Replying to @bcshaffer @andrew_leach
Thanks Blake. Perhaps I'm like the guy in Monty Python saying "it's only a flesh wound!", while it's clear to everyone else it is something much more.

New research suggests that hydrogen, when leaked into the atmosphere, may be twice as potent a GHG than previously thought. But is this change an important consideration for the benefits of using hydrogen as a low carbon fuel for energy? Turns out the answer is no. 1/3

Canada just got really serious about climate policy, #netzero serious. There will be the usual bloodbath fights about carbon pricing vs. performances standards, complementary regs, etc. but the marker of ambition just moved, in a serious way.

I think lots of us working in the clean energy industry don't want to express how afraid we are of climate change, because we'll be seen as alarmist and self-serving or at least unhelpful. And there's no good data to calmly cite on how bad it is going to be.

Are investment carbon footprints good for investors and the climate? My take in @IRPP on an approach @SFU, @uOttawa, and others are using. xitter.cf/IRPP/status/9276055220…

Are Canada's attempts to set a price on carbon being undercut by subsidies to the fossil-fuel industry? #cdnpoli glbn.ca/BW7mwX
