Or, killing renewable projects everywhere might be a better return for BP. Discounting science regarding pollution of burnt or unburnt oil products. That is a good return. For BP. ---

You know, that makes total sense, especially in Texas, but I think it’s easier to get construction approvals these days when you say your plan is to burn fossil fuels. ---

This is not good. The UK and Europe already can’t handle the heat waves. Public services were simply not designed with these temperatures in mind. ![FB_IMG_1786799298633](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/0/108f410a8f9ea41d886e81371127633def98a5bc.jpeg) ---

The former premier of NL Roger Grimes was speaking in an interview today. He noted yesterday’s announcement was the 4th announcement he’s been to for various versions of this project, including back when he was premier. Something that’s not been discussed much is how the Innu play into this agreement. The proposed dam is in their land claims area and it doesn’t sound like there’s been a lot of consultation on this. Where NL is looking to get multiple billions in revenue a year from this project, I’m guessing they would like a substantial cut, but I’m not sure the province is onboard with that. They haven’t had to deal.with land claims like other provinces have as they exterminated the Beothuk in the 1800s and have been able to largely ignore the Innu. They also ignore the Qualipu. The province’s claim is that both groups arrived in NL after European settlers arrived. This may be in the courts for a long time. ---

Sounds like a mess. Like even if the province wins, they’ll lose in a way by leaving indigenous folks holding the bag. ---
