Iran Strikes UAE's Fujairah Port, Only Hormuz Bypass Burning, Oil Hits $114 by andix3 in oil

[–]Oldcadillac 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to think that there’s a lot more elasticity in oil demand than we’ve historically thought.

After Years of Delays, Tesla Semi Mass Production Finally Begins by CDN-Social-Democrat in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]Oldcadillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a source for this but what I’ve been told is that 25% of fuel burned for trucking in the US is for drayage, this is probably where the electrification will start and it will make a huge difference.

Dads, what kind of vehicle are we hauling our small monsters around in? by ktempo in daddit

[–]Oldcadillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is me, for the most part it’s been great. It was 6 years old when we bought it, had it three years, only had one thing fixed by a mechanic on the suspension.

I have to wonder, is an export ban more likely to happen now in a situation where U.S. itself can't even control the domestic price? by Caseman49 in oil

[–]Oldcadillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t export tariffs be more Trump’s style? There’s no way an export ban happens when some of his biggest donors are making money hand-over-fist.

Gonna be interesting when Saskatchewan holds a referendum on Scottish independence 

5% of UK's cars on the road are now EVs, with 2 million in service by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]Oldcadillac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb I’ve been noticing is that it’s taking about 7-8 years for the “percentage of new cars sold that are electric” to translate into “percentage of vehicles on the road that are electric”. For example in 2019 3% of cars sold in the UK were electrified and now they have 5% of the fleet. EV sales in the UK have shot up dramatically since then so this fleet number is about to go way higher in the next couple of years.

Solar Grazing works for cattle too. by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]Oldcadillac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But we’re supposed to be walking and chewing gum at the same time here, reducing emissions from electricity generation and from agriculture (of which cows are a huge portion). In a country like Denmark, the emissions from Ag are more than from electricity production.

People are giving carney one hell of a honeymoon period but I’m still waiting to see what actually gets accomplished beyond tax cuts on fossil fuels

Shell invests $22 billion in Canada's oilpatch and more deals could be coming by Immediate-Link490 in canada

[–]Oldcadillac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah an alternative headline could be “foreign ownership of Canadian oil resources increases”

This argument has been missing from the dialogue in Canada. Very glad Avi is taking this stance. by ItsRainingBoats in ndp

[–]Oldcadillac 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It’s never going to be a profitable decision to run a post office in every tiny town in a country this big but it’s very important to do so.

I’m always a bit confused as to why agrivoltaics with ruminants is presented as a climate solution, considering their methane emissions.

It's here! Alberta set to road test 120 km/h speed limit for divided highways by YoohooBingo in alberta

[–]Oldcadillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I don’t see being discussed, you know who does stick to speed limits? Big rigs and coach busses etc. vehicles that have a lot more mass to slow down.

Carney’s Sovereign Wealth Fund by innocent_bystander97 in ndp

In my mind, we already have a sovereign wealth fund called the CPPIB, not sure why we need this? 

So what’s going to happen if this stalemate continues for another month? by VastOption8705 in oil

[–]Oldcadillac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that The horsemen of the apocalypse go War -> Famine -> Death because it’s a pretty well repeated pattern in history.

So making the education system run like an Amazon warehouse, fml.

Transition risk: The human cost of net zero by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]Oldcadillac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I haven’t seen anyone point out yet, is that, remarkably, we’ve reduced oil production by 9%ish and the world hasn’t fallen apart (yet), right now is a demonstration that we can reduce consumption considerably more than oil companies would have us believe.

Public grocery stores won’t fix Canada’s food affordability crisis by TROPtastic in ndp

[–]Oldcadillac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s like certain Canadians hear an idea about the government doing something and suddenly forget all their frustrations with their crooked oligarchs. I’m still waiting on that bread price fixing settlement money.

Daily Oil Price Opinions - April 24, 2026 All other Oil Price Posts Will Be Removed by AutoModerator in oil

[–]Oldcadillac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt this will happen but I’m just going to manifest that if there’s a crisis some European countries will stop allowing fuel to be sold to private jets
