A very eggacting post, with lots of great eggamples. A comment about power generation: The CCGT in Edson, Alberta is being touted as a wonderful effort to reduce CO2 emissions (62% less than coal), but it is still a net producer of CO2. We aren’t solving the climate crisis by switching to natural gas. To its credit, however, Alberta will have completely phased out coal powered electrical generation by the end of this year (2023)
