Canadians in 2060 may well curse Carney as they read these words from history.

"Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the pipeline would also create 140,000 jobs across the country and bring in about $100 billion in government revenue by 2060.

“Canada has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become a global energy superpower,” Carney said in a news release Thursday. “To create hundreds of thousands of good jobs. To transform our economy. To diversify our trade. To become less reliant on a single trade partner.”

@John
You know, we have the technology to build better #roads with built-in water drainage (this was successfully trialled in the ACT ) but these were vulnerable to heavy truck traffic. In other words, we have to build roads that are resilient to heavy haulage because our rail system is inadequate. Such heavy-duty roads are bloody expensive and vary in costs with the underlying geology.

I wonder if railroads are in fact cheaper to build and for moving freight (most likely) which could then be coupled with smaller lorries for last mile(s) deliveries less damaging to our roads. But I guess the #FossilFuel lobbies are not big fans of rail.

It’s not like we don’t have answers to #potholes. And while any form of haulage is expensive, the real issue here is *where the money ends up*. Follow the money, as they say.

Speeding fossil fuel vessels are shredding whales in their habitat.

"Whales on Australia’s ‘humpback highway’ are at growing risk of injury from boat and propellor strikes. Gruesome images of adult and juvenile humpback whales along Australia’s east coast with slash and gouge injuries from boat and propeller strikes highlight what experts say is a growing problem, as the population booms 60 years after the ban on whaling."

"One in 10 Australians have a boat licence and of the more than 970,000 registered boats, more than half a million are in Queensland and New South Wales...Globally, most collisions go unseen and unreported”."

"Experts say cutting speed limits for all vessels moving along migration routes, and making boats and ships more aware of the riskiest places and times of the year, would help." >>

Fossil fuel subsidies are the ‘worst energy policy in the world,’ researchers say https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/09/fossil-fuel-subsidies-are-the-worst-energy-policy-in-the-world-researchers-say/

Dal 2028 il prezzo di carburanti, gas ed elettricità potrebbe salire perché ci si aspetta che le aziende produttrici riverseranno sui consumatori il maggior costo che dovranno pagare per poter inquinare secondo il nuovo sistema ETS2.

L'UE ha previsto un fondo che dovrebbe aiutare i cittadini a sostenere questa spesa, ma pochissimi stati membri hanno presentato il piano per tempo.

⚖️ #ClimateJustice - Every #FossilFuel project comes with the same defense: Our emissions are a drop in the ocean.

That defense can and should be countered. A new open-source tool, the Carbon Impacts Tracer, turns a projects emissions into estimated real-world harm.

Later, re #FossilFuel news:
Lauren on Marinvest's pipeline project in #quebec "People be like 'It's part Indigenous owned ?????' . . . Check out Janelle Lapointe [re] the ways that Indigenous communities are oftentimes . . . coerced or strongarmed into buying into these projects."

Mitchell Beer: "Communities understand full well what's being perpetrated. & it's STILL the best deal available to them . . . In the climate community there's real nervousness, as there should be, about showing up as settlers, often who are living pretty comfortably, saying 'You shouldn't do that. We know better" . . . The convo I'm starting to hear that I really appreciate is, an LNG plant, or a pipeline, or a small modular nuclear reactor to the Williams Treaty Nations in Ontario, or a #nuclear waste dump to the Wabigoon [Lake Ojibway] Nation in Ignace Ontario, that's the best we can do? That's about settler society."

Wichtige Konferenz der @umwelthilfe: #SystemfrageGas! Zentrale Botschaft: Wir haben uns viel zu lange abhängig gemacht vom #fossilfuel #Gas, und machen dies immer noch! Der Erfolg (wenn man wirtschaftliche "Entwicklung" als Erfolg interpretieren möchte!) basiert auf einer zentralen Lebenslüge, nämlich dass es jemals billig und ohne Folgekosten beliebig Gas verfügbar gab. Aktuell noch Panel 1 mit viel Inputs zu #Industrietransformation und den Zukunftsenergien #ErneuerbareEnergien.

What have polluting fossil fuel companies to do with the home of the koala?
Is Australia too poor to afford national parks?
What happens to conservation after a 'logging ban'?

* "The Great Koala National Park (GKNP) is planned to span 476,000 hectares running inland of Coffs Harbour, south to Kempsey and as far north as Grafton, and was a key promise from Labor during the 2023 state election."

"The NSW government plans on generating carbon credits by ending logging in 176,000ha of state forests set to become part of the GKNP." >>
