@muellertadzio Calling out the politicians who make infrasture decisions based on sending billions of project dollars to supporting corporations is now more important than ever. The misguided Brookfield federal #nuclear initiative is one, all other #fossilfuel funding. Electric #highspeedrail over airports and freeways. Rooftop and utility solar firmed up by hydro and battery storage. #CanPoli #energy #carney
