No argument on the general statement.

It was clearer in gasoline prices, but when prices jump 5 to 10 percent in a single day, the day a tax is put into place, it's not all inflation.

The current energy policies are certainly eroding the standard of living. If it's literally pushing people into poverty depends very much on just how far out of poverty you were to start with.

I didn't have the time to watch the whole thing. It looked plausible.
Alberta is above Montana (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta) and isn't part of the area discussed in the beginning of the video.
It has a population of almost 5 million, most of whom live between the 49th and 54th parallel. Around half live outside major cities, so public transportation isn't an option.
As to the other comment that renewables are cheaper, they may be to produce, but they are marketed as a "feel good luxury" item. Wind power is useful year round. I don't know how well solar works in the winter when days get so short and the sun gets lower in the sky.

There is very little love lost, politically, between Alberta and the area discussed in the early part of the video. If you noted the percentages, you can probably predict what area federal politicians pay the most attention to. That area uses a lot of hydroelectric generation, so when a crushing carbon tax was applied, that area was much less affected.

I'm sure the federal government is pointing to this and saying, see, out tax worked.

I live in Alberta.
It will be interesting to see what this does to my electricity bill that has already gone up so much in the last few years. I wish I could believe it will go down.
It's also interesting that this is the first place I have heard of this.

Justin Trudeau is a highschool drama teacher.
Is there any reason to be surprised when bad theater on any subject comes from the government?

(I apologize if I am being unfair to highschool drama. I know that in many cases the students work very hard to put on a production.)

I believe the biggest danger we face with the current so called AI is that we might trust it without question.
Start with something like "COMPUTERS DON'T ARGUE" by Gordon R Dickson, and then expand on it.

Using a hydrogen peroxide or related disinfectant might be effective for water that will be used right away, but, as mentioned by a number of people above, it doesn't last long.
If you want to store that clean water for very long, or want to pipe it anywhere through a pipe system that isn't perfect, you want to use a disinfectant that stays in the water.

One example:

Maybe it's possible to use hydrogen peroxide and related disinfectants safely if you are willing to spend extra on the infrastructure. But if that's required, doesn't that defeat the "cheaper for developing countries" claim?

How long until we see tweet from the White House "Michael Moore says oil is better for the environment than solar and wind"?

By your definition, this is just as much a gingerbread house as what you end up with from one of the kits that you buy in the store.

I acknowledge the sarcasm, but please be careful, the marketing department might be listening.
On a more serious note, couldn't you just put a ferrite core on your headphones?

I liked this analysis http://www.forbes.com/sites/ta...

Tl; dr: it might work for some STDs but it would make the condom quite a bit thicker, and take too long for the result. For others, it's just not going to happen. Then, assuming the magic work, there's lots of reasons it's a bad idea, mostly having to do with the fact that there are people involved.

I know a lot of EULAs specify where any lawsuits have to be filled. Does Facebook's?
Sorry, don't use Facebook, and probably wouldn't have read the EULA if I did.

Looks like it has been fixed. Or at least you have to login to see anything.

Where is the controversy? If someone says the earth is the center of the universe, either they are dumb, or very conceited and really mean they are the center of the universe, but don't want to offend the rest of us. Oh wait, I get it now...

I don't know about a rip in space time, but walmart's popcorn sales should go up.
