RE: https://flipboard.com/@ctvnews/ottawa-q9ejf5frz/-/a-GmMalqgzRvSkAtMkE2_-cA%3Aa%3A2823982346-%2F0 You could set your watch by this shit: govt announces a ‘break’ in fuel taxes, industry responds by raising prices. And of course there’s always industry Spox Dan McTeague to helpfully explain with some ‘raison du jour’ why this is ‘necessary’. This time it’s the evergreen: ‘switch to summer blend’. #Oiligarchy #FossilFools

All of this is reason to end the #oil #addiction API gravity tells us how light or heavy the oil is. • US WTI: ~40° API — light, golden, and easier to refine • Iran Light: ~34° API • Russia Urals: ~31° API • Venezuela: ~8–12° API — extremely heavy, like tar Oil quality plays a major role in global energy economics and politics — not just the amount of oil a country has. The lighter the crude, the cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel. Heavier crude requires more refining. #energy #crude #pimpsofthepumps #fossilfools

The EPA's own analysis shows it will increase costs by $1.5T through 2055, outweighing the benefits. (And that doesn't even include the costs of carbon emissions which could add another $4.7T) #climate #fossilfools https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/15/trump-climate-ruling

Yeah, but, what's a mere 900000 tonnes among friends? (as if you needed more evidence of how unserious this govt is about climate targets) 900,000-tonne miscalculation makes carbon target even tougher https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/585322/900-000-tonne-miscalculation-makes-carbon-target-even-tougher #NZPol #climateChange #FossilFools
