Brussels in March passed the 2040 climate target — 90% net reduction versus 1990 levels. Brussels in April agreed to import $750 billion of American oil and gas by 2028. Both facts cannot be true. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive was gutted in December under pressure from ExxonMobil, JPMorgan, and a US Ambassador who called it "economic suicide." Over 400 Inflation Reduction Act grants terminated. The Endangerment Finding dismantled. The US absent from COP30 in Brazil — the first time since 1995 no delegation went. https://twp.ai/9OWdYB calls it the most significant setback for US climate policy to date. The predatory financial machinery learned long ago: you don't repeal climate law. You make the trade terms worse than the law.

If I was #PrimeMinister here is how I would double electrical generation in #Canada with net zero spending

Step 1) Offer installation of solar panels and batteries with all costs born upfront by the government

Step 2) The government recoups its expenditures over time by getting 75% of the electrical savings the installed solar panels and batteries generate. Ownership of the systems transfer once costs are recouped.

Canada wins by increasing it's renewable energy production and having surplus energy available for development.

Canadians win by saving up to 25% on their power bills immediately and even more in the future (once systems are paid of)

The Government of Canada wins because they meet their international obligations (Paris Treaty) and recoup all money making the final cost net zero.

The only loser in this scenario are the foreign owned oil and gas companies, plus Danielle Smith... so really that's another win.
