I want everyone to enjoy the benefits of a prosperous economy without environmental costs. Tweets, retweets and opinions expressed are my own.

Capitalism has a potentially fatal bug called "externalities". The fix/cure is to apply the "revenue neutral carbon tax" modification.

Until fully independent from Russian gas, Europe will be critically vulnerable if the Kremlin cuts off gas flows, particularly in winter, when it would be economically devastating & potentially deadly.

Here's how 🇪🇺 + 🇬🇧 can be free from 🇷🇺 gas before this winter! ⤵️

Alberta's industrial carbon pricing system matters a lot. It covers 50% of Canada's industrial emissions.

To achieve our climate targets we'll need tighter benchmark stringency and a more transparent carbon-credit market.

The carbon tax returns 100% of $ to Cdns but few ppl know about it. That could change now that rebates will be sent out quarterly starting next week. Could be a game-changer as Cdns strongly support C-pricing when told of the rebate 1/

@WDuskGroup Awesome. I am learning to foil on an EV SUP!

Zelensky has released a very strong 15-minute-long video on Victory Day, reminding the world about why we say “Never Again” every year.

The video is in black-and-white and was recorded in the ruined city of Borodyanka.

Make sure to pass it on.

@RickAnderson @charlesadler This path quickly leads to becoming the western alienation party.

C’mon government. Balls in your court. Pass some laws that stop social media from sorting and dividing us into outraged mobs.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.

[Greg Kiessling @gregkiessling]

@elycklama Thanks. I have read it and agree with it. We have to regulate out some of the negatives of Social Media soon. I don’t think govt knows what to do or where to start.

According to this, France is “a paradise inhabited by people who believe they are in hell.” IMO, the same phenomenon is happening in Canada, and social media is the root cause. https://t.co/GdqsbAkrLs

I'm increasingly convinced industrial pricing and BCAs will become a focal point of climate discussions as we approach 2030. So it was fun to work with @KenBoessenkool, @AaronCosbey @MikePMoffatt on this piece published in the Canadian Tax Journal

Speaking of freedom: All models and data used to make energy systems decisions (whether created by govt, agencies or proponents) should be OPEN, TRANSPARENT AND FREE.

Excellent. Now stay on a roll and support pricing carbon as the key carbon reduction policy.

🧵 It is time we Conservatives end Pierre Trudeau’s supply management system. We will do it to help families struggling with their grocery bills. And we will do it to help farmers sell their exceptional products around the world.
