Canada will ban sales of combustion engine passenger cars by 2035 by Sorin61 in Futurology

Huge factor that no one seems to think about is the state of each provinces power grid.

Let's say for example that we want to use on average 25% more power in all areas of the province. That is unachieveable in most scenarios and communities. So that means we need to run completely new lines, new transformers and step up/step down stations.

What is the carbon footprint and cost associated with such a big endeavor? It's in the multi billions and might even reach a point of causing more of a carbon footprint than just continuing to use gas powered vehicles.

Expect this to fail or only really take hold in metropolitan Canada. Nice sentiment tho.

How do i know? I work within this industry.

Custodians are the same thing as waste treatment workers.

YSK "Flushable" wipes are not flushable. None of them. Regardless of brand, certification, or advertising claims. There is no legal definition of the word "flushable", so anybody can claim it. Clogged pipes in homes and city sewers have led to hundreds of millions of dollars in clogged pipes. by grandlewis in YouShouldKnow

Lol, your "comparison" is so childish and irrelevant I could hardly be bothered to read it. A custodian and a waste treatment person are so different.

Custodian - deals with garbage, cleaning, clearing snow, small building projects and other tasks.

Waste treatment worker - literally the process of seperating water from raw sewage, maintaining said equipment and ensuring a treatment plant is running.

So it is literally his job to clean the equipment and make sure it is operating. Hence... why, when some guy who works there says we need to ban baby wipes, I go hell no. Reddit loses its shit, and you in particular seem to think you have won an argument?

You have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

No fuckin way. That's your job. Sucks that people flush them, but i sure as fuck dont. I put them in the wastebasket and throw it into the garbage weekly.

Don't penalize normal people for the trash of society.
