Hey All, thought you might find this humourous:

I took 1000lbs of anthracite over 250km (~160 miles) from the depot that sells it to home. No closer location, unfortunately, so we made a day of it. A Tesla hauls coal pretty well - we could have fit a lot more bags in the car actually, but we bought all of the nut size they had!

I'm pretty sure you made Greta and Baby Polar Bears cry

In Ontario we have 90% zero emission energy, with the bulk of the dirty energy production happening in rural areas - so the "fuel" is pretty clean around home. That doesn't count when you're traveling, though!

Hah! Thing is, this is far "greener" that loading up my wood stove for the winter in terms of emissions as well as allowing those good hardwood maples to stay alive and keep sequestering carbon.

I'm guessing that is mostly hydro. Great stuff where you have it

When I first went fishing in Ontario they called it hydro. We had no clue what the hell they were talking about. We had to ask.

Yeah, it is easier when there are only 5 people per sq mile....

Yeah The AOC crowd thinks they are going to power aluminum smelting, and EAF steelmaking with a couple of solar cells, a handful of pinwheels, and a microhydro on a babbling brook

Not quite. Ontario has the largest nuclear reactors in the world. Bruce and Pickering are the ones of biggest fame, with Pickering scheduled to be decommissioned in 2025. Hydro-electric generation is big, don't get me wrong, but everything else is in the shadow if Ontario's nuclear efforts.

I said zero emission, not zero waste.

The US was big on nuclear before we became against it.

both units at limerick are chooching away. they did shut down the coal fired plant near reading (titus station) it was old tho.......they built a 485 mw natural gas fired power plant in birdsboro where the armorcast building used to be.
