So it looks like we will be funding the Russian invasion of Ukraine through purchases of diesel and jet fuel."UK waters down Russian oil sanctions amid jet fuel crisis brought on by Strait of Hormuz closure"https://news.sky.com/story/uk-waters-down-russian-oil-sanctions-amid-jet-fuel-crisis-brought-on-by-strait-of-hormuz-closure-13546009"The UK government has watered-down sanctions on Russia, allowing diesel and jet fuel from Russian crude oil to enter the UK if it is refined in other countries."#Russia #oil #FossilFuels #Ukraine #UkraineWar #uk #diesel #aviation

@Globob In the case of Enbridge getting the regulatory right to add gas lines to new developments by amortizing them over 40 years through customer billing, new home buyers should forego using gas heating and insist on heat pumps. But will they?

#Microsoft says it’s committed to be a climate leader, yet the company is increasingly using #fossilfuels to power #datacenters, and has brought pollution, noise, rampant water use, and waste to local communities. Sign the letter.https://bsky.app/profile/stand.earth/post/3mloa4vmiuu2v

Related to this, a recent open house had 100 people turn out in a small rural town near Cold Lake Alberta to oppose the CCUS project. Communities in the US have done the same and in some cases, blocked and/or delayed carbon pipelines.https://www.lakelandtoday.ca/st-paul-news/group-opposed-to-carbon-capture-pipeline-makes-stop-in-mallaig-12223718

@SnowyCA Cenovus just wants another $1B taxpayer gift?Sk’s Boundary Dam carbon capture coil plant is contracted to supply Cenovus with CO2 it uses for enhanced oil recoveryBoundary Dam has _never_ performed to specification.

Related to my earlier MAGA story:"The violations also highlighted failures at the Alberta Energy Regulator, which The Narwhal found approved the transfer of hundreds of wells and related infrastructure to the company in September 2024, when MAGA Energy owed more than $20,000 in taxes. This move was in violation of a ministerial order barring such transfers.""The regulator told The Narwhal in November last year the company 'met the requirements to proceed' with the transfer, but refused to answer questions when provided evidence that it was in violation of the rules." https://thenarwhal.ca/alberta-maga-suspension/#ableg #cdnpoli #fossilfuels #corruption

"The conclusion is unavoidable: we must transition away from fossil fuels — not just because it's good for climate, but because it strengthens our energy independence and security," https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/santa-marta-talks-9.7181309#fossilFuels #climate #cdnpoli #energyTransition #renewables #solar

After ignoring and dismissing Mark Dorin’s complaints about MAGA Energy for years, the Alberta government finally took action shutting down the company, claiming the “system works.”But, problems remain and efforts at regulatory reform show no signs of letting up.My update to the MAGA Energy story that broke last week.https://www.theenergymix.com/alberta-regulator-orders-maga-energy-to-shut-down-over-unpaid-taxes-environmental-failure/#ableg #fossilfuels #polluterpays #activism

Listening to Canada's climate minister Julie Dabrusin on CBC 'What on Earth' today just made me want to scream!A total windbag. Nothing but empty political talking points. Just absolute crap! Refuses to answer questions about fossil fuel expansion, carbon capture and rolling back of climate initiatives.These Carney ministers are nothing but political shills for the old guard. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-429-what-on-earth/clip/16210872-critics-math-isnt-mathing-ottawas-climate-plans#cdnpoli #environment #carney #fossilFuels #bcpoli #abpoli

@cejjacobs @mls14 @benroyce @SteveJB the Chinese don't have an oil lobby actively spreading disinformation on EVs, or pressuring governments as in the EU or UK (in the US they are of course the government).
