P.S. A day well spent: The test drive of the BYD electric crossover was overwhelmingly positive...Agile and fun, BYD ATTO 3 provides an engaging driving experience.  It's clear that you don't need a Tesla to get a great electric car...

BYD's LFP electric cars can definitely improve Europe's energy security and independence from fossil fuel imports

Women trying to make the country more energy independent

News provided by Canada Powered by Women 

Apr 08, 2025

89 per cent of engaged women support reducing reliance on U.S. trade, amidst tariff war.  85 per cent want to see increased pipeline and refining capacity within Canada. 73 per cent support a vision of Canada as a self-reliant, economically strong nation powered by increased oil and gas production and exports.

CALGARY, AB, April 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Canada Powered by Women released new research showing overwhelming support from engaged women for prioritizing Canada's energy and economic independence to strengthen national security and prosperity. The latest survey, conducted by Leger, shows a significant year-over-year increase in support of these priorities among engaged women across all provinces, and comes as the national conversation about Canada's ability to withstand tariffs and an uncertain relationship with the U.S. continues to dominate discussion across the country.

Tracey Bodnarchuk, CEO, Canada Powered by Women (CNW Group/Canada Powered by Women)

The survey representing the views of 6.7 million Canadians identified as engaged women, shows 89 per cent support reducing reliance on U.S. trade, while 85 per cent support building pipelines and refining capacity within Canada. Further, after learning about existing pipeline limitations (i.e. no east to west pipeline connecting Western and Eastern Canada, forcing Canadian oil to go through the U.S. for refining before returning to Canada), 90 per cent of engaged women support strengthening energy independence.

"Engaged women are proud of Canada's energy sector and believe we urgently need to responsibly develop and export our resources," says Tracey Bodnarchuk, CEO of Canada Powered by Women. "Our secure energy future depends on expanding pipeline infrastructure, developing and refining our own resources here at home and diversifying our global trade partners through new export capacity. These are fundamental to grow Canada's economy in the face of tariffs and trade uncertainty, now and in the future.  Both energy and economic independence are clearly mandates from engaged women for Canadian policy makers that shouldn't be ignored."

The research also shows engaged women want to see Canada build infrastructure to reach new markets, creating jobs and driving economic growth, with almost three quarters (73 per cent) supporting the expansion of oil and gas production for export. Meanwhile, 81 per cent agree that expanding Canada's energy sector will position Canada as a global energy leader.

"Sound energy policy that responds to these priorities enables a national energy corridor for expedited pipeline approvals, a more reliable regulatory system that brings fixed timelines, and certainty for private investment to help Canada accelerate growth in oil and liquified natural gas production and exports." says Bodnarchuk.

"The benefits of prioritizing home-grown energy expand well beyond energy independence – it creates a ripple effect with jobs and revenue to help us thrive and raise our families while also funding health care, education and other social elements that truly define Canadian prosperity. The benefits are for all Canadians, provided by Canadians," says Sue Riddell Rose, Board Chair of Canada Powered by Women.

"It is clear - the informed voices of women in this important policy conversation are calling for investment, independence and leadership" said Jennifer McLeod Macey, Senior Vice President at Leger. "This is evident through the group of engaged women rapidly growing, currently representing 6.7 million women across the country – up from 5.6 million in 2024 and 3.8 million in 2023."

"The trend is undeniable and indicates the growing importance and influence of this group. The results of this latest research show these women are passionate about advocating for a new path that focuses on building, connecting, and generating energy in Canada."

About the Survey The survey data is from a study conducted by Leger using the LEO panel, from February 27-March 10, 2025, among 1,084 Women in Canada. The women who qualified identified as someone who reads/listens to the news, is informed on politics, believe to be somewhat left/in the middle/on the right, and is neutral or in agreement with the many statements related to having an interest in: influencing government, learning about the future, learning more about topics that could impact Canadians future wealth and prosperity, understanding what I can do to support important issues facing Canadians, and having a voice about the future of oil and gas and energy. 

About Canada Powered by Women In 2019, a group of women with backgrounds in various sectors, including energy, founded Canada Powered by Women to put the spotlight on an important gap: women's voices in the energy transformation conversation and the balance of energy security, the environment and the economy. The organization aims to understand what women across the country are thinking and feeling. CPW creates opportunities to bring women together to find common ground on energy transformation and is a vehicle for the voices of many women across Canada to be amplified in a manner that is unignorable and has real impact. 

Canada Powered by Women facilitates discussions amongst women across the country, creating a trusted place to talk about complex issues that matter, a place to listen and a place to raise awareness and create positive change for all Canadians.

Could Joe Biden STOP draining our strategic fuel reserves in an attempt to cover up the damage his moronic green energy policies have done to consumers and our economy? President Idiot has already drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve down to the dregs. Now he’s emptying our emergency gasoline supplies. Your re-election is not more important than our national security! In the event of a war that interrupts our oil purchases (which we now need because he has knee-capped our domestic drilling) we’re going to be in a world of hurt.

Researchers at MIT discover Clean, Abundant, Renewable and Low-Cost ... Infinite Energy. Could this be the 'Golden Ticket' Solution to Our Massive Energy Needs Future?

Clean electricity generation offers so many opportunities that it would be impossible to name them all. From doing it at the bottom of the sea (as in New York) to on the roofs of buildings (as in California), we have found numerous options. One of them, however, has just attracted the interest of the entire international community. White speckled rocks with trapped, 100% renewable, clean hydrogen…

What He Said

“We’re producing more energy than ever before in this nation. We have the strongest economy in the world, and we are beating China for the first time in decades. More people went to work this morning in America than at any other time in our nation’s history. So I’ve got a message to Donald Trump and all his negativity and his whining: Stop sh*t talking America. This is the greatest country on earth, and it’s time that we all start acting like it.”

– PA Governor Josh Shapiro

We've never had a time when we've exported more crude oil than we've imported, but there are times that we've exported more petroleum products than we've imported. Petroleum products includes crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuels, jet fuel, plastics, and much more. Anything that can be made from what comes out of oil wells.

That negative net imports era began in 2020 under Trump, and he touted it as 'energy independence.' Exporting more plastics than we import doesn't really relate to energy independence, though. Real energy independence starts with exporting more crude oil than we import.

But the net exports of petroleum products that Trump celebrated as an accomplishment are greater now than they ever were then.

Life . Where I am right now and where I wanna be are two different places . Right now am struggling with finishing my diploma , just one more semester and am done .

But the question is I don’t want to go ahead with my degree but at the same time I’m that girl with big dreams , that girl that always wanted expensive stuff and I really don’t want anyone to sponsor me bcoz in the end they will get tired of you.

Nothing sweeter than having your own money, I mean that which you worked for and spending on yourself. Yes it’s good when someone buys you something but that can’t be me . I always have this feeling that when are they gonna use against me coz it happened to me in the past Soo I don’t want it repeated.

I rather be broke than someone buy me something out of mercy , that shiit really haunts bad. I know there are people who are genuine & love doing good for others but as for me It’s the opposite, would do anything for anyone,that I am sure I will definitely forget unless I get reminded . Which I don’t really like to be reminded ofcoz , it’s not that am being rude but I get shy and overwhelmed.

Soo am really praying that I never get to depend on anyone , that May Allah use me as means to support his creatures, that I never forget how it feels to have nothing, that I really get rich and not forget my religion and where I came from,that I become a blessing to my family, community and the whole of the ummah.

May I never have bad intentions,may I always attract good people and good things for I know how it feels to be surrounded by bad intentions. May I become independent and humble enough.

May we all get what we cherish ya Rabb 🤲, Ameen ya Rabb 💞

The Baltic States have now joined the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, serving over 400 million customers. All electricity interconnections with Russia and Belarus have been permanently disconnected following years of meticulous preparation and collaboration among the Baltic States transmission system operators (TSOs): Elering (Estonia), Augstsprieguma tīkls (AST, Latvia), Litgrid (Lithuania), and their counterparts in Continental Europe Synchronous Area, with a particularly important role taken by PSE in Poland which is the system which physically now connects the Baltic States’ systems to Continental Europe.

Prime Minister of Latvia Evika Siliņa said:

"This is a very significant day for Latvia's energy security and independence. Together with Estonia and Lithuania, we have successfully joined the European energy grid. This is a historic moment – we have irreversibly disconnected from the energy systems of Russia and Belarus."

Marylanders Could Face Blackouts This Summer — Thank the Green Agenda and Grid Mismanagement

Marylanders might want to invest in candles and battery packs this summer. PJM Interconnection—the regional power grid operator serving 65 million people across the Mid-Atlantic—has issued a stark warning: rolling blackouts are possible during periods of peak demand. While mainstream outlets chalk it up to heatwaves and demand surges, the truth runs deeper—and more political. This isn’t about…

A well written (and profoundly depressing) overview of the unmitigated disasters caused by the Biden administration’s insane energy policies. We have all paid the price for this “Green New Steal” stupidity that has weakened America and empowered our foes.
