Wrong question, Peter. It should be: What should Canada do about the United States? We already have an Iranian foreign policy. We don't have a coherent foreign policy on mass civilian bombings with the goal of demoralizing a society. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Alberta’s oil and gas industry should be held to a fair methane standard For years, researchers and oil and gas engineers have suspected there’s a lot more methane being emitted than was being reported.

Alberta says it met its 2025 methane emissions target early.

But this claim relies on industry self-reporting. Independent sources disagree.

The truth matters, especially to communities on the front lines of toxic pollution.

"Because you can't just acquire their knowledge & skills overnight. Even if it may be politically desirable & attempts have been made w/ high investment.

We can see that there is not a single functioning, scaled battery project in Europe today, even though a great deal of money has been invested"

manager magazin:
"A local battery champion in Europe would be extremely important for the automotive industry"

Oliver Zipse:
"It would increase the number of potential suppliers.
However, I still think a 'Europe only' approach without involvement of established cell manufacturers is impossible."

A very interesting comparison.

And now Norway isn't dependent on one source of fuel to power its cars. The USA still is.

‘Smart underwear’ measures how often humans fart “Zen digesters” rarely fart. “Hydrogen hyperproducers” fart a lot. Scientists are investigating what is typical.

Breaking news!! literally. There are smart pants that can measure how much you fart!!! researchers realised we have no sense of whether someone is farting excessively cos we don't know what normal fart range is so they made pants that can measure this.... #Fart 🧪🧵

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
