I was in India several weeks ago and it's absolutely amazing to see the vast solar fields they have set up there. It's funny that North America considers itself so advanced, yet is playing dumb games when it comes to the crises we're facing.

It's amazing. I drove about 1900 kms about two weeks ago and the number of windfarms I saw along the way was astonishing. There were also tens of trailers carrying windblades ready for mounting. It made me really happy.

Canada and the USA are both oil producing nations, and despite those companies representing a tiny portion of the workforce, they represent a large percentage of bribery political spending. They're more than happy to fund radicalisation and fascism if it means they can keep wrecking the planet for profit for one more year.

Every province in Canada reduced emissions - the oil-producing one increased emissions to match. Bastards.

Saw a shit-ton of solar and wind farms powering oil derricks while flying over Texas. Renewable energy for the oil I guess
