She's charged with a crime. The courts can tell her to do whatever they want. The whole point of bail is to agree to conditions to keep one out of jail.

I think the agricultural lobby will certainly have something to say about all this. Insects are a staple of Asian diets, so farming crickets certainly can be a growth opportunity. Certainly not one I'll be opting for anytime soon. Though Anchovy paste is already a thing. Your Ceasar Dressing likely already has it.

Plastics are a problem. But some are particularly pervasive and have easy alternatives. Recycling works when there's a market for the product being recycled. Most glass, aluminum and cardboard does get recycled. The problem with plastics is that it's cheaper just to make new plastic.

Which is precisely why certain products are being banned. No one is trying ban aluminum cans.

Sure if we stopped eating meat and all took public transportation a lot of the global problems would be solved. No one wants to do that tho. Cite some credible sources that indicate THIS is the real problem? Spewing toxic gases until they run out is good right?

Good thing most of Ontario's power isn't subject to these issues. 2017 don't inform the current environment. And you'd expect the province with 1/3 of the population would have most of the "power outages". The article doesn't indicated any of the power outages were due to "lack of supply". The Power goes down because of weather or a freak accident.

There is plenty of capacity that can be tapped into. This isn't the US where citizens refuse to pay for anything through taxes. I'm talking about crappy old transmission wires. The overall capacity is there. Newer communities in Ontario don't have this problem. Do you have evidence for this? BTW I haven't seen a brown out in Ontario, well EVER! We have a very good grid currently. Nuclear and Hydro are very stable sources and the supply of LNG is ample. It's how most of us currently heat our homes.

Again the storm speaks to aging infrastructure of delivering power. Which is certainly a concern. But it doesn't speak to our generation mix. I think it's pretty good and I hope we continue to invest in Nuclear. I will agree that how the previous Liberal Government handle Green Energy was wrong. They overpaid for it. Hopefully now that the Conservatives have been given a huge mandate, things will improve.

It's a somewhat fair analysis. I'm glad he pointed out that China is actually doing a lot to invest in Green Energy. A lot of people don't realize that. Though a lot of his critiques aren't issues here in Canada. He points that out in the video. Canada has a relatively population and vast natural resources. Most of our electricity is made using green sources. But something no EV critic ever understands or concedes is that the relative energy an EV uses compared to an ICE makes it a no brainer for efficiency. An ICE needs an extraordinary amount of relative energy to operate. A litre of gasoline is quite energy dense, but most ICE vehicles need a lot of it. If you had a 50 kwh EV motor. You're only need the energy equivalent of about 5 litres of gas to charge your car.

I have, yes. And with these stations I would be more likely to use an EV when I go to Montreal again. It's a start. These are Fast Chargers, people won't be waiting there all day. You don't have to be rich to own an EV. And the Oil industry is heavily subsidized. The government knows this is the way personal transportation is going, so infrastructure is being invested in. Also, these are privately run Charging Stations. Users pay to use them. No different from the Canadian Tire Gas Stations at these OnRoutes. The government isn't subsidizing Tim Hortons here. It's just a convenient place to have these things.

You should probably provide a cite for your claim that Ontario's grid is "vulnerable". With the move to Natural Gas over Coal, I think we've greatly improved the situation. And with such area, we have Wind, Solar and Hydro options that we can look to. The storm only effected isolated areas. And speaks more to how we get power to homes rather than how we generate power.

How is this a waste of taxpayer dollars? https://www.onroute.ca/brands/ev-chargers

I'll take a look when I get the chance. To be clear, I didn't buy an EV because I thought I was saving the world. I got an EV because I do have a 90-100 kms commute and I was in the market for a new car. I don't want to be bound by the gas roller coaster. Say what you will about electricity and natural gas, their prices are for more consistent than gas. So if you can budget $500 for a new car, you know that you can largely eliminate a few hundred dollars a month by avoiding buying gas and regular oil changes and other maintenance. Back when I was paying $50/week for gas, that's a real savings.

The Ted Talk? I referenced this in my post to Nationalist. People get caught up on the emissions to produce an EV but completely ignore the emissions associated with production of gasoline. They just focusing on the emissions from the car itself as if that gasoline just appeared in your Petro Canada via teleportation. I also quibble with his insistence that people require an EV with identical range of a comparable ICE. If your daily commute falls within the range the EV you want to buy then you should have no issue. An EV doesn't need to go 500-800 kms to be viable. We'll get their eventually though. If people have to drive hundreds of kms a day or don't have a garage, then EV ownership will be a pain. But for those that have a garage and a sensible commute, they're amazing.

The baby steps are that private industry realize that innovating in ways they use I doubt anything Trump did contributed to that. Efficiency will always lead to improved emissions. Moving from Coal to LNG will do wonders for Emission totals. He trumpeted Coal as something he would continue to advocate for. But Coal doesn't make sense when you have Natural Gas.

To encourage the likes of you to get an EV. Chicken or Egg. The issue that spurned this thread initially was the network of EnRoute Stations in Ontario. Along busy transportation routes, mostly on the 401, Ontario have these service stations with a gas station and plenty of food. These stations should also have EV chargers. Currently you have to find chargers off the highway in Big Box parking lots. And these chargers are always owned by private companies. We just need more of them.

That Teslas are the most environmentally unfriendly way to drive a car. I know this keeps coming back to the metals required to make a battery. I would point three things out. 1) No one complains about the ethnical and environmental concerns about the Lithium Ion batteries in all their other devices. Why don't we advocate for Cell Phones that use traditional AA batteries? 2) When someone tries to quantify the emissions required to build an EV, they don't also include the emissions required to mine, refine, and transport the gasoline an ICE requires during its entire lifetime. It's not just the emissions from the car, it's the emissions of the Gasoline industry as well. Transporting gasoline to your local gas station is a wildly inefficient business. With the EV it comes straight to your home through existing power lines. 3) No one critical of EVs seems to grasp how exponentially more efficient an EV is with energy than an ICE. 60 litres of gasoline could produce so much electricity, but we are bound by these ancient ICE engines that have basically reached the peak of their efficiency. You could buy a Generator, and buy gas for that Generator to charge your EV and you'd still be more efficient.

A prudent government would see the way the winds are going and invest in such infrastructure. Which, after some initial hesitance, the DoFo government appears to be doing.

I'm sure an opposition party with strong ties to Russia have the countries best interest, at heart, while the country is in full conflict with . . . Russia!!!! The Right has really turned into a puppet of Russian propaganda. BTW this is not the thread to discuss this. Do you even have the slightest ability to discuss EVs?

Your claim was that we would be in a worse state than Germany. It's tough to export LNG because it's usually done by a pipeline. But there is no shortage of LNG domestically. And that will fill the gap when the rest of Coal is shut down. This article mentions Natural Gas for new home construction. Heat Pumps provide a much more efficient method of electrically heating and cooling homes and should be part of any long term plan. That being said, Natural Gas will still be used to generate electricity for some time to come.

Excellent source ?

Ukraine has a duly elected leader. They threw out the Russian puppet in 2014, which is why Russia can't have them succeed.

Anti EV morons have to lie to discredit them, this in this post.

How could we be worse? We haven't effectively banned Nuclear. We do have an inventory of LNG as opposed to Germany who import it. I know it's laughable to some but Renewables do play a role in power generation going forward.

So ban people from having a certainly Sexual Orientation?
