The significance of this IEA finding from 2024 is that continued global deployment of BEVs for land transport will decrease fossil fuel consumption in 2025 or 2026. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 #TheFutureIsElectric

Key IEA figure shows demand growth for oil has declined from ~5.25 mb/d in 2021 to ~0.8 mb/d in 2024. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨🔋 #FossilFuelsAreStrandedAssets
IEA data shows demand growth for oil has been eliminated for road transport and is declining for aviation and shipping and is now negative for other sources. Additional demand growth remains in aviation and as feed stocks.

China's threat to legacy automakers explained in one chart.

As EVs disrupt the global auto industry, Alberta should consider which sector is upstream from autos: oil.

Change is coming soon, @ABDanielleSmith, @BrianJeanAB, and @rebeccakschulz, not in decades.

a tremendously large de facto carbon tax on the entire planet and he’s also eating the resulting political backlash AND with him being a drill baby drill guy the obvious and natural reaction is to double down on renewable deployment. it’s almost perfect lmao

EV (electric motor + battery) = 87% to 91% efficient

ICE (combustion engine + gasoline) = 16-25% efficient

The ONLY variable that can change is batteries.

Batteries are already cheap and energy-dense. For the next decade, they'll become even cheaper and better.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Trudeau-era environment minister Steven Guilbeault has published a resignation letter detailing the reasons for his departure from Carney's cabinet.

He directly cites today's MOU:
Statement by Steven Guilbeault This afternoon, it is with great sadness that I submitted my resignation to the Prime Minister as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. As you know, I chose to enter politics to champion the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment. Over the past ten years, our country has made historic progress in reducing climate pollution, protecting nature and the environment, while our economy continued to grow. I believe I have contributed to these advancements, and I remain deeply proud of the achievements I have helped bring forward: • Standing up to tech giants and major polluters • Implementing Canada's first emissions reduction plan, slowing their growth and placing them on a downward trajectory • Establishing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation • Modernizing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act • Developing the country's first national climate adaptation strategy to protect our communities • Eliminating harmful single-use plastics • Implementing the most ambitious nature conservation plan in the country's history • Continuing the modernization of the Official Languages Act • Making historic investments in arts and culture, including during the COVID-19 crisis and in the most recent budget Changes in our relationship with the United States have led to profound disruptions affecting the global order, diplomatic relations, and the economy. I understand and share the Prime Minister's efforts to ensure our country First, there was no consultation with the Indigenous nations of the West Coast of British Columbia or with the provincial government, who would be greatly affected by this agreement. Furthermore, a pipeline to the West Coast would have major environmental impacts, particularly as it could cross the Great Bear Rainforest, contribute to a significant increase in climate pollution, and move Canada further away from its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Lifting the tanker ban on the West Coast would also significantly increase the risk of accidents in the region. This moratorium was established in 1972 following a unanimous vote in the House of Commons, notably because navigation in the Hecate Strait is highly dangerous. Its removal would also hinder the creation of a marine conservation area in the Great Bear Sea, a project our government has been actively developing with Indigenous partners and the government of British Columbia for several years, protecting more than 100,000 km of this ecologically sensitive region. We cannot hope to decarbonize our economy without decarbonizing the electricity sector. The proposal to exempt Alberta from the Clean Electricity Regulations in exchange for stricter industrial carbon pricing rules and the Pathways project is, in my view, a serious mistake. As shown in the analysis submitted to the House of Commons, without this regulation, the electricity sector-which has halved its pollution over the past 20 years-would return to an upward emissions trajectory. This regulation also saves lives by reducing air pollution, generates over $3 billion in healthcare savings, and ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 182 million tonnes. Finally, over the past few months, several elements of the climate action plan I worked on as Minister of the Environment have been, or are about to be, dismantled: the consumer carbon pricing, the Zero Emission Vehicle standard, the oil and gas sector emissions cap, the framework to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, and the Clean Electricity Regulations. In my view, these measures remain essential to our climate action plan. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Laurier-Sainte-Marie for the trust they have placed in me since 2019. I will continue to represent them as their Liberal Member of Parliament with dedication. I also thank the Prime Minister for the honor of serving in his cabinet and as his lieutenant in Quebec. When I entered politics, it was because I had a deep conviction that I could make a difference in fighting climate change and protecting our environment. My commitment to leaving a better world for the future of our children and our planet remains unchanged. Steven Guilbeault Member of Parliament for Laurier-Sainte-Marie

Attacks on energy transition are attacks on workers
It’s clear that those advocating for the necessary “just transition” from fossil fuels to renewable energy care more about workers than fossil fuel supporters.

For the past 18 months, @ABDanielleSmith has been slagging the @IEA's energy modelling and pumping @OPECSecretariat's slow energy transition narrative.

Well, the IEA won, Smith/her Saudi pals lost.

Peak oil demand by 2030 or earlier.
