THIS is why the #China visit matters, potential talks around #EVtariffs and #CanadianCanola could RESHAPE trade flows and why expanding Canadian options globally makes the us HARDER to threaten. This isn’t about choosing sides it’s about ensuring #Canada is NEVER cornered 🇨🇦 youtu.be/hDf6I7maxzI?...

The Hidden Link Between EV, Tariffs, Wind Energy, Greenland, Venezuela, and Oil Imperialism

The fight over EVs and renewables exposes how resource extraction still drives U.S. economic and foreign policy.

The debate around electric vehicles, windmills, Greenland, Venezuela, oil, and tariffs often appears fragmented, as if each issue exists in its own policy silo. That illusion serves power well. When examined together, these issues reveal a coherent and troubling strategy rooted in protecting entrenched corporate interests—particularly fossil fuels—through coercion, misinformation, and state intervention. The common thread between EVs, … Tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles offer the first clue. Classical capitalism argues for efficiency: if another country produces a superior product at lower cost, markets should reward that efficiency. Instead, punitive tariffs block affordable EVs while U.S. automakers scale back production. This is not market correction; it is market distortion. The private sector failed to invest aggressively in EVs when it had the chance, and now the state shields that failure rather than confronting it. That choice delays climate progress and leaves working families paying more for fewer options. The same logic explains the hostility toward wind energy. Offshore wind projects—many led by Danish firms like Ørsted—represent large-scale threats to oil’s dominance. Claims that turbines threaten national security collapse under basic physics and radar science. Modern militaries already distinguish complex signal environments. What truly alarms fossil interests is that wind power reduces dependence on oil, shrinking profits and geopolitical leverage. Tha

This breaks down why #Canada should remove its #EVtariffs, why following US protectionism hurts #Canadian interests, and how we could actually BENEFIT by inviting #Chinese #EVmanufacturing into the country CREATING jobs, cutting prices, and STRENGTHENING our clean-tech goals youtu.be/DXgKmXOOVnY?...

The duties will enter into force in early November and last for at least five years.

They will come on top of the existing 10% rate. This means that, in practice, some Chinese carmakers will soon face tariffs of over 45% when they try to bring their goods into the single market.

The fact the tariffs will eventually go ahead lays bare Berlin's diminishing clout in Brussels. #China

@CelloMomOnCars it will take regulation to have Detroit downsize their vehicles, as they’ve consistently marketed large vehicles for decades as being safe, prestigious and a testament to one’s penis size.

Producing smaller cars in the age of #electrification will be the resource and economic rightsizing that might save #DetroitAutomakers. Their only hope is selling small, light cars that are affordable. Exactly like the Chinese #Electricvehicles under #evtariffs.

@electrek too bad Detroit can’t produce a small practical car thats affordable and appeals broadly. Only foreign car makers do this. We wouldnt need to block such cars with #EVTariffs.

GM Canada says tariffs on Chinese EVs would create ‘fair playing field’
The federal government wrapped a 30-day consultation last week on whether to impose steep tariffs to counter the volume of production coming out of China.

Why do Chinese electric cars cost $10K while American ones are $30K? Is it supply chain magic? Or other secrets?
