PALE BLUE DOT

Since before the industrial revolution began (~1760), the needs of the few ultrawealthy capitalists and their profits have been prioritized over the need to protect our planet. In our revolutionary ancestors' defense, they didn't foresee the extinction-level impact that burning fossil fuels would have on our planet, frankly, nor would many of them have likely cared even if they had known.

​

It's all the more depressing that more than 260 years later, despite the overwhelming modern science, many people still seem not to care or even believe.

​

To ensure our grandchildren aren't forced to live on a hostile planet, we will:

• phase out fossil fuel exploration and pipeline development entirely

• invest heavily in the cleantech and renewable energy sectors, including nuclear (fission and fusion)

• research and construct new nuclear capabilities, where it is safe and practical to do so

• nationalize power and guarantee every Canadian sufficient power for their personal needs

• require large parking lots and other logical facilities to install solar panels to contribute to the public electric grid and reduce costs for individuals and families

• require the development of government lands with high energy potential to install wind turbines to contribute to the public electric grid and reduce costs for individuals and families

• increase the carbon tax by $25 per tonne each year for 8 years

• invest in future climate technologies (e.g., terraforming, mesoscale and synoptic scale weather modification)
