Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
However much I'd like to see it happen, I do see problems in cutting them off too. It's not easy to cut power on such scale, but if possible, i'd be in favor of intermittent outages. Random on/off periods of random length. The only thing that sucks much more than no power is unreliable/unpredictable power.

I think about what the Dutch did to the De Witt brothers for selling out their territory to the enemy. They were hung upside down with broken legs, sliced up. stabbed, fingers and toes cut off, faces cut off, genitals cut off, then disemboweled them alive.
I personally prefer the big bagel slicer option but to each their own.

American here in a state bordering Canada. We get energy and trade with Canada. Our winter is basically over.
Please cut the power for an hour. Make it daily. Increase it to 2 hours. Do it at the most annoying times.
Hospitals and such have backup power systems, so a short outage wouldn’t directly harm anyone. (I’m sure some elderly shut in will coincidentally die of old age and it would get blamed on the outage) But it would get everyone’s attention and mostly be really fucking annoying for some people.

Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.
Just like the people using this as reason
US can’t electrify transportation, the real answer is this is irrelevant.- US has 80% of its population in urban, so whatever the people in rural areas use for transportation is just a small piece. They’re fine.
- While I have no idea whether China has a similar population pattern, I can look at a picture of their high speed rail map and see it cover most of the country. I can also feel confident that a vast majority of their economic activity is in cities. Whatever people in rural areas do for transportation is just a small piece. They’re fine
their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.
Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in. Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles. Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project. Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments
It’s a shit country with no human rights, but their leadership does seem to understand the need for renewable energy and reduced carbon, much more than my country’s leadership does

Americans rarely think outside of terms of “America” and “not America”

Irrelevant. The fact that they are manufactured there does not equate to them being used there.
Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles.
Also irrelevant. Most of Europe uses electrified rail.
Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project.
Not a good argument. The ecological damage caused by monolithic damn projects is massive. While they are "renewable" once brought online, they aren't a good overall option. Smaller damns that do not disrupt the natural flow of a body of water is the modern preferred method.
Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments
It sure isn't China. That was literally the topic of one of the links I shared. They've been lying about their carbon credits. And they've been building TWO COAL POWER PLANTS PER WEEK FOR YEARS!
I've said that a few times to the point I'm getting suspicious...

When you find out how the world works, you are going to be quite embarrassed by this comment.

You are clearly no longer an ally. You are a beligerant state with out working rule of law.

America is absolutely not a true ally so long as Trump is in charge. At best, America's allies can only trust us for about 2 years under idealistic political circumstances, and I have very, very seldom seen idealistic political circumstances in my lifetime.

Bless your heart.

Just look at this ARCO!
Its on biaches!

That was literally the topic of one of the links
One on faking a facade to look greener than they are and one on scamming a foreign country on that country’s carbon market. I see nothing like you claim.
-
Come on, you know better than that. Winter isn't over until May-two-four.
-
No mercy.
-
The few of us that aren't awful are fair sacrifices, please, do whatever it takes to dethrone the maniacs.
-
Just keep it in mind when some of us start needing to flee. Some of us just want to be safe from the fascists and to work together with our neighbors around the world in a cooperative way.

Wow, that's actually slightly higher than our notoriously high BC prices. I was assuming it would be something like $1CAD/L which is a low price we'd dream of here.
