We need a Green New Deal!! "This trade war should jolt us out of our reliance on volatile fossil fuels and accelerate our transition to clean, secure and reliable energy. Last year, China and India installed so much solar power that it exceeded all new demand for the first time: in other words, fossil fuel use has stopped growing for the two biggest populations on earth. This year, the IEA predicts that global investments in renewables will hit $2.2 trillion. Twice as much as fossil fuels. The global economy is in the midst of a renewable energy revolution and here in Canada we are buying a new pipeline for an industry making record profits. Make it make sense. The only energy sovereignty lies in clean energy: no war can cut off supply, no bully can threaten or tariff it, the inputs are free forever. Canada, let’s get to work building true energy independence." - @avilewis, leader of Canada's NDP #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #climate #Environment #green #energy #GreenEnergy #elbowsup #yegbike #biketooter #urbanism
