" #ElectroStates are the exact opposite of #PetroStates. Electrified economies powered by renewables rely less on territorial control & more on technology, grids, manufacturing capacity & finance. #EnergyTransition is therefore not just an emission strategy, but a peace strategy."

"Oil dependence creates incentives for regime change, military occupation & erosion of international law. #PetroStates don't just extract energy. They export volatility resulting in a global system where climate & geopolitical breakdowns reinforce one another. #ElectroStates are the exact opposite."

"Oil is not just an energy source. It's a geopolitical accelerant that rewards coercion, undermines sovereignty and normalises permanent crisis. The Venezuela invasion illustrates #Petrostate logic at its most extreme. This is not an aberration, but a pattern."

"The converse of #WarsForOil is #EnergyTransition. When #Humankind completes the switch to #renewables, we stop fighting about oil. That particular thing that we've fought over so much is OVER forever. The terms that are emerging representing the future vs past are #ElectroStates vs #PetroStates."

" #Electrification will only continue to disrupt the auto sector, which is essentially 50% of customers for the oil Alberta produces, one of many big challenges to the status quo. Not good news for an industry, let alone a province, whose only plan is looking the other way and more of the same."

"All of the producing nations have a massive blind spot on how China has & will continue to completely & utterly disrupt the global auto industry. It now has the capacity to make 56% of the 88 million new cars manufactured on the planet & they'll most certainly be almost entirely EVs."

"The global South is where organizations like #OPEC have modelled all of the growth in oil demand from 2025 to 2050 will take place, always describing China as a consumer of oil, as opposed to the inventor, manufacturer & driving force behind the competition to oil, which is #ElectricTransportation."

"A lot of Canadians don't understand that #China is electrifying its economy. Not just transportation, EVERYTHING. And surprise, surprise: the rest of #Asia is copying China & China is selling its cheap technology, its #WindTurbines, #SolarPanels, #batteries, its #EVs & so on to those countries."

"Canada has the 3rd largest oil reserve in the world so when we think of oil, we think of supply. Because we have so much & can produce it cheaper than anybody else we think there'll always be customers for it. 'If we can just get it to market, my God, they'll buy it up as fast as they can!'"

"Study after study from very credible organizations say oil demand in #China is going to fall from roughly 17 million barrels a day to either between 5 or 7 million barrels by 2050, so Canada would be building a 1 million barrel a day pipeline to a market that is basically going to disappear."

#ExxonMobil wants nothing to do with #Venezuela. It's uninvestible. Oil companies don't want long cycle investments or high cost barrels. They want the exact opposite so they're all flooding into Guyana where you can get a break even at $30 a barrel & it's a friendly environment."

"In 1970 #Venezuela produced 3.7 million barrels of oil a day. Today it's down to 925,000. It's in a state of disrepair, operators simply worn out & can't be repaired, rusty pipelines, spent, damaged, useless wells. Most of the infrastructure there, the production equipment cannot be brought back."

Reflecting on that incredible #BadBunny message "the only thing more powerful than HATE is LOVE" and I find myself going back to one of my favourite #Gandhi quotes. I've watched #Superbowl halftime shows (& largely hated them) my whole life, I never expected to be inspired by one.

"Becoming an electo-state would mean investing decisively in clean power, electrification, and industrial strategy, not as climate virtue signalling, but as hard-nosed geopolitics. The question is no longer whether the world will move beyond oil, but how far Canada is willing to be left behind."

"The energy transition is therefore not just an emission strategy, but a peace strategy. Fewer choke points, fewer resource wars, fewer reasons to invade anyone at all. Canada now has to choose which future it belongs to. Clinging to Petro-state status ties the country to not just oil wars, but stranded assets and declining global relevance."

This quote serves equally well for #Fascism as it does #ClimateChange and indeed so much else. It's well past time we got serious and a great many of us, our leadership most of all, remain as frivolous, under-informed & drastically unsuited to the challenge as we've ever been. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, exponentially more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics." #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

"In 2025 we still didn't harness the #GlobalClimateMajority. We're still *very* quiet. How do we kickstart that? #ClimateAction has thus far been cyclical so when it comes around again, how do we make it stick? It's the most important question we can ask in 2026. It's the biggest hope we have."

#AntiGreenwashing is no invasion of #FreeSpeech. You're not supposed to be allowed to use Canadian airwaves for false advertisement. When you say #LNG is going to turn the heat down or all these things that #CarbonCapture can do when it isn't doing it so far & won't any time soon, you're lying."

"Industry has used its political weight through lobbying & public relations campaigns to get what they want & it's worked. Axing the #Antigreenwashing law shows the deeply political nature of the #ClimateCrisis. Our response must also be deeply political in tackling the power of these companies."

There's still plenty of reasons to be skeptical of this man, and I will continue to be so but this, at long last, was no small part of what he got elected to do. #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/20/opinion/mark-carney-just-shook-world

Whatever you think of his actions thus far (and I've been critical of many them, I call balls and strikes as I see them & will continue to do so) this was an important speech by Canada's Prime Minister #MarkCarney - full text below #cdnpoli https://paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney-doctrine

2026-01-20 18:35:26 UTC

"Build a #pipeline & you expect to run it for 50 years. Build a #NaturalGas / #FossilGas power plant, you assume 25 to 30 years of production. Build a #CarbonCapture & Storage plant, that's $16 billion for at least 50 years. Those are big, long-term risky assumptions about where the world is going."

" #ElectroState is the new term that's been invented because there's many countries in the world that are being so successful at electrifying their world and Canada could be going along that path. It's a critical choice right now because #FossilFuel infrastructure are big, expensive builds, right?"
