The Tall Ships' iconic Transatlantic journey was a high profile demonstration of wind energy. But top honors for impact in 1976 MUST go to the 25-kw wind turbine erected at @UMassAmherst, whose builders went on to launch the modern wind industry .... spectrum.ieee.org/william-he…
Crown attorney tried to discredit @mzjacobson by raising old defamation suit against @DrChrisClack at al. Canadian judge shut him down, calling it irrelevant to the question at hand: has federal inaction on climate change violation constitutional rights of young Canadians.
Canada can 'definitely' transition to renewables by 2050, expert tells youth climate trial
"Canada does not need to rely on fossil fuels, he testified Thursday, as he outlined how the country could meet its energy demands by tapping “humongous” resources and opportunities in wind, solar and geothermal, along with pre-existing hydroelectric capacity."
"Combine that with the electrification of energy and transportation and “Canada can do it,” Jacobson said of transitioning to renewables."
“Whether it actually does it by 2050 is more of a social and political question.”

🌶️ Quotes of the Day from Michael Cembalest, keynoting the @AndlingerCenter Annual Meeting today:
"SMRs are the Metaverse of the energy sector. I don't think a single one of these is going to operate."
"One of the highest ratios in the world is the number of academic papers on carbon capture divided by the actual amount of carbon captured in the world."
"When we started writing about hydrogen, we started calling it 'why-drogen' because thermodynamically, it makes no sense."
We're underway with a packed agenda today @Princeton discussing Energy Security in an Era of Recurring Geopolitical Schocks. Sessions are recorded and will be shared later. Full agenda here acee.princeton.edu/2026-annu…
RIP @novaya_gazeta , Russia's last independent paper. "We were killed. On November 9th, we'll turn off the lights in our home, where we've lived for 30 years, shut down the servers, and leave. The newspaper is gone." novayagazeta.ru/articles/202…

Started today...worth watching! Looks like government lawyers are armed with oil industry talking points - Canada's % of emissions are irrelevent, if we don't produce more oil and gas, some other country will, we're already reducing emissions (s l o w l y). Appalling...
On Monday, 7 years after filing suit, 🇨🇦 youth will finally get their day in court to challenge federal climate policy. 8 climate experts will back their contention that federal inaction trampled their future, violating their constitutional rights. #LaRose openlegalblogarchive.org/202…

Only 48% of BC voters supported the BC Conservatives, yet the voting system has handed Lorne Doerkson's Conservatives 69% of the seats and 100% of the power.

ALT BC election popular vote versus seats
Did you vote Green in BC or tried to scare others from "splitting the vote" ? Know this: The NDP put the @BCConservative1 in power last night, calling an unnecessary election that united the Right. Premier Eby and the @bcndp have no one to blame but themselves. #bcpolitics
Had the NDP taken every vote for the @BCGreens, the CP would have won a crushing 51-seat majority instead of their crushing 64-seat majority. (DM for data.) In reality, many left-leaning / youth voters inspired by @EmilyLowan would have sat it out w/o the Green alternative. 2/2

The richest man in the world is putting hundreds of millions of dollars into the Texas Senate campaign for a candidate so corrupt his own party impeached him and also playing God with military capabilities for U.S. allies. This is problematic, no?
