    Canada is spending 80 billion in clean energy to remain competitive against the US after the climate policies in Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. What exactly does it say that the “climate apocalypse” candidate did so much more on climate that Canada had to play catch-up?

    It seems like your efforts would be better spent on making Canada a leader on climate, instead of heckling the Americans that forced you guys to actually do more.

        As a chemical engineer, let me dispell that notion for you. Your efforts are best spent mitigating the damage we already have from the climate while preventing it from getting worse. Because unless you can build reactors and distillation towers from scratch, you’re fucked.

            Oh I’d be fucked. There’s a reason why I’d like to avoid that haha.

            But hey, I would be happy to offer my services if we fall into a collapse. Drinking water and booze and energy all yours!
