Germany warns Canada that Europe's appetite for natural gas is set to shrink - Berlin’s climate envoy says Germany wants green energy from Canada — particularly hydrogen in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The BC Hydrogen Office website talks about both electrolysis and removing hydrogen from natural gas then storing the left over bits underground.

B.C. has several advantages for producing low-carbon hydrogen. More than 98% of electricity generated in the province is clean or renewable. This means B.C. has a significant opportunity to produce clean hydrogen from electrolysis.

B.C. is also home to abundant natural gas reserves and significant geological carbon storage capacity. These are necessary for producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas. With these attributes, B.C. can supply the growing global demand for low-carbon hydrogen.

"That was the methodology of the 1960s and 1970s. It was cheaper, quicker and easier just to put a river in a pipe in the ground and pave it and say, 'we'll deal with it later,'" Cosh said. "Now, it's later."

Not the investors. The share price is up again and that's all that counts.

B.C.'s short-term rental rules cause drop in listings: study - Change most notable in northern B.C. and Vancouver Island, study commissioned by B.C. Hotel Association finds (www.cbc.ca)
 

"We've seen very directly thousands of formerly full-time short-term rentals leave the short-term rental market," Wachsmuth said in an interview with CBC's The Early Edition on Wednesday.

But it's still unclear what happens to these units after they are removed from the STR listings.

Wachsmuth said researchers and policymakers will have to wait for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to release its annual data in order to see the rules' exact impact on vacancy rates and the number of long-term rentals.

"For too long, the idea of home ownership has been out of reach for way too many people — people who earn a decent income, who are priced out of the market and do not see any path to home ownership," said Premier David Eby, speaking at the project unveiling on Thursday.

BC Hopes a New Design Catalogue Will Boost ‘Gentle Density’ in c/britishcolumbia@lemmy.ca

On CKNW in May, Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad said the province was “taking away the democratic right and the democratic vote” and that he would repeal the NDP’s housing reforms if elected.

BC is going to look very, very different in five years depending on who wins the next election.

Don't be surprised by the B.C. NDP consumer carbon tax step back - In 2008, NDP used ‘Axe the Tax’ slogan to oppose [BC] Liberals 1st-in-Canada broad-based carbon tax (www.cbc.ca)
 

cross-posted from: /c/britishcolumbia

In 2008, as the-then B.C. Liberal government was poised to bring in Canada's first carbon tax, the B.C. NDP staunchly opposed it, saying a climate plan should not tax consumers but target major industrial producers such as the gas, oil, cement and aluminum industries.

The four-month timeline the government put in place with the new changes to the rental tenancy act made it so people buying properties with tenants couldn't get a mortgage approved, because the timeline extended beyond the 120-day approval limit.

Sounds like it was bumping into CMHC regulations.
