@lindsaycrouse Thank-you for an excellent article, and a huge thank-you to Andie Taylor for her perspective. I'm inspired by anyone - male, female or trans - who can run faster than me :)

How about adding an "all-gender" award to races? Each gender (incl. trans) could be receive a weight?

We wrote about a significant challenge we see ahead for Canada’s CCS industry - pipelines! Just as the automotive industry relies on road infrastructure, the CCS industry will rely on pipeline infrastructure to move CO2 from where it is captured to where it can be stored

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

Our research suggests Canada's net zero economy will need CCS. But it could be a lack of CO2 pipelines that constrains development of a CCS industry. Early investment in shared pipeline infrastructure is critical to unlock this opportunity. Read more here: https://t.co/2VJiBfT99W

Our research suggests Canada's net zero economy will need CCS. There is a significant CCS opportunity in Canada, and not only in western provinces. Our net zero scenarios see development of a CCS industry in Ontario and Quebec as well. For more, visit: https://t.co/2VJiBfT99W

NEW RESEARCH! Our simulations consistently find that CCS will play an important role in helping Canada to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. For more, visit: https://t.co/2VJiBfT99W

To achieve Canada’s new 2030 emissions target, new vehicle sales will be increasingly zero emission. By 2030, our simulations estimate up to 45% of new passenger vehicle sales will be battery electric, and up to 25% of new heavy-duty sales will be battery electric or H2 fuel cell

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

Across >100 scenarios we simulated of Canada's new 2030 emissions target, the carbon price to achieve this target ranges from $250-321/tCO2e in 2030. This suggests that policy additional to the current fed C tax schedule of $170/tCO2e by 2030 will be necessary to meet this target

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

We simulated >100 scenarios of Canada's new 2030 emissions target. Our modeling suggests that we can achieve this target, but it won't be easy. All sectors will need to contribute

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

In April, Canada announced a new, more ambitious 2030 emissions target. We have a history of setting climate targets like this, but have yet to meet one. Our modeling suggests this target won't be an easy one to achieve, but can provide guidance on what's needed to get there

We simulated >200 scenarios of Canada's recently announced carbon price. In our assessment, this policy gets Canada on track to achieve (or exceed) its 2030 emissions target.

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

We did an analysis of Canada’s recently announced carbon price by simulating >200 scenarios with this policy. Our projections show Canada’s GDP will grow by 1.9% - 2.1% annually between now and 2030 under the new carbon price.

We ran out of #aluminum foil, so went to the grocery store and bought 10% more (+-390%).

Canada needs to reduce emissions by an additional 134 Mt from current policy to achieve our 2030 climate target. Here is where we've identified these reductions can come from - and for the lowest cost https://t.co/ApMOwTMpHy

[Navius Research @NaviusResearch]

Our recent analysis of Canada's Clean Fuel Standard estimates the policy will achieve much less than 30 Mt of emission reductions for Canada #CdnPoli https://t.co/ZJAwpCanqe

@SeanTucker16 @BrettDolter @astevensward3 thanks for the shirts, and asking me to speak in Regina this month! We’re setting aside our true colours to support math by the Govt of Sask: Lessons from grade 7 math apply, even if you are estimating the impact of a carbon tax...

How good are oil price forecasters? Not very :) (Sorry @EIAgov, you are still the best at what you do!)

@dalebeugin @bataille_chris If you are interesting in a new project, we now combine quantum mechanics with our CGE modeling!

[Jotham Peters @JothamPeters]

@bataille_chris @dalebeugin Perhaps we should all quit our jobs and become theoretical physicists!
