VW battery plant Ontario

[furrowtickler]

So what’s the story on that boondoggle?

[chuckChuck]

The boodoggle in Alberta and Saskatchewan is the tens of billions of dollars of cleanup for the oil industry that the the petro premiers want taxpayers to pay for!

[fjlip]

Gybow says capitalism is STOPPING people from buying Ford EV, needs to FORCE us!

Aw poor Ford, losing $$ and we are to blame!

[shtferbrains]

Are you thinkin these battery plants look like a huge boondoggle Chuck?

We can agree on that one!

[cropgrower]

Its like how he used to try to justify the grooming of kids by saying sombody else done worse , same old garbage over and over again

This is the problem with Chuck and people like him.
Someone brings up a valid point ( such as the boondoggle that is the VW battery plant in Ontario) and they just bring up a completely useless argument that has NOTHING to do with a viable response. Such as, " the only boondoggle is the abandoned wells that will cost taxpayers billions"..

WE BLOODY WELL KNOW THIS. WE KNOW THIS.

NOW LETS LEARN A GOD DAMN LESSON AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT SO IT DOESNT HAPPEN AGAIN.
but but but but.. oil and gas... oil and gas...

YES OIL AND GAS SUCKS WITH WHAT THEY GOT AWAY WITH AND HOW MUCH IS LEFT TO THE TAXPAYERS TO SORT OUT>.

Stating that this is the problem (singular) with Chuck would indicate that there is only one problem. HIs whataboutism is far from his only shortcoming.

We all know the oil sands received many subsidies, incentives and government help to get going but you seem to forget this?

And the oil industry still gets subsidies and wants taxpayers to pay for the cleanup which is another multi billion dollar subsidy!

But the only subsidies you ever mention are to the green economy? LOL

The Alberta Utilities Commission said it plain and simple so you can understand.

There is hardly any environmental risk or land loss in Alberta with the renewable sector when compared to oil and gas! Get it!

[WiltonRanch]

You deflected again cc.

[cropgrower]

And has oil and gas not made your life better CC ? or shud people have stayed living as they did 200 years ago ? Batterys will never do for humanity what oil has done

[chuckChuck]

Of course it has made life better and so will other energy sources.

But even Steve Harper said we would stop burning fossil fuels as an energy source.

My solar electricity does the same job as any other electricity. Your toaster and coffee machine can't tell the difference.

[furrowtickler]

Yup Harper did , logically by 2100 , not 2030

[cropgrower]

yes but their is no toast or coffee when the sun goes down , useless when needed most in the long cold winters in canada

One MAJOR difference between the battery boondoggle and the abandoned wells is that gubmint has already taken in a lot of revenue in the form of royalties and other taxes from the wells. Thus far the battery boondoggle has been ALL costs and no revenue. Another major difference is that the orphan well fund is provincial and the royalties are provincial. The battery boondoggle has taxpayers in the west on the hook for battery plants in ontario and quebec. This why the administrators need to ban chuck from this site now otherwise he will drive the intelligent off of here.

[chuckChuck]

You want to cancel me! LOL

That's not a libertarian view of the world is it? What happened to free speech? Is that only for right wingers?

But nuclear will run a coffee machine and get rid of coal and gas plants, but you are okay with that?
