Earth is headed for a sixth extinction, warned biologist Paul Ehrlich on “60 Minutes” this Sunday. And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he’s a leading expert on the issue.

“The real issue Mr Toyoda has opened up is this: Western societies are charging into the electrification of transport and heating without actually providing the electricity. This cannot be wished away.

In January, the then secretary of state for trade, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, told Parliament that “we are going to be requiring up to four times as much electricity” to meet demand for electrified heating and transport. Yet we are not building four times as much electric generation capacity.”

Nothing more horrifying than a chirpy Energy Secretary tweet first thing in the morning. Especially when it contains the trifecta of bad news for taxpayers from one of the denser members of the Biden administration’s stable of lackluster cabinet mannequins…

As we enter a new year, it’s worth remembering that Canada is amid-sized economy that relies heavily on international trade forits prosperity. But what exactly does Canada sell to the rest of the world? Which industry sectors drive the exports that play a vital role in sustaining our country’s high living standards?

OTTAWA — Earlier this year, the first fully electric vehicle built in Canada rolled off an assembly line in Ingersoll, Ont.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford were on hand as GM’s Brightdrop division rolled out an electric delivery van and announced a major order from courier company DHL. Getting GM to make the van in Ingersoll, and keeping the 400 jobs there came at a cost of over $500 million split between Ontario and the federal government.

A VERY EXPENSIVE, VERY BIG LIE.

Lawrence Williams’ first winter as the new owner of an electric vehicle went well. Unfortunately for the Beacon Hill resident, this winter isn’t looking as good.

Do you really want EV’S in your underground parking? If one goes up they can burn for hours.

Five years ago I took the plunge and became a minivan owner and I’ll never forget what the shopping experience told me about electric vehicles (EVs).

We bought the minivan because it was what our growing family needed at the time. I was originally hoping to get an SUV—cooler than a van!—but the storage and seat arrangements just didn’t fit our requirements.

There’s a new venture taking place in a large, nondescript warehouse in Kingston, Ont.: Lithium-ion battery recycling. And it could be an important component of Canada’s net-zero future.

The facility, owned by Canadian startup Li-Cycle, houses stacks of depleted lithium-ion batteries that not long ago would have been destined for a landfill. The company is giving them new life — recycling the batteries that power most electric vehicles, phones and laptops.

… Starting in 2023, Li-Cycle will send the black mass to a new facility it is building in Rochester, N.Y., where it can separate the black mass into valuable battery-grade materials to be used to make new EV batteries. Li-Cycle says the plant will be the first source of recycled battery-grade lithium carbonate production in North America.

Kochar said his company can recover 95 per cent of those critical minerals needed to make new EV batteries, and the process can happen repeatedly.

Ontario plunging into energy storage as electricity supply crunch looms

Ontario is staring down an electricity supply crunch and amid a rush to secure more power, it is plunging into the world of energy storage — a relatively unknown solution for the grid that experts say could also change energy use at home.

Beyond the sprawling nuclear plants and waterfalls that generate most of the province’s electricity sit the batteries, the underground caverns storing compressed air to generate electricity, and the spinning flywheels waiting to store energy at times of low demand and inject it back into the system when needed.

Both these articles on the CBC site read like Green-Scam Tech Advetorials passing as journalism.

A government agency in Germany announced plans to remotely limit home heating and charging of electric cars under a new scheme.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency, a watchdog that regulates electricity and gas in the country, said the plan would allow the power grid operators to remotely limit people’s use of heat pumps and electric car chargers next winter without the user’s consent.

The plans, set to be in place by January 2024, will give energy grid operators the power to artificially curb electricity demand if consumption outstrips supply.

The sort of plan designed to be implemented only in a state of emergency … permanent emergency.
