Seismic backflip — NetZero unravelling in real time around us
Mark Carney, recently elected the new PM of Canada, was Mr Net Zero Banker-man himself. Once upon a time, he was Governor of The Bank of England, and was so passionate about saving the planet, he set up a cartel of bankers called The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). Since 2021 this was the black hole sucking in national energy policies. At one point, all the bankers in GFANZ cumulatively managed $130 trillion dollars worth of assets — that’s trillion with a T — meaning it was so large it was five times bigger than the US economy. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they were in cahoots with the UN and were essentially acting like a quasi world government, setting targets and rules and bossing democracies around by boycotting loans to legal oil and gas companies. GFANZ were eventually neutered by 19 Republican States in the US who fired off legal anti-trust and fiduciary duty salvos.
The new Mark Carney seems to find Donald Trump more frightening than Climate Change
Never mind about the sixth mass extinction, Mark Carney now wants Canada to dig up more oil and gas so they don’t have to buy it from the US. What matters is not whether his great grandchildren will bake in a catastrophe — but whether he can win a trade war with Donald Trump and stop him stealing Alberta:

Mark Carney’s conversion from eco warrior to oil and gas champion
By Johnathon Leake, The Telegraph (UK)
Once considered the Bank of England’s greenest-ever governor, Mark Carney has seemingly undergone a Damascene conversion.
During his time at Threadneedle Street, he called on the world to leave 80pc of oil and gas in the ground.
But now, as Canada’s new prime minister, he wants to pump as much as he can to protect the country’s economy from Donald Trump’s trade war.
Canada is going to become an energy powerhouse, Carney told reporters last week…
Mark Carney was dropped in as Prime Minister in mid-March, but facing an election, the first bill he signed was to kill off the carbon tax — something the opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, was campaigning heavily on.
Meanwhile, Alberta, the energy rich “engine” of Canada, was talking about seceding if he won, fed up with all the carbon rules and “Liberal neglect”. But suddenly Carney went on to promise to build oil and gas pipelines, set up LNG export terminals and undo the restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. All the Trump talk of Canada becoming the 51st State and the imposition of tariffs may have slayed their carbon tax, and triggered new gas pipes and ports for Canada.
UPDATE: This is not a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump is a real threat (to Canada’s poncy green delusion). Carney is a smart guy (he’s selfish, serving the UN-banker-blob, but he’s not stupid). Trump has dropped the tariff bomb on Canada’s economy — he sees the weakness in the Canadian position and has upped the ante. Trump holds the cards. Carney knows he has to make Canada more self-sufficient. So paradoxically, Carney has to act like Trump, and not like a Greenie Banker, or Trump will be able to blow up Canada’s economy and even split the country in half. If Alberta leaves, there goes massive resources, and possibly British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba too.
Anthony Albanese is not that smart. But if he was, he’d be paying close attention to the Canadian situation. Trump is about to point out how utterly dependent Australia is on the USA.
Amazing what Donald Trump can achieve:
Canada to expedite nation building projects to counter Trump
By Nadine Yousif, BBC News
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will start pushing legislation that would fast-track ambitious national projects to boost Canada’s economy, now faced with Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called “nation building” projects – like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors – and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years’ time.
Apparently large gas pipelines are all OK now, just say the magic words: “carbon capture”.
UPDATE: Obviously the futile and useless “carbon capture” is just the marketing cover to hide that Mark Carney has just flipped 180 degrees. Carney doesn’t now, and probably never did give a damn about CO2 (he would have promoted nuclear power if he did). Right now he is playing poker against Trump but needs some fakery to pretend this is not complete capitulation and the end of the green fantasy. Carney is just putting out breadcrumbs for the green serfs, so they don’t revolt.
Carney Open to New Canada Oil Pipeline Tied to Carbon Capture
Bloomberg, June 3, 2025
Mark Carney said he sees opportunity for Canada to build a new pipeline to ship more oil to foreign markets, if it’s tied to billions in green investments to reduce the industry’s environmental footprint.
Carney said Canada still aims to ease trade tensions with US President Donald Trump, but in the meantime it must scrap internal trade barriers and build national-scale projects in order to take matters “very much into our own hands.”
“We will be a superpower when it comes to energy of all forms,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in his own remarks. “That’s our goal today, to make sure that we have large, national infrastructure projects that will benefit every Canadian from coast to coast to coast.”
Though the Bloomberg team that wrote carbon capture in the headline did not mention it in the story. Shh! The Blob-Media is helping Mark Carney pretend that oil and gas pipes can be green.
The US is the worlds top producer of oil at the moment, with 44 billion barrels of oil in reserve. Amazingly Canada has four times as much — or 171 billion barrels of oil in recoverable reserves, says the Telegraph. It’s amazing how stupid rich countries can be — to leave, as Alberta’s premier says, “$9 trillion worth of oil wealth we have in the ground”?
Speaking of stupid, perhaps the greatest and saddest irony is that Mark Carney once was the green-extreme Governor of the Bank of England. And while there, he helped tie the UK down in carbon markets and energy transitions that still cripple their economy. Can Trump save the UK too?
It’s amazing how Carney’s pathological TRUMP Derangement Syndrome motivated him to drop his anti-energy policies and jump on the energy bandwagon.
The carbon capture bit is a worry though. Does that mean Canada will be warehousing CO2 while exporting energy? I guess since they’ll be exporting the hydrocarbons they’ll just suck CO2 straight out of the atmosphere and warehouse it on site.
In fact, a woke Canadian company is already planning to do that.
251
Deep Sky says carbon removal is necessary tech in a warming world, but analysts say cost a barrier. Well, what a revelation.
320
Let’s hope it remains a barrier – no subsidies for idiotic CO2 “capture”.
210
This is not TDS. Trump is a real threat (to Canada’s poncy green delusion). Carney is a smart guy (selfish, serving the UN-banker-blob, but not stupid). Trump has dropped the tariff bomb on Canada’s economy — he sees the weakness in the Canadian position and has upped the ante. Trump holds the cards. Carney knows he has to make Canada more self-sufficient. So paradoxically, Carney has to act like Trump, and not like a Greenie Banker, or Trump will be able to blow up Canada’s economy and even split the country in half. If Alberta leaves, there goes massive resources, and possibly British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba too.
Anthony Albanese is not that smart. But if he was, he’d be paying close attention to the Canadian situation.
I will add to the post.
240
It is not clear that Carney has changed his stripes.
He is increasing industrial carbon tax and only got rid of the tax that people could see on their fuel bills.
His major investments are in the Brookfield group. One of their divisions is into carbon capture, so we anticipate lots of subsidies for CC.
His pipeline support depends on “consensus”. That means BC and Quebec can vito.
He is ignoring the low hanging fruit – repeal of the cap on oil/gas production AND repeal of the west coast tanker ban AND repeal of the environmental bill that makes energy economy impossible.
Meanwhile, he is trying to pass a bill that will allow the government to override any legislation it want for desired projects.
70
So much for Carney’s ‘stranded assets’ theory.
00
Who can make you do stuff you swore you wouldn’t … voluntarily … and act like it was your idea the whole time and nothing has changed?
A King.
*(For the sarcasm challenged … it is very funny that they’ve morphed from calling him Wannabe H!tLeR to Wanabe King. And then an anti-Trump candidate is elected only to immediately do Trumpian stuff. I’m concerned that there may not be enough sarcasm to meet the increasing demand.)
540
TRUMP is living rent-free inside Carney’s head, as well as the heads of many other Leftoids.
Imagine that someone’s life is so worthless and useless that they are utterly obsessed with TRUMP and can think of nothing else. You can see the hate in their eyes. In Australia’s case we have the PM Albanese, the Foreign Minister Wong, and even the Australian Ambassador to the US KRudd, all with severe TRUMP Derangement Syndrome. Deeply hateful and horrible narcissistic people.
530
I am surprised that KRudd is still there as Aussie Ambassador to the USA.
I wonder what he does all day since Trump and his White House staff won’t talk to him.
400
TRUMP also has the authority to expel KRudd if he wants to. TRUMP probably wants him to remain as a living clown show.
It is also hugely disrespectful of Australia toward the United States that we let someone remain as Ambassador to the United States who hates TRUMP so much.
No wonder Australia no longer has most favoured nation status with the US.
480
Trump 0probably doesn’t know who Rudd is and even if he did he would just ignore him. He is effectively ignoring Albanese by leaving the G7 after dinner before his scheduled meeting with him. When the world is a tinderbox why waste time on a nonentity like Albo. Pity about Australia.
361
I would prefer to think Trump has forgotten Krudd’s existance, and doesn’t think to send him back here.
10
Peter, same as he did here, not much.
120
We know about his trans & LGABC parties, perhaps some happen in circles…
Long as we pay for that, of course. Tax slaves.
60
I suspect that KRudd’s position prevents Anthony Albanese from being able to meet Donald Trump.
30
The left in the US already see Trump as a King, a man among men.
70
Long Live the King!
150
He is the President, subject to the will of the people. He is answerable to Congress and the Senate. Who say he is doing a great job. And the Supreme Court, who have backed his decisions as lawful.
Except that he has been assailed every day of his Presidency by lawyers, pundits, press and of course two impeachments, multiple massive judgements and endless vilification as Hitler, etc. etc.
Two assassination attempts. Illegal wire tapping when only a civilian, a call for assassination by the former head of the FBI and blame for for endless riots in Democrat cities, including Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles.
But he has survived because he has been right all along. And he has majority support from the US people in a democracy, remarkably now majority support among blacks and Latinos.
No King has ever endured what Trump has endured. What is amazing is that even shot, a centimeter from his head blown off, he stood up covered in blood and yelled fight, fight, fight. Who else in politics today would have dared stand up?
We are seeing history being made. The people who hate Democracy are the Democrats and Labor.
490
Honk, I think you may be right……If only we could carbon capture Sarcasm and sell it…….That’s it I’m done….Brilliant !!!!!
50
The centre of Net Zero is rapidly becoming Australia.
The richest country on Earth is also the most stupid.
20
I don’t think that Mark Carney will be available for Canada’s future. Not after the Supreme Court ruling.
150
Remember, it’s ALL about the money.
180
And unlimited POWER OVER OTHSERS.

From Duck Assist:
Mark Carney supports carbon capture as part of a strategy to reduce emissions from the oil industry while allowing for new pipeline projects. He emphasizes that any new pipelines must be linked to significant investments in technology that captures or offsets carbon emissions.
So he still thinks Carbon Dioxide is a witch and must be slain. We insist on massive indulgences, now go and sin no more. That’s not going to work well.
350
No. Carney probably knows very well that Carbon Capture is useless. Obviously the futile glow of “carbon capture” is just the marketing cover to hide that Mark Carney has just flipped 180 degrees.
Added this as an update to the post. Carney doesn’t now, and probably never did give a damn about CO2 (he would have promoted nuclear power if he did). Right now he is playing poker against Trump but needs some fakery to pretend this is not complete capitulation and the end of the green fantasy. Carney is just putting out breadcrumbs for the green serfs, so they don’t revolt.
180
I wonder if some of Carney’s reality will rub off on our Albo? Probably not. Albo is on a mission to make China Great Again. Australia will become the coffee shop capital of the world provided the shops have their own generators. Barristas might have to learn how to make Green Tea as well. Do you want a dim sim with that?
340
Is that before the completion of the silent invasion that has engulfed Australia Lawrie?
130
Do we really want Albo & co to invest billions of our $$$ on carbon capture?
80
Probably not. Albo gifted Carney an Akubra and a framed piece of memorabilia from the movie Gallipoli. He received a Stetson in return. I expect they were too busy posing for photos to discuss serious topics such as keeping the lights on.
140
‘Albo is on a mission to make China Great Again.’
Its in our best interest and becoming a BRICS member would be to our advantage. If Donnie dumps AUKAS we could become nonaligned.
34
Oh Great. We could become Tibet-#2?
Non-aligned only works if you have nothing the enemy wants.
We can’t and shouldn’t depend on any government that infects us with bioweapons, lies about it, and then hits us with massive tariff punishment when we ask for transparency. The BRICS is based on totalitarian-lying-dictators who imprison political enemies, enslave people, murder babies, and harvest prisoners organs for profit. There is no principle or civilizational value the BRICS hold that we want.
161
But our government still wants to sit in the dunce’s corner and embrace ruinables and Net Zero!

My sister & her husband are back home in NSW after a month in Canada, cruising up the Queen Charlotte Sound with a side-trip to Mt McKinley, USA, flying to Montreal then training all the way back to Vancouver: they were well-and-truly rugged up Greta-style in most of the photos they sent me. Am guessing climate change has yet to arrive in Canada Oh Canada… maybe in the next 10 years’ time?

Two things not mentioned in the article. Sure, the insane, pointless and unproven ‘Carbon Capture’. But also OIL. The XL pipeline. Alberta’s great resources.
Firstly carbon capture, carbon sequestration are utterly pointless because CO2 is in rapid world wide equilibrium. Grow a trillion trees and CO2 is unchanged. NASA proved this to the world. But it is obvious because CO2 is no higher over China/UK/USA/Europe/Russia/Japan than over Australia or the South Pole within 1%, across a year or across a planet. And when it slowly drifts up, the whole world drifts up in perfect lockstep.
Secondly. Oil and coal are only different from gas as longer hydrocarbons. A little more CO2 per kw. but again it’s fantasy as CO2 is not a problem and fossil fuel only adds 0.02% a year to total CO2. It’s barely detectable anywhere.
Besides even if CO2 warmed the atmosphere, where is there a problem? Most places where people live would welcome warmer days for most of the year. And summer is self limiting by evaporation and humidity. More heat means more evaporation which means more rain. Britain declares a climate emergency at 30C. I was in Bundaberg, Queensland and it was 30C. The enticing Motel pool had a sign. Closed for Winter.
Drought is a direct result of cold, not heat. And as CO2 goes up, so does the world’s food supply, tree coverage. ecology, life. We humans just survived an ice age! Only a madman wants a dry, frozen, dead planet.
Canada should know. Why they are so concerned about preventing warming is beyond logic. It’s old Presidential propaganda from Al Gore, the original billionaire Henny Penny. The sky is falling. Only Al Gore and the UN can save us. That was 38 years ago.
530
It is important that we worry about the other component of combustion, water. Which has killed millions and millions over history. Many of our greatest disasters are from H2O. Scientists all agree. Water is a killer.
But people do not fear extra water. They do not fear the seas rising and drowning from all the extra water from combustion. But Climate scientists agree. H2O is also a far more powerful greenhouse gas, a thousand times more important. And water will build up in the air until we drown. It will stay in the air for thousands of years.
Why don’t we fear water? Because the whole idea is laughable. There is just so much more water already on the planet. And it is obviously in constant rapid equilibrium from ocean evaporation to rain and snow to rivers to sea. And we consume water all the time. It is essential for life. Exactly the same is true for CO2. Try holding your breath.
I blame the UN for this whole farce, this insanity, this fear of an element of the Periodic table, Carbon.
And how much use has the UN been anywhere. In Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza and now Iran? Why do they hate Israel with 500 motions against Israel and never a criticism of Iran?
As with the UN destruction of our way of life, the lack of the UN in world affairs is a sign their 80,000 people are getting paid for nothing. As with the UNWRA, the UN are the real problem. Along with their evil friends, the 75% of the world which are military dictatorships and wish destruction on Democracies in Europe, America and Australia/NZ. And our kowtowing polticians agree, we are carbon junkies and should be punished.
470
And if tiny Israel falls, the Christians are next. America the Great Satan. Then who will defend the free world? Albanese or Starmer or Macron or Carney? They are all on the Climate Kool Aid. And trying to please their massive numbers of new Muslim voters.
480
It’s amazing that water is such a deadly substance and yet people, even Leftoids, go to extraordinary lengths to live by it, or vacation by it.
Similarly with CO2, falsely accused of raising temperatures. People tend not to holiday or live in cold places. They tend to prefer warm places. Even Leftoids go to warm places to holiday, not cold places unless for winter sports like skiing or exotic adventure locations like Antarctica.
And notice when climate “scientists” go on research expeditions it tends to be to exotic warm places or exotic cold places.

The Chicomms are buying up ports everywhere.
Even in Australia.
In 2015 under the fake conservative Turnbull Liberal regime the port was leased to China for the extraordinarily low price of $506 million for 99 years, a mere $5.1 million per year for a major strategic asset. Australia is currently trying to regain ownership but I wonder what the price will be?

As for the Lease, terms and conditions require the lease holder to carry out all repairs and maintenance required and add improvements including a cruise ship terminal.
All expenses therefore no longer a Northern Territory Government budget responsibility

Welcome to Labor Victoria
The Victorian Labor government has recently announced a ban on gas and oil exploration both at sea and on land in Victoria. This decision is part of a broader commitment to transition towards renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The ban aims to protect the environment and align with the state’s climate change goals.
Key Points of the Ban:
Scope of the Ban: The ban applies to all forms of gas and oil exploration, including offshore and onshore activities. This move is intended to prevent any new fossil fuel projects from being developed in the state.
Environmental Commitment: The government emphasizes that this decision is crucial for protecting Victoria’s natural landscapes and ecosystems. It reflects a growing recognition of the need to address climate change and promote sustainable energy sources.
Transition to Renewables: The ban is part of a larger strategy to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. The Victorian government has been investing in renewable energy projects and aims to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix significantly.
Public Support: The decision has garnered support from environmental groups and community members who advocate for stronger action on climate change. It aligns with public sentiment favoring a shift away from fossil fuels.
Future Energy Plans: The government is expected to focus on expanding renewable energy infrastructure, including solar and wind projects, to ensure energy security and affordability for residents.
This ban marks a significant step in Victoria’s energy policy, reflecting a commitment to environmental sustainability and a transition towards a cleaner energy future.
170
Extraordinarily, as Victoriastan banned gas and oil exploration (with the help of the fake conservative Libs who also banned fracking in collusion with Labor) they are also building a gas import terminal to import gas from overseas. Probably gas which was originally exported from Australia.
The very definition of insanity. You can’t make this stuff up.
We are being ruled by lunatics.
330
We used to make our own gas from coal. Firstly from Newcastle. Then from brown coal. Now we have to import and pay for what we are not allowed produce and used to be free. Cui Bono.
180
Yes, we had a coal gas plant in the 1950’s in central Scotland, close to where we lived The coal residue, after degassing, was known as coke, and we purchased that to burn in our Rayburn stove, once we got it going on coal. Great heat and very efficient.
190
We had a coke boiler in the kitchen when I was a child. I loved the heat it put out.
140
Relatives of mine had an art deco style apartment overlooking Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) built mid-1930s and it had a furnace in the basement that burnt garbage from chutes on each level of the building and also a coke bunker, the combined “fuels” also heated a communal hot water system.
The building was also connected to town gas supply for cooking stove and room heater.
120
So we pipe the gas to the liquifaction plant, burn heaps of gas compressing, expanding and chilling it, pump it on a ship, ship goes OS, then comes back to Vicdanistan and performs the exact opposite and magically have gas flow into the gas mains.
Megawatts of wastage.
80
Utter bollocks!
How is clearing the landscape and dotting it with wind turbines and solar panels “protecting Victoria’s natural landscapes”?
230

100
Oh Oh, but that’s ‘different’.
10
Does that include oil bearing sands?
50
There’s a word that rhymes with bankers starting with w that accurately describes any financial people associated with the great energy transition. Great because that also describes the earnings as fees they receive in handling all the green money. All our money, by the way. Not theirs. It’s why there is investment in this sector. None of these people believe in AGW/ climate change. What they believe is they’ll make lots of money from the transactions. Then other people also profit from this giant scam. Even the Australian Labor Party by encouraging workers to invest in industry superannuation funds financing wind turbines and solar panels. With the unions as intermediaries. It’s the biggest shell game in history.
240
Not to worry. Carney hasn’t shed the green mantle just yet. The carbon tax erasure was to neutralize Polievrre. He still kept the industrial carbon tax which is invisible to the average voter. The pledge to maximize oil and gas production was for election purposes.Now he talks about decarbonized oil as if it was a real thing. Pipelines will require concensus across all provinces which will be a challenge since BC is pure green, and Quebec will never do anything that benefits Canada.
230
Right you are. He said he wants to make Canada an energy superpower and build pipelines, but he also said nothing will happen in Canada without a national consensus between all the provinces and indigenous groups.
In other words, nothing will happen in Canada. It’s all just pretend.
30
This is correct. None of the projects that Carney is talking about will be built. He would lose his lunatic left base if they were. This is pure BS politics. He is simply trying to quell the separatist movement in the west by pretending he is in favor of energy. It is all lies. Keep in mind he was a senior advisor in Trudeau’s disastrous cabinet so nothing is going to change. He is Justin Trudeau with a 3 digit IQ.
50
Now if only Australian leaders would look at reality not fantasy. And give us cheap relieable power, sourced from what we have lots off. Coal and Gas.
200
Labour, Greens, Teals want to destroy our Eastern Australia environment at a cost of 7 to 9 TRILLION $ and yet the Canadians want to develop and export another 9 TRILLION $ of oil to make them an energy superpower.
We want to bankrupt our future by wasting TRILLIONs of $ while Canada wants to make more TRILLIONs by exporting more oil that the market demands.
Which country would you bet on by 2035 or 2050?
Very simple sums that any Kindy kid could easily understand but way beyond the understanding of our lefty loonies in Canberra.
130
Energy superpower…gee where have I heard that before…and that is what Albo meant when he said Canada and Australia are similar…delusional “leadership”….
190
Except delusional is the nicest possible explanation for insanity. There are simpler ones.

Not sure I want to share the same values as Canadian politicians anyway. I say politicians because I suspect like Australia, most Canadians either don’t believe or are disinterested in the whole climate change fiasco as well. Any Canucks here???

Trump has had to leave the G7 early. He refused to sign Starmer’s and the G7’s wishy washy nice statement that Iran should behave itself and negotiate its nuclear program. As if one of the world’s greatest oil countries needs nuclear power? And a country whose leaders have sworn openly and repeatedly and without hesitation or misinterpretation to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. How clear do they have to be?
Sadly there is no time for Albanese to present his cunning plan to fight China with non existent American nuclear submarines. Pathetic.
Besides, Mr Wong is on the side of the Iranians and anti Israel. Like all Chinese communists.
350
Even the extremely anti-Western, anti-Israel, pro-Iran IAEA which answers to the UN admitted that Iran had enriched uranium to 60%, see link.
There is no conceivable need for any U-235 enrichment beyond 2% to 5% for civilian nuclear power.
And as you say TdeF no need for Iran, as an oil and gas rich country to have nuclear power. Regardless, if they did need it they could have purchased off the shelf. And why make your own fuel before you’ve even built a reactor core, pressure vessel, etc.? None of it makes sense.
Iran was obviously making a bomb.
Obama weakened the sanctions designed to stop them getting a bomb plus sent them billions in cash and Biden further weakened the ones that TRUMP put in place.
The world should be thanking Israel for stopping the Iranians getting a bomb which not only would have been used against Iarael but other Western countries as well. Instead there is just hostility. It shows how weak the West is and how far it has fallen morally (except the US).

Something like the Labor Renewable Energy Target 32% and rejection of coal and gas for electricity generator purposes, since 2022 RET 82% and transition not only behind planned build schedule but short of investors, and oldest installation announced for closure and no repowering of that location.
Coal power stations now being asked to extend operating life and gas turbine generator plants are the new transition fuel.
Transition fuel?

Why is it that no one asks for a cost benefit analysis of Climate Change? Or saving the Great Barrier Reef? ($444million in cash to Lucy Turnbull) Which clearly did not need saving. Or desalination plants. Or Victoria’s Big Build, $200Billion for nothing. Or 30,000km of transmission lines? Or investing $1Bn in the failing Quantum Computer idea?
It’s not that any of these things are good or bad, but in a democracy none of them were part of any mandate I know. Every government has promised NO CARBON TAXES IN A GOVERNMENT I LEAD except we are being shut down, bled dry and left with nothing. And now Victoria alone has no gas. And even repairing gas appliances is illegal. When this started we had infinite gas supplies and nothing has actually changed in our energy supplies except everything to harvest those supplies has been destroyed. By people who have done nothing to replace them. A few coal plants are still supplying 83% of Australia’s energy. And not being maintained.

Yup, gas is transition fuel – transition to coal and nuclear.

The fear is that it is a transition to the Eighteenth Century.
Hiw, then, do you power your sewage systems, let alone mobile phones or aircraft carriers?

Carney was a useless and damaging Bank of England Governor, appointed by a useless Chancellor – although now being made to look competent by the floundering Rachel from Accounts – in Boy George Osborne famed for his tax on pasties and screwing up the housing market. Carney allowed cheap credit to become entrenched in our economy by his failure to raise interest rates post 2008 as every time one of his goals for raising rates was met he simply moved the goalposts. An utter globalist fascist tosser.

Nice.

HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW, reality comes smacking him in the head now he very quickly rushes for petroleum fuels to save himself from certain failure that he had carefully been constructing for a while.
Net Zero really does mean Nothing!

Australia has been a trend setter, renewable energy only transformed by gas now the transition fuel, and of course coal power stations being subsidised to extend generating life.
Tonto chasing that tail?

Sorry folks. Carney has put a caveat on any new investments in resource projects in Canada. The Liberals are quickly passing a bill which contains the phrase, can be built if in the “national interest”. This is just a catch all phrase where nothing will be in the complete national interest, as provinces, indigenous etc can all interject using it’s not in the national interest. We are doomed. Nothing will be built.
