A new book uncovers terrifying environmental misdeeds by a refinery located within the city limits of Regina, Canada, just one mile from the co-host of this podcast. Governments thankful for the positive economic impacts turned their backs on the health of their citizens. The USA’s largest public power utility has announced plans to retire what was once the nation's biggest coal power plant. If you order Uber Eats in Phoenix, Arizona it may be delivered by an autonomous vehicle. The CEO of the automotive group Stellantis says EVs can’t be environmental until batteries weigh half as much. He’s dead wrong and we’ll outline why. Plus UFOs over the podcast headquarters? A listener asks if we saw anything.

• Corrections on Larry David and MrBeast
• Update on China's coal percentage of the grid
• Kia to make cheaper Evs
• Jeopard Clip once again
• Regina once boasted on highway signs it was the home of Canada's first heavy oil upgrader

Book: "Unjust Transition. The Future for Fossil Fuel Workers" Published by Fernwood Publishing

Book link: https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/unjust-transition

Investigative journalist Patricia Elliot pens the chapter on the environmental problems with the Federated Cooperative Refinery Complex in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The facts are horrific and everyone in the city is subjected to neurotoxins and VOCs. Government turns a blind eye in favour of the economic benefits. Very few safeguards are in place. The complex's environmental record is abysmal. At least the parts that we know about. Some important information is kept from the public.

Living near refineries like the CRC poses significant health risks due to exposure to over fifty recognized harmful substances, including toxic gases and heavy metals.

• Uber Eats autonomous food delivery by robotic cars don't require a tip
• Fossil fuel cars mine more than electric vehicles over the course of their lifespan
• Listener letters: UFOs over the Canadian prairies?
• Tennessee Coal
• Tweet of the Week: from @walker79 on the CEO of Stellantis saying EVs need to have batteries that weigh half as much to be environmentally helpful. Why that's wrong.
• Tesla beat BYD in Q1 EV sales
• The Lightning Round!

China's manufacturing prowess and efficiencies have drastically lowered the cost of solar, wind and electric vehicles. Without them, hope for a speedy reduction in emissions would be lower.

Drake Landing in Alberta, Canada inspired James in 2006 by using engineering and the sun to store heat from the summer and use it to heat a housing development in winter. Now it's in poor repair, needing parts that can no longer be found and likely to be replaced by gas. An entire shipping container of ebikes were stolen in a brazen heist. Kraft Dinner noodles to be dried at the factory without fossil fuels, thanks to Biden. EVs 70% cleaner than gas cars during their lifecycle.

New e-bike batteries have a special coating to resist fires. A major battery maker is touting a new formula for cold climates called "Winter Pro." It sounds like a tire. Oil is doomed as these battery makers promise a charge time of 9 minutes and 20 year life-spans. Solar canopies over cemeteries in France. Rest in electrons!

James investigates an air quality advisory and discovers Oil is to blame. His entire city of Regina, Saskatchewan is within the cancer zone of the oil refinery. Apple kills its electric car program. Alberta shoots itself in the foot by discouraging vast investment in renewable energy in favor of dirty energy. A small city saves big money on electric police vehicles. Taking down Tesla's automation advancements. A nuclear reactor will put almost all its juice into a data center. Cooktops with their own batteries.

• How do you charge an EV in a small town or on a farm? (you plug it in)

• Who Killed the Apple Electric Car?

• Bridgewater, Nova Scotia police highlight their EV savings for the small city.

• Alberta's new restrictions on clean energy. (none on dirty energy)

• Tesla FSD - the argument that Waymo or others will win over Tesla in the automation race.

• Induction ovens and cooktops will soon have batteries, big ones!

• Nuclear for data centres
