Global oil consumption dropped at he 1973 and 1979 oil shocks as ppl reduced dependence. Had the trajectory of use in millions of barrels/day not been affected it would have gone frpm30 in 1965 to 110 in 1982. Instead it only got to 55. Today's oil shock means an severe reduction in oil dependence, and enormous increase in renewables. Saudi Arabia was one of the early adopters seeing the end coming. China and Spain have enormous solar footprints. #renewables #solar

On March 10th, the Alberta Coalition of Defence Lawyers organized a protest at the Alberta Legislature against the UCP for using the Notwithstanding clause, attacking the independence of the judiciary, trying to insulate themselves from being held accountable by the courts and the Law Society of Alberta (LSA), and denying funding through the Alberta Law Foundation to organizations that further the rule of law and help the public.
