Ontario cabinet minister Stephen Lecce (who has made bad education decisions too!) is who decided to buy new nuclear reactors for Ontario that rely on foreign fabrication and foreign-enriched fuel - leaving 🇨🇦 open to the geopolitical whims of other nations including the U.S.. i thought the entire point of the CANDU reactor design was to avoid this bullshit! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-nuclear-supply-chain-smr-darlington-uranium-enrichment-9.7289297 #EnergyPolicy #Nuclear #OnPoli

Human-caused climate change made the hot and dry conditions responsible for Spain's record-sized inferno 20 times more likely to happen and it doubled the chances of extreme fire conditions for the flames in France, scientists at World Weather Attribution calculated in a rapid analysis Thursday, conducted while fires were still burning.

Power prices are finally falling. Experts say data centres could change that By Daniel Mercer Consumers should brace for hefty increases in the cost of generating electricity as data centres suck up vast quantities of power faster than new plants can be built, experts say. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-28/data-centre-explosion-could-spark-power-price-hikes/106963258 #DataCentres #EnergyPolicy #RenewableEnergy #DanielMercer

finally, the CBC connects the dots. as a scientist myself, i agree with this conclusion with all my brain cells and my entire heart. STOP FOSSIL FUEL BURNING — NOT IN SEVERAL DECADES — NOW!! SPEND ALL EIGHTEEN BILLION DOLLARS OF ANNUAL FEDERAL SUBSIDIES OF FOSSIL FUELS ON RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD. sorry not sorry for shouting. i have a wildfire smoke headache. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/wildfire-climate-emissions-smoke-9.7274862 #EnergyPolicy #FossilFuels #RenewableEnergy

smoke goes both ways between 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸. that's the thing about air — it's shared across borders, and no country controls the wind direction.

The 🇺🇸 president & members of congress lashed out at 🇨🇦 over the smoke pouring across the border this week. They should look in the mirror.

i would also add that both countries should look at themselves in the mirror — hard — about their energy policies which are contributing to climate change which is contributing to more frequent bigger fiercer wildfires.
