@Gerashchenko_en What's the point? It would be tremendously expensive and it wouldn't generate any significant economic activity.

@MichaelEMann Keeping the tabs on the tabby cat.

@C_S_Skeptic They're two different species, Sardina pilchardus and Clupea harengus. Your confusion comes from the fact that in Canada, canned herring is often sold as sardines.

@YvanDutil Merci de me le signaler. J'ai donné l'entrevue il y a une dizaine de jours.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@ggong @mzjacobson I like the way you frame it. Inertia as a side effect vs deliberately created inertia. That sums it up.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@YvanDutil Surtout parce que le RCP 8.5 n'a jamais eu beaucoup de sens. La quantité de carburants fossiles exploitables n'aurait pas permis de libérer autant de carbone. Les climatologues avaient travaillé sans consulter les géologues.

@clashreport That would be less than 75,000 barrels per day. It is marginal at best and it's a decrease, not an increase.

@bobthebobnes @jackprandelli Desalinination is a thing, but it provides drinking water, not masses of cheap water to support a thirsty industry.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@bobthebobnes @jackprandelli Or perhaps the oil industry will call it quits. Because if you have to build solar to get the energy to desalinize water for the oil industry, you might as well use solar directly and forget about oil. This is a mess and business as usual won't cut it.

@clashreport How exactly do you destroy uranium? It's atoms. They can't be destroyed. The most you can do is to dilute to reactor grade and then use it as fuel. But it cannot be done in Iran if it's supposed to get rid of their reactors. Trump negociators don't know what they're talking about

@picharbonnier La gauche n'a fait que taper sur les jeunes hommes en brûlant tous les ponts. L'écoeurement est tel qu'appuyer des connards comme Laurent ou Tate est maintenant perçu comme un acte de résistance et de dignité. Renouer le dialogue ne sera vraiment pas simple.

@PaulNeau Québec: 46%.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@mercoglianos Including the territorial waters of Oman and the UAE? That's a provocation. I wonder how these countries are going to answer.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@Gerashchenko_en I've been following Ukraine, and your account, since February 2022.

[Philippe Gauthier @ChatHaret]

@picharbonnier Mince! La République te nomme chevalier? Faut-il vivre dans une monarchie pour être nommé citoyen?

@C_S_Skeptic The movie will be called "The wolfing of Wall Street".

@dorfman_p This part really made my day: "To put it bluntly: SMRs compete in an economy that no longer exists."

@LessardMario3 @YvanDutil @PrimeauGilles @frog10113 Un petit réacteur au thorium? Nous ne sommes pas près de voir ça.
