🧵Alberta & Canadian taxpayer dollars earmarked for CCS or "blue" hydrogen production need to cease IMMEDIATELY.

The Pathways Alliance's move to scrub their sites before "anti-greenwashing" rule enforcement, is a very telling action.

"The law exposes companies to legal action should they make claims about the environmental benefits of any of their activities or technologies 'that [are] not based on an adequate and proper test' or 'the proof of which lies on the person making the representation.'"

It also does not reflect well on @YourAlberta's arguments that Ottawa's rules are the problem, rather than a lack of leadership from Alberta's oil and gas industry in having genuine good faith plans for Alberta or Canada.

Ok, IMMA weigh-in on this gaslighting, pun intended,⛽️conversation on Alberta's future hydrogen economy. 🧵
1⃣ 10:00 we basically "crack" natural gas apart to hydrogen.
✖️no mention of water
✅a process that uses MORE energy than using natural gas alone.

https://x.com/RealTalkRJ/status/1776346687952527773

2⃣ "We sequester the carbon dioxide and provide hydrogen to whoever needs it"
✖️First of all, we DO NOT sequester much CO2 at all.
✅CCS, ANOTHER process that uses MORE energy and MORE water than using natural gas alone.

3⃣ 11:00 today "There is MORE natural gas being used to generate hydrogen & hydrogen derivates than what is used to power the whole city" of Edmonton.
Yikes, think of the energy waste!
Add: 🌊consumption for drilling, fracing, CCS & then👇

Wowza, some incredible collaborative work by @blair_fix and @RKBtoo to expose the amount of editing on @mikedesouza’s @PostmediaNews environmental reporting carried out by the @calgaryherald relative to @edmontonjournal and the @OttawaCitizen

Left to right: Original, Ottawa Citizen, Edmonton Journal, and Calgary Herald
Fig 2: articles published 20, 14, 12, 11
Figure 3: word count 13,000, 5,300, 4,800, 4,300
Fig 4: page # 1-7, 1-17, 4-45
😂 so the @calgaryherald reports the least, demotes, with the fewest words
2/

Fig 6 highlights the comparative frequency of key words in De Souza’s articles: 21 (orig), 15.5, 11, with 3 from the herald. 😤
Fig 7 shows the effective communication results: 11.5, 9.5, 8.5, and 5.5.
Fig 8 mentions of government: 29, 31.5, 23, and 18.5.

Great webinar on the privatization of health care in Canada. The important distinctions between private pay and delivery, for-profit and non-profit. The Cambie trial in BC is an important ruling that upheld the Health Canada Act against private pay. 1/

Virtual care and travel across jurisdictions triggering private pay or annual payments to access primary care need to be addressed. 2/

The Canada Health Act is silent on private care but much evidence is available to demonstrate "for profit" care does not deliver the low-cost/high-quality outcomes that they are suggested to. 3/

@TheRealDKGray

In support of @TheRealDKGray's Alberta electricity market issue, here's what I've learned from Sheldon Fulton (an energy market consultant living in Calgary who has had an active role in the evolution of Alberta’s power market since 1996). 🧵1/

Remember: the UCP “Alberta Affordability Action Plan” included a price cap and deferral for individual homes on the variable regulated rate (RRO) option in cents/kWh. If you’re on a fixed contract, this program has not impacted you. 2/

Note: the green line is the price cap of 13.5 cents. Anything not paid above that is being deferred.
The Jan to March capped period of ~$200 million is being recovered as an energy surcharge of 2.5 cents/kWh for the next 21 months.

The AAA Plan is a “buy now, pay later” deal.3/

@Alberta_UCP

In November 2019, the @Alberta_UCP canceled the Alberta Provincial Rapattack program without any consultation with the program coordinator or its senior members. My husband, @CYeremiy worked for Rapattack from 1994-2003. 1/

@DevinDVote

On Nov 5, Chris issued an email to the Agriculture and Forestry Minister, @DevinDVote explaining his concerns about the cancellation of the program. And forwarded the email to @demetriosnAB, @jkenney, and @shoffmanAB. Both @demetriosnAB and @shoffmanAB responded. 2/

@CYeremiy

On Nov 7, @CYeremiy joined @shoffmanAB and current members of the Rapattack program to speak in defense of it. Please note: the @albertaNDP acted and supported this program to the best of their ability when they needed to. 2 days after letters were issued.
