Harper’s climate goal for Canada works out to 3% below 1990 levels. And Canada is now around 27% above our 1990 levels. While that is a 30% point spread, it only requires a 25% cut from our current total to get there. 

We are looking at a rapid fossil fuel cut, or a rapid rise in fossil fuel prices to buy “offsets”…or some of both. Canadians who are preparing seriously for this transition are going to be much better off.

These provinces would not be trying to outbid each other to attract clean energy alternatives if there was lots of competition out there.

These politicians see the handwriting on the wall. They are doing the work now to ensure their citizens have enough affordable energy in the coming decades.

If you are unfortunate enough to live in an area where your government is not preparing for the coming carbon restrictions, you are going to be paying a lot more money for a lot less energy in a few years.

It is hard to transition away from climate-damaging fossil fuels if you are at the end of the line for a limited supply of alternatives.

Even Harper says that Canada needs to cut its climate emissions by 30% in the next decade. That’s a lot less fossil fuel very soon folks.

The ones who don’t act soon will just have to “take a number” and get into an ever growing waiting line…
