I was inspired by @QuickDickMcDick. His outreach to @liberal_party bigwigs like @KenHardie to help them understand the inequitable impacts of the Carbon Tax on farmers as it pertains to grain drying got me thinking that @cdnpork farmers should do the same 1/13
Added benefit? 6Bcf/d would generate ~$2.4BN a year in royalties and taxes which would build more hospitals, hire more doctors, and help pay down our $1TN+ of national debt. The world needs more Canadian energy!
42MM metric ton reduction nationally = 10 coal fueled power plants. China is building 43 of them. Better climate solution? CDN LNG...if we got to half of where the US already is = equivalent net emissions reduction of 100% EV penetration rate, but in years, not multiple decades.
EVs to the rescue? ~125,000kms for an EV to reach emissions neutrality vs. combustion engine. Average Canadian only drives 15,200km/year and owns a car for 13 years. So, a whopping net 1.7 metric ton/y reduction over life of car = 42MM metric tons/y = 7% national drop at 100% EVs
Live price paid to farmer April 2022: $2.32/kg, live price paid December 2022: $2.50/kg. The profit differential is not in the farmers pockets, given the rise in feed, fuel, labour, interest rates and all costs in general.
If you want to run a news org with a certain political persuasion, fine. But don’t cherry pick facts and leave out important context just to fuel a narrative. It makes the readers more radical and ignorant though they feel they’re well informed.
Some unit stole this unit late yesterday afternoon from a field between Wroxeter and Belmore. Had a 20 year old orange Thomas skidsteer on the back. Pretty hard outfit to miss so if you’ve seen it let me know.
Thanks
