The Clean Energy Show

164. Costly Climate Denialism in Western Canada


Listen Later

Three years ago we warned our local goverment that building a gas plant would be building a stranded asset. They didn't listen and now they say they can't meet the federal government's (and the world's) goal of net zero electricity by 2035. We roast the jackwagon Scott Moe and his oil-happy Saskatchewan government simply for being stupid.

  • Note: We'll be one day late next week! Also note: New improved audio file uploaded.

Brian updates his heat pump installation in a very cold climate.

Then he switches out his Seattle Kracken hat for his new Clean Energy Show hat! Now available again in our merch shop!

We find a newspaper article mentionig heat pumps for Vancouver in the year 1948.

The Davidson, Saskatchewan level 3 Flo chargers are online. This is huge for the EV owners in our area and took forever. We revisit our commercial for the Riverbend Co-op in Davidson and send them our love.

Brian finds a Rewiring America ad with filmmaker Adam McKay behind the humorous commercial promoting Biden's IRA legislation.

James has to search for a new hair stylist after finding out his is a transfobic conspiracty therorist who thinks the fifteen minute city concept is going to lock him in his neighborhood. He also thinks there's not enough minerals for the energy transition. He's wrong, of course.

Plus: Solar farm building robots, Japanese automakers give their EVs names to prevent sales, and Ferrari won't give up on the combustion engine.

In order not to disturb whales and large bubble curtain is being placed around wind farm drilling operations.

A climate scientist warns the Amazon may be past the tipping point.

We end with The Lightning Round!
