It's Britain who has been at war with Russia for 80 years. Ironically, the only reason was to stay on the good side of its colonist emperor, and be its favorite. That British society is entirely programed to CIA/MI6 Russophobia doesn't stop when Daddy slaps them. Just got to work harder for daddy's love, is only political position in Overton window instead of pursuing best relations for citizens.

Democracy means you have the illusion of mitigating warmongering, and right to object to your destruction.

First, assume a spherical cow in a vacuum...

Parliament as a whole also includes the Senate

I believe that is false.

Also, last bill to be rejected by Senate was a private member bill. C-311, in 2010, which coincidentally was anti-oligarchy climate reporting law. Very rare for Senate to have any consequence in Canada.

Plastic is not a climate problem. Ocean pollution is mainly fishing nets. There is a garbage problem that automation can help with recycling. Making fishing nets out of cotton instead of nylon would be a big improvment.

Wood and paper is a renewable resource that could be used more. Global warming is especially a threat to vast northern forests with fire that are paper sources, while also permitting more/bigger tree growth in the regions. Harvesting trees is a solution to fires, and more demand an incentive to prevent fires.

Manufacturing with compressed sawdust could be a cost competitive alternative to plastic, but the binder could make the wood product less recyclable.

weird of CBC/headline to call Parliament "House". This makes confusing headline relative to possible US politics.

Alberta is a very sunny place, including, and especially useful, in winter. Prairies overall have few trees to cut down for solar.

Solar can create a lot of jobs in addition to being cheaper energy even in Alberta. Rulership that is an oligarchist protection racket shouldn't be allowed to extort the rest of us. Nationalizing the oligarchy is the most, arguably only, productive communist policy. Democracy doesn't work when they get to fix the outcomes.

thank you. Don't like making web account for tax data.

and make an image of the already existing Win10 partition to run in a VM.

can image make changes to itself when running?

They can include anything from highways, railways, ports, airports, pipelines, nuclear projects, clean energy projects and electric transmission lines.

Disgusting that dead ender energy pipelines and nuclear is included in this. Railways and Ports are important provincial and export trade boosts, where if railway expansion goes through norther less populated routes, is both a relatively safe energy transportation path, and reason to expand northern population/jobs. It could also bypass any future Alberta owned land.

Any nuclear energy program has to be BS weapons enrichment program. All US military spending must be eliminated to pay for these projects. Japan and South Korea have to be bullied into Canadian investment by threatening China and DPRK relations. Philippines defense pact cancelled. US must pay heavily for NORAD defense. Europe must be bullied into threat of Russian relations.

Overall concept is good, and glad provinces are on board. This is still peanuts relative to needed action to force US capitulation. It still looks like gaslighting prelude to further US subjugation.

bio fuels are not scalable. Much more solar energy (15x+ factor) is created by PV than by ethanol per area, and more efficiently turned into H2 (or e kerosene, btw) than the bio route. Bio route is airline PR to do something, but would make food scarce at scale.

300atm compressed H2 has more energy than batteries. 600wh/L electric. 900 wh/L heat. LH2 is equivalent to 1100atm compressed. LH2 is right for aviation because the tanks are light/simple, and they are filled shortly before takeoff. It's a big weight savings over kerosene.

Article says whole system is 1000wh/kg (including support machinery). There are 5 (including intermediate step) reactions of air and sodium. I'd guess they are using 100% humidity air. H2 is part of the reaction with humidity, and is a much more rapid and "exothermic" reaction than transformation to SaO.

Hydrogen is clean electrolysis too. Would cost less.

story real? More to it?

1200 Wh / kg of sodium

That is about the H2 energy release from sodium reacting with water (perhaps just humidity in air).

however gasoline is a whole 3800 Wh / kg

H2 has 33000wh/kg, and a fuel cell gets double the energy of a combustion engine/turbine, and so if you were starting with sodium, might as well pour water on it on the ground, and fill the plane up with automatic high pressure H2.

There are no emissions other than water vapour from the sodium process because the reaction leaves solid/liquid byproducts (that are too valuable to discard) other than H2.

It's a red flag that they don't compare to H2, which has significant aviation FC prospects/research, and has even higher energy density by weight, and the advantage of exhausting water vapour and so fuel weight goes down during trip.

Sodium is also produced by electrolysis. It can make a lot of H2 and heat by reacting with water. In fact, the reaction of 1 ton makes 1.8mwh of heat, + 1.4mwh of H2 heat value (900kwh electric), where hot H2 might have extra energy potential for electricity or combustion (not sure).

Sodium metal costs $2000/ton. Reaction with water makes 42kg of H2, and so about $46/kg of H2 is too high. The heat would improve the efficiency of SOFCs (described matches article) by getting the heat for free, and maybe 1.2mwh/ton electric. SOFCs have always had the advantage of working with polluted fuel blends.

Perhaps if sodium or H2 production was combined with desalination process, then cost of green sodium or H2 could be lowered.

Huawei has sold a lot of phones last year based on "surprising advances" from SMIC. They have shipping AI chips that are benchmarked based on announcements that drew skepticism at the time. Not sure about this company's product or how close it is to shipping.

2014 protests that non-american news agencies agree were escalated by pro-russian protestors?

There were uppity protesters, ok. They were overwhelmed and burned alive for their uppitiness. Nazi regime liked the result and felt no need to investigate or punish. Entire post 2014 Ukraine history is "those who protest nazi scum that hates Russians are subhuman and need to be exterminated." Utter joke of relying on revisionist pro nazi western and Ukrainian warmongering sources for reality.

“Ukraine must … withdraw all of its troops from the entirety of the territory of four Ukrainian regions claimed and mostly controlled by Russia.”.

The liberated regions of Ukraine voted to join Russia. Pro nazi west could reasonably negotiate Ukraine keeping its side of Dniepro river as long as it agrees to demilitarize Ukraine. Land is negotiable. Nazi hatred that stays militarized for purposes of perpetual terrorist attacks on Russia is not. Ceasefire for purposes of just building more fortifications and waiting for new arms shipments/production is not a productive purpose. Yes, Ukraine could have had far better terms if it had not provoked the war.

the wholesale invasion and slaughter of Ukrainians is the US’s fault, not the Russian invaders?

100%. Losing a war has no relationship to who started it, and the US/Ukaine nazi rulership position is $1 of damage to Russia is worth 1m Ukrainian lives. Russia spent 8 years attempting peaceful resolution. NATO refused all discussions on Russian security concerns, and proudly boasted that ignoring Russia resulted in the sucessful colonization of 2 new slaves.

proof you have that of US coup/puppeting Ukraine

Very easy to do your own research. Not debatable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcmNGvaDUs&pp=ygUPdWtyYWluZSBvbiBmaXJl

China used the same excuse during hong Kong protests.

Traitorous HK media mogul brainwashing "Love US values" was a clear shit disturber CIA asset intent on destabilization. That our media jumps on the CIA message opportunity to glorify destabilization is the inherent programing we are submitted to.

been 0 proof of any kind of ethnic cleansing

At least 10000 killed through shelling and other nazi operations. Odessa massacre.

the war was started by Russian aggression and a desire for USSR levels of territory

Complete lie. Russia's terms for peace are about the same as to have not started the war. No NATO, demilitarized if they need hateful rulers, but preferably denazified with fair elections. Terms that were always going to end war immediately.

examples of war where the side that is the defender was the bad guy/where aggression in order to violently control the political scene was viewed as a good thing. People routinely condemn the US for the very thing you’re claiming Russia is doing.

War on Russia was 100% provoked by US puppeted Ukraine. JFK was allowed to set red lines on Cuban missiles. Your theory is that all bar fights are started by the one seen throwing the first punch.

clicked link about a dead pigeon... was expecting/hoping to see some deepfake examples.
