Oil Wars vs Energy Transition (feat. Markham Hislop)
What another oil war means for Canada’s future

With so many countries taking early steps to becoming #Electrostates rather than #Petrostates, will Trump's #OilWar be the biggest yet or is the larger war the #EndOfOil forever? We hit up Canada's best energy writer @markhamhislop.bsky.social for answers

Worthwhile thread; a climate / AI connection that is new to me.
An observation I've been thinking about:
Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

"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."

The weather has been a bit weird across the U.S. this winter. Historic amounts of snow fell in the Carolinas, iguanas were stunned by freezing cold in Florida and would-be skiers were looking at dirt on Utah’s slopes. Here’s what’s going on, and when it will finally end.

In the end, when it comes to a court of law and findings of facts, there is really no argument against forcing the polluters to clean up their mess.
When I was seven I didn’t want to clean up my room but I was forced to by a higher authority. The mess has been made and we know who is responsible.

When it comes to climate, no more counterproductive "permitting reform" B.S. that's obeisant to energy & tech industry demands for ever more extraction & exploitation.
We're "at work in the ruins." And that means we must chart a course to the emergent horizons.
