Senate climate bill has West Virginia written all over it
The sprawling economic package passed by the U.S. Senate this week has a certain West Virginia flavor.
The package, passed with no Republican votes, could be read largely as an effort to help West Virginia look to the future without turning away entirely from its roots.
The bill contains billions in incentives for clean energy — while also offering renewed support for traditional fuel sources such as coal and natural gas — as well as big boosts for national parks and health care for low-income people and coal miners with black lung disease. That’s no accident. Most provisions were included as the price the Democrats had to pay to win the all-important support of Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who says they will help folks back home.

Canada considered jobs, inflation in decision to return Russian turbine: documents
Global Affairs Canada considered the impact on Canadian jobs and global inflation when making a decision to return a turbine being repaired in Montreal to a Russian energy giant, a newly released document shows.
The “memorandum for action” prepared by Global Affairs recommended Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly grant a permit exempting Siemens Canada from sanctions against Russia and allow it to return the equipment for use in a pipeline carrying gas to Germany.
Brian Zinchuk: SaskPower just signed a massive carbon leakage interchange agreement with the States, and Estevan will suffer the consequences
We have hundreds of years of coal reserves in Saskatchewan. We have the technology to capture the carbon, and sulphur dioxide, if we implement it. We have dramatically reduced other forms of pollution from burning coal. And we can do all these things continually, reliably, and cheaply, wind or no wind, day and night, 24/7/365.

SaskPower signs 20 year agreement with the States to buy or sell up to 650 megawatts
One of the largest questions facing Saskatchewan’s economy is where will we be getting our electrical power in the next 10 years? SaskPower is looking down the barrel of the federally-mandated retirement of conventional coal-fired power by the end of 2029, and it’s going to take until at least 2032 to have any sort of nuclear power in place. Even then, that would only be one or two reactors, not nearly enough to replace our coal fleet, let alone meet the increased demand from electric vehicles.
Raging fire consumes 4th tank at Cuba oil storage facility
Flames engulfed a fourth tank at an oil storage facility in western Cuba on Tuesday as the raging fire consumes critical fuel supplies on an island grappling with a growing energy crisis.
Firefighters and specialists from Mexico and Venezuela helped fight the blaze in the province of Matanzas with boats, planes and helicopters as they sprayed foam on the containers, a first for crews since broiling temperatures had prevented them from doing so earlier.

Arcola town hall: Scott Moe on what he thinks the feds will do regarding nitrogen fertilizer
While it came up several times, this answer about the federal government’s recent movements to reduce the usage of nitrogen fertilizer sums up Moe’s and the provincial government’s thoughts on the matter. Let’s just say he has some healthy skepticism.
Nitrogen fertilizer is typically manufactured from natural gas.
Brian Crossman: Making knives, or “Let’s play Forged in Fire!”
It reminded me a lot of my days with a rig crew, getting cleaned up at the end of the day, joking around and just enjoying the feeling of getting through the day with nobody getting hurt.
Arcola town hall: Scott Moe on refining our oil, and value-added industries

Arcola town hall: Scott Moe on loss of Ceres canola crush plant, carbon credits, agricultural zero till, oil and gas
The question from Murray Henderson of Alameda asks about how Ceres Global Ag recently suspended its planned $350 million canola crushing plant at Northgate, and how it may have been lost due to the federal carbon tax. Moe and Bonk touched on recognizing the innovation in zero tillage and how agriculture should be recognized as a carbon sink. Listen to the end to hear a rather comical interaction Moe had with Catherine McKenna when he was environment minister and she was the federal environment minister.
Arcola town hall: Scott Moe on coal power, natural gas power, carbon capture and storage
Asked by Dave Sanders about how much the federal government is contributing to upgrading Saskatchewan’s power generation, Premier Moe explained the position federal policies have put us in. He touched on coal and natural gas, going back to the Harper administration, and the current Trudeau administration. Murray Henderson, a former coal miner, asked about coal as well as electric vehicles.
Arcola town hall: Scott Moe on fuel prices, possible cash to the people, carbon tax, separation, fertilizer, and energy security
Asked by Gordon Dixon, a farmer, about rising fuel prices and the federal carbon tax, Premier Moe hinted at possible options including looking at fuel taxes, possible cash refunds to the population, and deficit repayment. He also tackled the concept of Saskatchewan separating from Canada, federal jurisdiction, a “nation within a nation,” fertilizer and energy security.
David Yager: B.C.’s taxpayer-funded climate virtue-signalling
The biggest mistake these companies have made is selling transportation fuel in B.C.
And the communities they have reliably served for decades are being urged to use their citizens’ tax dollars to bring them to their knees.
While overlooking the fact that without car, truck, boat, rail and airplane fuel, many of these municipalities wouldn’t exist.
