Oil is dead?

[Sheepwheat]

Lizzie and that quebeker stated yesterday that oil is dead.

We are done with using oil they say. I can’t wait to see may swim the strait of Georgia and hoof her way over to Ottawa. And that quebecer? I say we give them a chilly awakening the coming winter.

I wonder how Quebec will heat their homes without heating oil or propane in the winters ??
I guess wood stoves again .
Be long cold winters I guess. Need more blankets

Nutcases and pretty socks. Wonderful combination!

May said her heart bleeds for the poor oil workers. Here's hoping she bleeds out.

I loathe to give Trudeau any praise but he threw ice cold water on those two radicals today. Good to see.

He knows there is no version of a modern canada without our energy industry. Maybe he will show it just once.

How can someone even heat their home without using any oil, it could be done but that is more work than I want do without using any thing produced from oil... gather some twigs to make a fire after you killed a deer with a bow and arrow you made; then fashion some cloths and footwear in between gathering berries for food and trying to dry the meat from your first kill. Now make an axe from a stone and a branch and start falling some trees, while building a sod hut to survive the winter in... That seems like a lot to do before winter. Best of luck to those up to the task...

I do burn a lot of wood throughout the winter for enjoyment and just like having a fire going. But I use a truck or skid steer, a chainsaw, axe and wood splitter powered by hydraulics from a tractor... not cheap heat and I am under no impression that it reduces any oil consumption...

Oil is dead as a means to pay for canuckistani socialism. The easy to produce, high margin stuff has been burned. This is how canuckistan was able to live a first world life style with a third world income stream for so long. Those days are now over. Anyways I am grateful for inexpensive natural gas as the furnace just kicked on.

Edmonton already has several net zero homes with very low utility costs.

I never read it , but let me guess
These net zero homes still wanna hook up to infrastructure that the rest of us pay for ? Or am i wrong ?

Here is the picture of the power meter from Chucks article:


So, yes, the rest of us get to subsidize this virtue signalling pet project though our higher electricity bills.

Net Zero homes - constructed without oil? Chuck you missed my point. People better wake up and realize killing every economic driver with protests and regulations will not end well; if you are to stupid to realize that then at least walk the talk and I will respect you, until you do that no respect for your convictions will be afforded by me...

They pay transmission and distribution charges just like you do. You may very well be buying the power they generate, but that is your fault for having an in-efficient home.
