  • India: hey, I need coal to generate electricity.

    PotatoMuncher: Hey. Lemme teach all about potato-batteries. We got all the potatoes you need.

    India: I got potatoes. I need coal for my power plants as well as foundries.

    PotatoMuncher: We’ve got world’s best aluminum and steel. Produced with renewable energy.

    India: I don’t want to rely on you. I got power plants and furnaces. I want to produce my own. Sell coal.

    PotatoMuncher: I seek to minimize emissions. I know what’s best for everyone else. No coal for you.

    India: Were you dropped on your head? Or just an ignoramus elitist with a colonial worldview?

    PotatoMuncher: I got all organic, gmo free, pesticides free, fair market, 100% Canadian potatoes.

                               Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew...
    

    India: Stick em where the poutine don’t shine.




  • No argument there from me.

    I’m not saying we should keep them dependent and let our shitty multinational corporations continue making bank selling them coal forever. I’m all for nationalizing it and using the profits to transition to a better solution.

    I’m just saying that they won’t stop using the only means of electricity generation they’ve already invested into just because we tell them it’s bad for the environment. Especially since we’re still burning coal for electricity in Saskatchewan.

    I thought we had stopped but someone corrected my stupid assumption.
