Official: China mining more coal but increasing wind, solar
BEIJING (AP) — China plans to boost coal production through 2025 to avoid a repeat of last year’s power shortages, an official said Monday, adding to setbacks in efforts to cut climate-changing carbon emissions from the biggest global source.
China is a big investor in wind and solar, but jittery Communist Party leaders called for more coal-fired power after economic growth slumped last year and shortages caused blackouts. That prompted warnings that carbon emissions will rise faster through 2030, when they government says they should peak.
The ruling party aims for annual coal production to rise to 4.6 billion tons in 2025, a deputy director of the Cabinet’s National Energy Administration, Ren Jingdong, said at a news conference held during a ruling party congress. That would be a 12% increase over last year’s 4.1 billion tons.

FSIN says Drawing the Line white paper is an infringement on First Nations Inherent and Treaty rights
When it comes to being a “nation within a nation,” the executive of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) has something to say about that. And they have some experience as a nation within a nation, too.

Letter to Editor: If other provinces choose to embrace energy poverty, that is their decision. Saskatchewan shouldn’t
The government of Saskatchewan has a duty to its citizens to provide reliable, affordable, and secure energy, especially since it is produced within its borders.

Saskatchewan is feeling the noose of federal climate change policies and programs tightening around its neck, to the point where, if they are all implemented, the bill to this province could be $111 billion by 2035.

Brian Zinchuk: There’s only one word for all the greenhouse gas programs the feds have or will impose on Saskatchewan: strangulation
It’s more than half of the current provincial budget. So how do we come up with that money? How do we pay for all these taxes, manure covers, output-based pricing, new ZEV purchases and the like? How do we do it when our two biggest primary industries are being choked off by these very policies? Where will the money come from? Who gets the privilege of working while the rest of us line up to pay our various greenhouse gas taxes? What will our economy be with reduced ag, and choked-off oil and gas?

From food and fuel to cow crap: How 9 federal climate change policies will suck Saskatchewan dry over the next 12 years

Put another way, following nine federal climate change policies and programs will cost this province an average of $8.8 billion each year, more than half of its current $17.6 billion provincial budget. The total by 2035 will be $111 billion.

Saudi Arabia has reminded us again of the power of the world’s largest oil producer. Through Saudi Aramco, one country with only 35 million people controls 11 per cent of global supply.

Brian Crossman: Thanksgiving in the oilpatch
But it in these moments in the oilpatch when you find pain and adversity, you also find strength. I am always amazed how humans can not only survive these difficult times, but persevere and become stronger in spite of it all. The times you spend 14 hours on the rig grinding it out, coming home dragging your ass like an “FNG” will tire you out beyond belief. But guess what? You are now stronger, smarter and better for it.
