Climate Tab

I assume climate change is still a topic since chuck survived the purge.

Anyway, here is your daily dose of ESG cold water.

Let me tally that for you. The average cost of a hydro dam is around 10-12B. Same as a nuke plant. I know physics isnt a strong suit for the climate crowd, but hopefully they can do basic addition - I count 1.5 trillion...LOL

Canada will go broke chasing this fantasy. Maybe thats what they want.

Are you sure he survived? I see he hasn't posted for 5 days now. You can almost feel the collective IQ of the forum growing in his absence. And I see more and more names coming out of the woodwork without the incessant trolling.

It would be hard to argue that climate ( and changes within), and energy policies (particaularly ethanol and biodiesel, and farmland converted to solar or wind generation) aren't intimately entwined with marketing. As opposed to say posting endlessly about the effectiveness of Ivermectin on a virus, I find that information not useful for deciding when to market my grain.

Maybe a second coming under a brand new name, reborn again and again...

I think if we are going more electric the only answer is nuclear power all the renewables are intermittent power. If we go all electric in transportation heating houses etc than there will be no choice. I hope that they save the fossil fuel for us farmers because most of us are in remote locations and make as a rule longer trips. EV has to become alot more efficient to make that work for us.

So the impact of climate change has no costs? Tell that to the folks in BC.

2021 has proven to be the wrong year to argue that human caused climate change is not an issue to be concerned about.

But don't let that stop you from droning on that the status quo is the way of the future and nothing will ever change. LOL

Why not move all the social issues and politics to rural issues? There would be very few posts left in commodity marketing.

The republican "libertarian" separatists don't want any views that don't agree with theirs! LOL

Have a look at this for a better understanding of the problems they have in the Fraser valley;

Where will Canada get $1.5T dollars from chuck? Can we get that from carbon taxes or just print it up. LOL

Canada will be back to empty tundra by the time the woke climate cult is done.

When we have record breaking cold temperatures like in February 2021, it is just weather. When we have record breaking rain in B.C. It is climate change. I did hear an amusing blurb on the news this morning, I believe it was in Denmark, some customers and employees had to spend the night in an IKEA store due to heavy snowfall. More weather.
