Energy credits — what a bunch of vacuous rhetoric.

The reality is that it’s energy being taken away from the overall grid, requiring a larger grid and thus prolonging our dependence on non renewable energy while we build up renewable sources.

If we weren’t so wasteful with our energy we wouldn’t need as much of it and it’d be easier to go fully renewable.

Maybe it would’ve if governments taxed them properly and spent that money to save the planet

This feels like the dot com bubble all over again.

I assumed methanol is the first to go because of its lower boiling point — 65 degrees compared to ethanol at 78

Dude ikr. You have to actively try to make methanol when you’re distilling, like only collecting the foreshots over and over.

And by that point I’d be super easy to tell it’s not regular alcohol because it will smell like nail polish remover and other volatile compounds.

Right? Even from a purely selfish perspective, this is unwarranted and wanton whereas if you go after a company you can make money.

Facebook marketplace for used books and used goods in general. Lots of good quality basically new stuff on there for cheap. I guess because so many Canadians just buy stuff without thinking and then it piles up and they need to make space.

Some neighbourhoods also have some boxes on posts (not sure what they’re called, they resemble mailboxes) where people can take and give away books for free as well.

You can also type ‘bookstores’ in google maps and seeing what local stores will come up.

The problem is that despite western countries granting independence to their former colonies, the world order and the global economy is still set up in a colonial way. The global south remains dependent on western support.

I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France. An isolated region like that greatly benefits from the economic support that being part of a larger country provides, even if it comes at the cost of racism.
