the streets of Seattle this summer than last year.

    Reminder: you could buy roughly 41 lovely Blix Aveny e-bikes ($1,700: 500W motor, disc brakes, front & brake lights, can handle hills) for the cost of the cheapest Rivian R1T EV. For the price of the cheapest Tesla Model 3 you can still buy 23 of them.

    Bonus: you'll actually learn to love your environment instead of sheltering from it in a luxury tank.

  11. Been weighing a concept for how to ethically transition to #renewables .
    In a logical world, we would just all use less. #Bike or ebike instead of drive if you can that sort of thing.
    We live in a world of #capitalism where supply and demand drive building of infrastructure and we NEED to #electrify everything with new renewables. So, is at this point, reducing electrical consumption, IF you have a green option for electricity, from the grid, actually going to be helpful to the planet? Would gobbling up as much green electricity to make the demand look higher cause more renewables to come online faster?

    I try and ride my #ebike. I calculated one trip is around $0.08 of electricity. My new #Nissanleaf costs around $1.20 for the same trip, $2.00 if from a commercial charger. IF my electrical source was green, should I be pushing myself to use my bike as much as possible or at this point use my car as much as possible until we reach a certain point and supply is enough that everything is now electrified that can be?

    None of my electrical supplies are 100% green so the point is moot and I should bike as much as possible, but the question is still interesting.

  13. @CarbonBubble

    I have come to the conclusion that the only effective way to eliminate #FossilFuels is to do it on a personal level. Reducing my carbon footprint is a lens through which every decision is filtered. It works!

    I know a lot of people who worry about climate change but never take steps to personally address the issue. Isn't it logical for us to actually live on the planet as if we intend to stay?

    Lifestyle changes, purchasing decisions, and other forms of reducing one's carbon footprint sucks the air out of the fossil fuel industry. This impactful movement is growing rapidly. While we lobby for governments to change the rules (which may never happen) we can change our lives, save money, improve our health, and move the needle toward a better world for all.

    No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

    Be the change.

    Our collective decisions matter.

  14. Politicians and corporations are doing all they can to prevent people from protesting fossil fuel projects. Though they can't stop someone from going vegan, stop flying and electrifying their home. Such actions we must take to protect our planet.

  15. Methods for a #sustainable culture must be scalable.

    #Biomass, e.g., #woodfuel, is often promoted as a sustainable alternative to #FossilFuels.

    Biofuel (biomass) advocates are not considering the upstream & downstream ecological or health effects.

    To obtain an equal amount of heat from wood fuel compared to FossilFuels, far more wood has to be burnt (landuse)

    Wood smoke causes acid rain & Carbon particles cause disease.

    Burning Carbon is the problem.
