Energy & City evolution. All forms... All day... All night... tree/stem

@douglasritz @EnronChairman It's a bit more complicated than that....

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@EnronChairman CDN oil producers should be buying up tracts of old growth for carbon sequestration. I'd be buyer of such a company...#takemymoney

@garquake Don't often agree with your political positions, but your research efforts are "X" gold. Much appreciated 🙌

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@RazzberryYams @planning416 Fair enough. I just miss their take on Toronto planning and politics. Thanks for the response!

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@RazzberryYams what ever happened to @planning416 (Planning Nerd from the Six)?

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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!!

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@RazzberryYams BRT should always be considered temporary. Nobody likes to be in traffic - driving or not!

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@EnergyCredit1 @POTUS Absolutely. Thank you again for your generally non-partisan commentary!

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@RazzberryYams I'll bite.... How so?

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@a4_alpha @joemama48072123 ...do we always have to make this partisan or hyperbolic? 🤔

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@EnergyCredit1 Always appreciate your partisan free (or reduced) analysis! I can take some of this to the water cooler...

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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....

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@SenWhitehouse It always blows my mind whenever I visit Texas as to how much renewable energy the state produces. It's the #energy state....

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@Big_Orrin He even built a pipeline "for them"....!

[Douglas Ferr @DouglasFerr2]

@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.
