Most of it wind/hydro/nuclear. Sure coal and NG combined was higher. But they are both declining rapidly.

Headline is aweful and misleading. In April, Solar was highest energy source FOR TRAILING 12 months. That it was more in June, likely means solar was highest energy source for trailing 12 and 14 months. FF electricity is dropping off significantly in Europe. Even more down this year than it was in 2023/2024.

This is such extreme incompetence in reporting from Yale.

European EVs doing well in EU. Headlines so far this year has been surge of Chinese EVs in EU, but EU doing better.

Screw the bank I work for, screw the bank, and I'm squishing your head are references I make regularly.

Home owners/capitalists do appreciate scarcity. More/denser housing units is more city property taxes, more retail availability and income taxes/revenue, and more jobs, also more tax revenue. All of that supports more housing demand and higher property prices too. If you were the only one left in Toronto, I guess you wouldn't need/have any services. But property value would go down from $200/sq foot rental value to $1.

Our leaderships tried appeasement and appeal to "fortress Can-Am". Maybe they are all paid/programmed to be loyal CIA colonists, and had to at least try keeping the same political capital that brought them to leadership. Fine, we are open to joining EU in context of CIA colonies and NATO subservience, with absurd 5% of GDP spent primarily on US weapons, but that EU proposition must change.

Yes, Canada, EU, and Asian colonies should coordinate on US war against them. It has to be in the context of an alliance with China against the US, or the serious threat of that as a negotiation stance, and full detente with China until negotiations are successful. Removing US from NATO, Council of Americas, and NORAD or charging them significant rent for any bases/presence/services. We must end the US project of a proxy war on Russia, and the delusional fear manufacturing that Russia is a bigger threat than the US, that we only make true through US programed suicidal hatred towards Russia. Joining EU for purposes of distracting population that a war on Russia is more important than economic collapse, just because political power can be rallied behind instead of rejected as cause of collapse, it a bad reason to join EU.

Carney's "The special relationship with US is over" has to be followed up with different behaviour than begging to be a more subservient colony. Maybe this is the final wakeup call? If not, just more abuse to follow.

Any Also bike announced or design pics/features?

How about Kids in the Hall? Best ever Canadian show by far.

The reason for liars to lie about Spain is to bully/disinform rest of Europe and US public into going harder on FFs.

Global markets

Ford says he wants Fortress Can-Am. Week after, 50% copper tariffs announced. If we don't let US tech giants spy on us tax free, we will get treated like Brazil. Big disconnect with just more gaslighting.

I don't get how 6 plexes make North York or Etobicoke worst. Zoning allows 2 4plexes side by side?

 

By giving every child$1000, (optimistically can grow to $4000 by 18th birthday), and allowing tax deferred contributions (mostly by rich) to the account, more Americans will be made to promote Corporatist supremacy.

If you ask for "anti-business" reforms against structural slavery, then will be "ruining your children's savings."

 

16gb ram. nvida GTX1650. Triple monitors

want to run existing windows 10 installation in VM, with write access. This is mostly for tax software.

plan is new SSD drive. Make 2 partitions for windows, with backup to both. Let it be C: drive? Then reformat PCIe M2 drive for linux.

I only care about the VM not FUBARing the windows installation, even if I have a 2nd backup of it.

I play one game that has a linux version: beyond all reason.

I've used debian/ubuntu based linux before. I don't need/want to highly customize performance/features. Just working out of box.

 

Canada relies on foreign auto executives for its auto industry. It already provides huge taxpayer subsidies per job. There is certainly a possible future where all of those foreign loyal companies side with US to destroy Canadian auto production/investment.

  1. China could help save Canadian auto industry by providing motors and batteries for Canadian made EVs. Chinese investment to make goods from Canadian resources in Canada is a path for scale that includes global export potential of autos and other industrial goods to whole globe including China.

  2. If it doesn't make economic sense to make our own tube socks, it doesn't make sense to make overly expensive cars, either. There is a stronger national security argument for apparel, that needs yearly replacements, than solar, batteries, and autos that last 20+ years. More so, when they are not dependent on continuous international fuel supply chains/geopolitics.

Pressure on foreign executives to support Canadian production includes access to Canadian market. The stability of status quo will appeal to most people. But the threat/plan B of cooperation with China is both a path to manufacturing and resource FDI paid by China instead of taxpayers, and better quality of life through better value goods.

 

emissions down in last 10 months of 2024. Very likely that trailing 12 months are down too (not covered in article, but something they will pick up)

 

28% growth over 2023. Forecast for 2025 is 215-250GW, down, but original forecast from same agency/report for 2024 was only 220GW (achieved 26%+ higher than target). March 2025 report shows 42% increase in solar capacity (or production actually) over last year, at end of February. 930gw. 33gw in 2 months is behind forecast on linear basis, but this is slow period, traditionally . Production can go up higher than capacity if it was sunnier than last year.

Solar module output expanded 13.5% to 588 GW. Forecast for 2025 is up to 583gw. It exported 235gw of solar panels. up 13% in 2024. Europe was down for the year, but up in last quarter. https://www.infolink-group.com/energy-article/solar-topic-china-pv-module-exports-yoy-growth-all-regions-except-europe

500gw per year is enough to match double Germany's annual electricity production. Not that Germany isn't already a leader in renewables, but just that it is a significant permanent displacement of fossil fuel electricity, and with EVs, of Oil.

The important metric of energy transition is the global pace. Whether it's all done by one country doesn't actually matter.

 

Panama, afaik doesn't get paid. Just gets continued invasion threats no matter how much they bend over.

El Salvador could double its GDP if they can just keep 1.75M prisoners alive. ($35B/year)
