Thoughts on Climate Change. How serious is global climate change? Thursday, September 18, 2014. Do I use fewer resources to live than my parents? Both my parents were born in Estonia in the 1920s. Certainly I think it is clear that until the early 1960s my parents used fewer resources than I do now but after that I do use fewer resources than they did. Where I am Ahead of Parents. Electricity use - I may have more things that use electrical power but at the same time my newer fridge, stove, and washer us...

Thoughts on Climate Change. How serious is global climate change? Thursday, September 26, 2013. Up to 300MW of wind power proposed for the Greater Victoria area. And EDP Renewables Canada. That they are partnering to develop about 300 MW capacity of wind energy near Sooke. It is a relatively large development which is great news because it will significantly increase green power production in BC. The expected cost to build these wind projects is about $600,000,000 to $750,000,000. The area I have circled...

Thoughts on Climate Change: People Confuse Weather and Climate
http://climatethoughts.blogspot.com/2013/08/people-confuse-weather-and-climate.html
Thoughts on Climate Change. How serious is global climate change? Tuesday, August 6, 2013. People Confuse Weather and Climate. I am almost 48 years old but I do not honestly remember if there has been changes to weather from the 1960s or 70s because I was not old enough to really know the climate. Since I have been an adult I have lived the longest in the Lillooet region, 9 years and Victoria for 9 years, neither of these are long enough for me to see the trends on an observational level. To understand c...

Thoughts on Climate Change. How serious is global climate change? Thursday, April 23, 2015. A Graph of Rising Investment in Renewable Energy. I am amazed that solar power has fallen in enough in cost to be competitive with fossil fuels. It would not take much more of a drop to make solar cheaper than this will reduce the demand for fossil fuels. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Current Price of Oil. Where to Find Me.

Thoughts on Climate Change. How serious is global climate change? Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Site C" - Can we afford to build it? On many levels building the "Site C" dam. Peace Dams - built and proposed. The WAC Bennett Dam. Was finished in 1968 and created the very large Williston Reservoir and produces 13,100 GWh/yr. It is located 18 kilometers west of Husdon's Hope. The Peace Canyon Dam. Site A" dropped in favour of "Site C". Site B" dropped because of bad geology. BC Hydro has never let go of the ide...

After a long period of no new large scale dam projects in North America, we are seeing a number of them now under construction and more proposed.

Newfoundland and Labrador - Muskrat Falls - 4,900 GWh per year - $7.7 billion.

There are plans in Europe to run powerplants on burning wood to make electricity. The current rules for carbon neutrality allows this to be considered neutral as an activity but I disagree with that as an approach. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 6, 2013.

BC should take leadership in climate change and use WTO or NAFTA as a way to claim that not having a carbon tax is an unfair trade practice. It would not have to only be BC but other jurisdictions with carbon taxes that could go and make the same claim, but someone has to start. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
