Green-Scam

Norway’s Havila Krystruten is one of two shipping companies that sails between the coastal cities of Bergen and Kierkenes and says that it will no longer carry electric or electrified vehicles on its ships following the results of an external investigation.

The company mostly carries passengers and goods on the route, but now says that it will only carry private vehicles with internal combustion engines. Havila Krystruten cited fire safety as the main reason for its decision.

While Canada moves to get gas-powered vehicles off the road, lawmakers in Wyoming have gone in the opposite direction and are calling for a ban on electric vehicles.

The bill, introduced into the state legislature on Jan. 13 by Senator Jim Anderson and other Republicans, supports phasing out the sale of new electric vehicles in Wyoming by 2035.

For decades, we’ve been told: Recycle!

“If we’re not using recycled paper, we’re cutting down more trees!” says Lynn Hoffman, co-president of Eureka Recycling.

Recycling paper (or cardboard) does save trees. Recycling aluminum does save energy. But that’s about it.

The ugly truth is that many “recyclables” sent to recycling plants are never recycled. The worst is plastic. Even Greenpeace now says, “Plastic recycling is a dead-end street.”

Hoffman often trucks it to a landfill.

Japan is at risk of losing the race in all-electric vehicles (EVs). And that poses a danger for southern Ontario, with its three Japanese auto plants.

Among the 35 models in Bloomberg’s latest ranking of the best performing EVs only three are Japanese vehicles.

Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s biggest automaker, concentrates on hybrid vehicles, which it pioneered with the first gas-electric Prius a quarter of a century ago. As do most Japanese automakers.

Bear in mind that Toyota among others are not sold on EV’s as the future. No one should be, that is no one who hopes to own a personal vehicle. EV’s are a pipe dream.

Toyota’s CEO Still Not Sold on EVs

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda is still pushing his company’s interest in hybrids and hydrogen. And he says many in the industry agree with him.

The Trudeau government has been running around throwing money at virtually anything that has an Electric-La-La-Land sticker on it.

We’re late to the EV game but that may be a blessing assuming saner heads prevail and recognize that EV’s are nothing but a con job. 

I have a sinking feeling that the only carbon reduction Canada will see thanks to Justin’s nonsense will be all that cash leaving the country.

The only things that have ever significantly reduced Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are recessions.

It’s happened twice in the modern era — during the 2008-09 global recession that started with the subprime mortgage derivative scandal in the U.S., and during the 2020 global recession caused by the pandemic.

Lucky old Americans. They only had to put up with one fruitcake as president, in Donald Trump. It could have been worse. But for a few hanging chads in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election, they could have ended up with Al Gore.

It isn’t just the hanging chads, though, that have become unhinged, but Gore himself. In an extraordinary speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, an increasingly crimson Gore angrily berated the rest of the world – Greta Thunberg and other youthful activists excepted – for failing to realise just how close we are to climate apocalypse. ‘People are familiar with the thin blue line which astronauts bring back in their pictures from space,’ he began. ‘That’s the part of the atmosphere which has the oxygen and it’s only 5 to 7 km thick. That’s what we are using as an open sewer.’
