#NativeAmericans are building their own #SolarFarms
By Lucy Sherriff, 4th December 2023,
Excerpt: "Having access to – and control over – their own power sources has birthed the term '#EnergySovereignty'. 'We want to have the primary role in the direction of our life,' says John. 'That sovereignty really embodies the spirit of a lot of Native people, it's our guidance in many ways.' "

The latest edition of the Statistical Review of World Energy (July 2026) shows:
"Renewables were the largest contributor to total global energy supply in 2025. China's approach, which includes an accelerated deployment of clean energy and stockpiling fossil fuels, reflects "a continued priority of self-sufficiency.""
No confirmations or plans from Ottawa for Canada's energy self-sufficiency to date.

Build the pipeline + they will come?
Bieler School of Environment, McGill University:
"In response to recent oil supply disruptions as a result of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Persian Gulf, many countries — particularly in Asia and Europe — reconsidered their over-reliance on fossil fuel imports and prioritized energy security by building out renewable energy infrastructure like wind and solar farms and turning to low-carbon solutions."

Is Carney pitching that Canada become more like Norway? Profits generated by oil & gas need to be used to help fund the transition to cleaner energy sources for domestic use.
"Norway long ago acknowledged its petroleum reserves wouldn't last forever and that it should use the revenues to diversify the economy. [They] are not exposed to risks of energy shock or decline in the oil markets the way that Canadians are."

Meanwhile, Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting 2026 to be one of the hottest years on record. Ontario and Quebec are currently roasting under a #heatdome.
PM Carney "also admitted that in prioritizing oil production, Canada is moving further away from achieving its climate targets and that emissions would likely be higher than forecasted."

PM Carney's mantra, "when we control our own energy, we control our own future" with 3 pillars of the "global energy crisis" laid out:
1) affordability of energy
2) energy supply
3) climate change
Former deputy chief of staff for policy in PMO under PM Paul Martin:
[Carney's] address was "more about plans to sell our oil & gas than about ensuring we have enough energy ourselves. We're not talking about Canadian energy security."
2/6
Is Canada really on the path to "energy sovereignty"?
Assistant prof, poli sci department and Bieler School of Environment, McGill University:
"Energy sovereignty typically, [is] about control over your sources of energy... in theory to provide some kind of guarantee for affordable energy or sustainable energy"
"The Carney government's interpretation of energy sovereignty seems out of step with other countries."

Australia Charts New Course for Fuel Security, Eyed by WWII Echoes
Australia launches a $3.2 billion plan for a government-owned fuel reserve to ensure 50 days of diesel and aviation fuel, the first since WWII. Find out what it means.

Norway and the UK both found North Sea oil in the late 1960s.
Norway created a sovereign fund. It is now worth £1.6 trillion -- roughly £270,000 per citizen.
The UK spent the receipts. There is no fund. There never was.
Meanwhile, diesel hit 185p a litre in Castletown on Sunday.

Bellingen urged to swap diesel for electric buses as fuel costs soar
“Every bus running on Australian-made electricity is a bus that isn’t dependent on the strait of Hormuz, isn’t spewing exhaust into our communities, isn’t contributing to lung cancer or childhood asthma, and they’re so much quieter – for commuters and communities alike.” >>

TL;DR if battery technology and price continues its current trajectory, households will be able to store all the electricity they need at a price that is similar to the solar panels on the roof in just a few years from now. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/09/how-big-a-solar-battery-do-i-need-to-store-all-my-homes-electricity/ by @Edent

"Renewables are not only cost-competitive vis-a-vis fossil fuels but are advantageous by limiting dependence on international fuel markets and improving energy security. The business case for renewables is now stronger than ever."
These green hydrogen projects are intended to decarbonise EU industry at the expense of communities in the global South and represent the latest chapter of neocolonial exploitation. They represent an externalisation of Europe's climate responsibilities #StopGreenColonialism #EnergySovereignty

In the shadow of a #nuclear plant, #PrairieIsland celebrates steps toward a green future
The Tribal Nation is about two years into an effort to cut its members’ energy costs with a solar field and other eco-friendly projects.
By Gustav DeMars, October 1, 2023
"Prairie island first contacted legislators in 2018 to get support for the project, Johnson said. It wasn’t until two years later in 2020 that Governor Tim Walz signed legislation greenlighting the project.
"The Prairie Island Indian Community reservation, which lies along the Mississippi and Vermillion rivers in and adjacent to Red Wing in southeastern Minnesota, is home to descendants of the Mdewakanton Band of Eastern Dakota.
"Johnson’s family had no electricity or running water until 1968, when the federal government built 12 homes in the community. Tribal members now live in about 150 homes. The reservation operates the Treasure Island Casino, which has operated since the 1980s.
"As the community has grown, so has the need for energy. Now built atop what was once an unused pile of sand dredged from the Mississippi is a mostly complete 5.4-megawatt field of #solar panels that Prairie Island leaders hope will be a step toward what they call 'energy sovereignty.'
"The solar field is not currently in operation; it’s expected to be up and running in early 2024.
"Energy has long been a topic of conversation for Prairie Island’s community, which sits in the shadow of one of Minnesota’s two nuclear power plants. In 1973, the federal government authorized construction of the facility less than a mile from the reservation.
"Over the years, many Prairie Island tribal members have voiced dismay that the plant and #NuclearWaste storage are so close to their reservation. In March, Xcel Energy agreed to increase its annual payment to the community from $2.5 million to $10 million to compensate it for storing spent nuclear waste near its land."

Been researching #urban #windturbines as the wind screams outside on this gloomy January day. Except for three days last weekend, we haven't had sun all month. Or snow. But whatever the temp, #KW is infamously windy.
#Alberta is in the middle of a #solar boom. Why can't we do the same with small wind in S #Ontario? Why are all the turbine companies European or American?
