Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Brantford most vulnerable to tariffs
#15
Um, with no fossil fuels, how do you suggest we make all the day to day products we utilize that are made from oil product derivatives, Like plastic. Here is the other thing, for every kilowatt of electricity you generate from renewable sources, (solar, wind) you need to build instant on power generating for redundancy. Most instant on is natural gas production. Now, just say we can generate enough electricity to power all your EV's, heavy machinery (which wont work) home heating and cooling etc... How do you plan to distribute it ? Do you have any idea of the infrastructure required to create a network of distribution? Every single neighborhood would have to have all distribution replaced with bigger transformers and heavier conductors... We are so far away from getting away from fossil fuels.... And no one said climate change is a joke. Many experts say we are still exiting the ice age. The climate has been changing forever and will continue to.
