When Canada says its energy will be “green” they are talking about trying to decarbonize upstream emissions, during extraction, production & processing. As @chrishatch.bsky.social notes, 80% of emissions come from burning fossil fuels. /1

If you want peace, prepare for war.
Putin wants to destroy Ukraine as a nation with its own history. When a nation is deprived of its history and collective memory, it becomes vulnerable to absorption by another nation.
