"There's 100 billion dollars of infrastructure work that has to go into making Trump's half-baked #Venzuela oil plan work. America's oil companies certainly don't want to pay for that any more than Canada's oil companies (largely American themselves) want to pay for #CarbonCaptureAndStorage"

" #Trump defines power as simply #MightMakesRight. The average Canadian has not come to grips with the fact that our centuries old relationship with the United States has come to an end. This is a rupture, not a diversion."
-the always prescient Markham Hislop, pre #MarkCarney UN speech

"The United States doesn't have partners. It has states with which it does transactional business and states which it influences in its own self-interest...over the next few years how we in Canada think of our sovereignty is going to continue to be challenged very strongly by the United States."

"Trump has abandoned the rules-based order America helped usher in after 1945 that relied on multilateral agreements & institutions, that even though the United States was the hegemonic power, I mean nobody could deny that but at the same time, we at least had a fig leaf that our issues mattered."

"Becoming an electo-state would mean investing decisively in clean power, electrification, and industrial strategy, not as climate virtue signalling, but as hard-nosed geopolitics. The question is no longer whether the world will move beyond oil, but how far Canada is willing to be left behind."

Electric boilers and furnaces show similar results, except for a very few countries still relying on a carbon-intensive electricity mix.

🎯 To design robust industrial decarbonisation support schemes three principles stand out:

Prioritise #electrification where efficiency gains are highest, notably for low and medium-temperature heat via heat pumps – while recognising that higher temperature electrification is viable in most EU countries. 4/x

🔌 As Europe works to strengthen #energysecurity on its path to #climateneutrality, #electrifying industrial process heat is a clear opportunity to cut both #emissions and fossil fuel import dependence.

⚡️ With new support schemes being developed – including under the forthcoming Industrial Decarbonisation Bank – an important question persists: how does the carbon intensity of today’s power mix shape the real world impact of #electrification? 1/x

#ElectroStates are the exact opposite of #PetroStates. Electrified economies powered by renewables rely less on territorial control & more on technology, grids, manufacturing capacity & finance. #EnergyTransition is therefore not just an emission strategy, but a peace strategy."

"Oil dependence creates incentives for regime change, military occupation & erosion of international law. #PetroStates don't just extract energy. They export volatility resulting in a global system where climate & geopolitical breakdowns reinforce one another. #ElectroStates are the exact opposite."

“On Saturday 31st January 2026, GWR (Great Western Railway) introduced the UK’s first battery-only powered train into passenger service.”

Impressive re-use of materials and adoption of current technologies to create a new class of vehicle. Testing and validation bodes well for future deployment elsewhere.

Copper producers index says "Wait – aren't we in the middle of electrifying EVERYTHING? Yeah, that's an irrational sell off. Never mind!"

"Oil is not just an energy source. It's a geopolitical accelerant that rewards coercion, undermines sovereignty and normalises permanent crisis. The Venezuela invasion illustrates #Petrostate logic at its most extreme. This is not an aberration, but a pattern."
