The polling numbers are in:
71% of Albertawomen will vote no if there is an Alberta referendum.
81% of them said they would move away from Alberta.
That will leave Donbas Danielle and her petrostate frathouse of keyboard rage warriors.

Americans will spend the next 20 years paying the price - a market of last resort for Trump's petrostate oligarch allies whose oil reserves would otherwise go stranded.
It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!
It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

Solar power is security. Down with petrostate dictatorships.
Houthis are striking Yanbu export terminal instead of just the pipeline and crude loading are again suspended
A pipeline can be patched quickly, an export terminal takes weeks (6-8) to fix and the pipeline attack triggered the upsurge in gas & oil prices last month so expect that to get worse

American media is falling in line behind the new authoritarian petrostate.
After 11 years, my time at HuffPost is coming to an end tomorrow.
Last week, I learned HuffPost would be ending its dedicated coverage of energy and climate change.
So, I took a buyout.

the U.S. is basically aligning itself as the last big petrostate. And will go down with the fossil fuel ship; and China is aligning itself as the first electrostate. It is rapidly electrifying its economy, dominating the technology, supply chains, world markets, everything

Trump & Vance are monsters. Just absolutely shocking to bring one of the leaders of the free world into the Oval Office and dress him down to demand he thank Trump for Trump's greatness, while this actual leader tries to protect capitalistic democracy from Trump's flailing autocratic petrostate boss
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
