In New Zealand, opposition parties have begun issuing joint press releases and holding policy meetings, as their proportional system means they will likely have to govern together if they win.

Imagine if Canada had an electoral system that fostered this kind of cooperation.

Nunavut’s growing boil water problems. Over the next four years, the Nunavut government will spend $300 million on upgrades for six community water treatment plants, which are being designed to accommodate larger future populations.

The world's largest heat pump has just started production in Esbjerg 🇩🇰 Denmark and supplies 250,000 households with reliable, cost-effective and virtually CO2-free heat.

We have the solutions and all we need to do is to implement them. https://t.co/87idh4vvUd

This is a tragedy. There are microplastics in babies in the womb. Plastics are destroying our waterways and wildlife. Shame on us all for failing here.

Japanese govt is plans to generate 20 gigawatts electricity, equivalent to the output of 20 nuclear reactors, through thin and bendable perovskite solar cells.

Equally fascinating:

3 U.S. states produced 70-78% of their electricity demand with just wind for a full year (Oct 1, '23-Sep 30, '24)

SD: 77.5% wind
IA: 76.6%
KS: 69.82%

Another 4 produced 46-51% wind:

OK: 51.4%
WY: 49.7%
NM: 46.3%
ND: 48.5%

Most people don’t know this.

Heat pumps REDUCE gas consumption even if running 100% on electricity from a gas fired power plant.

U.S. has installed 20 GW/80 GWh of batteries, equivalent to the peak power of 20 1-GW nuclear plants, in 4 years, with 5 GW added in first 7 mon of 2024.

The batteries already helped prevent outages during heat waves.

Another 20 GW expected by 2025.

It took 68 years for the world to reach 1 terawatt of solar PV capacity. It took just two years to double it.

Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

🦊 Don’t let the foxes guard the pharmacare henhouse! Write to Health Minister Holland by November 9th and demand that our new pharmacare program is overseen by independent experts, not Big Pharma lobbyists: https://t.co/6HlbDp5MBW @CanadiansOrg

[Peter Julian 🇨🇦 @MPJulian]

Breaking news: Senate committee just passed the Pharmacare Act unamended bringing Canada closer 2 a national pharmacare program. This Act ensures contraceptives for 9 million Canadians & medications for up to 6 million diabetics. A significant step toward universal healthcare!
