@RazzberryYams Vancouver based Greens will tell you that Hong Kong does not have enough "missing middle". I haven't been to Hong Kong....but I have been to Phoenix... Yikes!!
@JorgeLeCabron@Issherai@ericnuttall The problem is that the ICE did not really become more efficient quickly enough for staying power in North America. The masses of 4cyl 4x4 pickups disappeared for the easy marketing of towing capacity & horsepower
@markknickle83@TilmannScholz@ericnuttall Lol. We're piecing the puzzle together with (hopefully) all the pieces but no puzzle box. I love a good metaphor. But you're right, it's all we can do and hopefully we get the picture mostly correct
@Lars57360069@garquake Not if oil/gas/coal companies are nationalized or forced to change their business models. This climate thing is a reality, and oil/gas/coal companies cannot operate without taking into account the societal desire to reduce carbon emissions
@Lars57360069@garquake Not particularly more "buffoonery" than his predecessor. O&G extraction has high environmental costs and oil products should be priced accordingly. If oil companies make bank on the way out for the next few years.... then so be it. It's circumstances, not planning....
@Big_Orrin@mmkschro@ThomasKuipers83 Canadian oil producers need to figure out how to embrace ESG on neutral terms. The #com could consider a paradigm shift. Cdn O&G would be wise to "lease" large tracts (timber licenses) of old growth/primary forest as a goodwill carbon capture. #loftygoals
@betajunkie@NatureCanada Uhhhh....sure. I've been to every corner of BC - even was a shareholder of WFP. Lands that have been logged are classified as "industrial". But again, there is no point in this discussion if you don't value wilderness for the sake of wildernesses.
