And I'll submit to you that if you believe that is true, then I would suggest that you direct your vitriol to the country that continues to build coal-fired power plants with impunity, setting a new record.

last year with 161 gigawatts of new coal-fired power plant capacity, and they have hundreds of new coal-fired plants being built, and that's China, of course.

And just to remind everybody that Canada's emissions peaked, even if you account for consumption, because there's different ways to calculate emissions, production, consumption, both of them peaked in 2007 and have been on a steady decline.

We would convert every single coal fire power plant in China to a natural gas and it would cut emissions by 50%.

This is how, by the way, the US did it.

I mean, the irony, of course, is that the deal with the new strategic partner has allocated car sales to an American company.

That's exactly what Brian, who is the gentleman we interviewed?

Kingston.

That's what basically he warned us about because Tesla had bought all the permits or something like that.

I can't remember exactly what he said.

Yeah, I've heard you say that before.

I think ultimately, listen, everyone knows that EVs will, in my view anyway, I think EVs will eventually be the car.

The issue we've always had on this show is A, forcing people to do it.

B, subsidizing rich people to buy those cars.

And C, you know, there are obviously security concerns because China is a totalitarian communist regime and they have every interest in screwing with the United States.

but people should just be allowed to choose what they want to do with the second largest purchase they make in their lives.

It's just insane that they, we were about to be mandated.

Remember a hundred percent of sales within 10 years of,

it's just like crazy.

And like, yeah, if you live, if you live in Red Deer, you know, maybe it's not the best for you, but if you're a commie and you live in Vancouver, then fine.
