A new renewables revolution. A boom in increasingly cheap household batteries has cut gas use by a quarter in Australia and enabled electricity prices to fall by 10% in parts of the country. Bring them on here…..

Renewables are unstoppable. BNEF's New Energy Outlook for this year says solar is set to be biggest source of electricity in 2032 and wind second biggest in 2034. Both coal and gas displaced from those thrones. This is the business-as-usual scenario.

🇨🇦"The long-awaited agreement between the federal government and Alberta was promised to strengthen Canada’s competitiveness and the effectiveness of key climate policies—but is, in reality, a step backward, says @RachelSDoran.

🔌📈Canadian EV sales jumped 75% in March compared to the same month last year.
“The anecdotal evidence that Canadians were increasingly looking to go electric was strong, but today’s numbers are unmistakable," says @joannakyriazis.

This is the most deeply researched piece on the state of First Nation land claims in BC (including the land thefts that sparked them) I've seen yet.
Focuses on metro Vancouver, but is emblematic of the province:
25 FN's here have filed title claims, but none are pursuing court action. All are negotiating instead. Remember when everyone thought the feds handed the whole city of Vancouver over to Musqueam? Yeah, no.
Hats off to @Gordon_Hoekstra

🇨🇦⚡️📉 Canada’s EV market may be turning a corner on its biggest barrier: cost. New data from J.D. Power shows the average EV now sells for $49,500, the same as the average vehicle, regardless of powertrain. #cdnpoli#EV

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row
Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar
Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels
Notably missing at #bcleg last night for a vote was @JohnRustad4BC — I've heard he has in fact left to go on holidays to France in the middle of the session.
Unless he plans to vote remotely (and I suppose theoretically he could) the NDP retain a majority w/out Joan Phillip.
NEW - @PoliticalCptl is going DAILY.
