• USA – Green Plan – Biden –” Accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination as presidential
candidate for the 2020 elections, vice-president Joe Biden described climate change among the
four historic crises, an existential threat, to overcome which America could lead the world and,
in the process, ‘create millions of good paying jobs’. Biden had earlier unveiled his climate and
environment plan that includes a proposal for federal spending of nearly $2 trillion over four
years, and leveraging additional private sector and State and local investments to total to more
than $5 trillion.” https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/et-editorials/global-impact-of-

“You know Canadian competitiveness is in big trouble when even investors in renewable energy –
favored by Canadian governments through subsidies, plus carbon taxes and regulatory overload on
competing fossil-fuel energy — are leaving because they like lower U.S. taxes even more.
Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra Energy Partners LP said Monday the sale of its wind and solar
generation assets in Ontario to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for US$582.3 million was
specifically motivated by U.S. tax reform.

Canadian clean technology companies are struggling to stay afloat and falling behind global peers
even as Ottawa promises to boost the sector and move the country toward a low carbon future, a
report released on Thursday showed.
Analytica Advisors said in its seventh annual report that despite years of publicly funded support for
research and development, losses for clean tech companies widened to $3.56 billion in 2015 from $3.18
billion in 2014, and shareholder returns limped in below the Canadian average. Figures for 2016 are
not yet available.
Those metrics have made it difficult to convince pension funds and other investors to put money into
the sector even as Ottawa has made a string of promises designed to boost the green economy.

You know Canadian competitiveness is in big trouble when even investors in renewable energy –
favored by Canadian governments through subsidies, plus carbon taxes and regulatory overload on
competing fossil-fuel energy — are leaving because they like lower U.S. taxes even more.
Juno Beach, Fla.-based NextEra Energy Partners LP said Monday the sale of its wind and solar
generation assets in Ontario to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for US$582.3 million was
specifically motivated by U.S. tax reform.
“We expect the sale of the Canadian portfolio to enable us to recycle capital back into U.S. assets,
which benefit from a longer federal income tax shield and a lower effective corporate tax rate,
allowing NextEra Energy Partners to retain more … in the future for every $1 invested,” Jim Robo,
chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

Competitiveness

GENEVA—For years, there have been lots of electric cars proudly rolled out at auto shows but few
on the streets or at dealers. That could be about to change.
The electric cars under the lights at the Geneva International Motor Show promise to be the
leading edge of more affordable, longer-range vehicles that start to move battery cars out of their
niche—as a product for environmentalists willing to put up with limited range and wealthy
enthusiasts of new technology willing to pay for buzz and the robust but silent acceleration the
cars offer.
Several broad underlying trends are converging to increase the likelihood that larger numbers of
battery cars will be on the roads in the next several years.
Prices are falling for batteries, consumers are turning away from diesel engines after Volkswagen’s
emissions scandal, and governments in Europe and China are enforcing tougher emissions rules.
As more electric cars roll off assembly lines, the trick will be getting more people to buy them. A
key factor will be price—of the battery to the manufacturer, and consequently of the car to the
customer.
Volvo Car Group’s Polestar 2 and Peugeot’s new electric 208 compact are electric offerings
aimed at bringing battery-powered cars within reach of more people. The Polestar 2 launch
version, expected in 2020, starts at US$55,500 after the $7,500 U.S. tax incentive; the Europe price
starts at 59,000 euros. A less expensive model is envisioned after the first year. Polestar says the
model is aimed at the same potential customers as the Model 3 electric compact from California
carmaker Tesla.
Tesla said last week it will close its stores and move to online sales only so it can cut costs and
reach its goal of selling the Model 3 for $35,000. Before the announcement the lowest price was
$42,900.
Electrical subsidies cost
the USA treasury about
1.5B per year.

VANCOUVER—Vancouver’s Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp. announced
Oct. 2 it has signed a manufacturing agreement with Zongshen Industrial
Group Co., Ltd.—a motorcycle manufacturer based in Chongqing, China—to
produce 75,000 of its SOLO electric vehicles over the next three years.
This uniquely shaped single-seater car is powered by a 16.1 kilowatt hour
lithium-ion battery, has a range of 160 km and a top speed of 130 km/h.
The manufacturing agreement with Zongshen calls for the production of
5,000 SOLOs in 2018; 20,000 in 2019; and 50,000 in 2020.
The company started taking orders for the SOLO in 2016, and Electra
Meccanica says it has so far amassed orders for over 20,000 units.
“We are thrilled that Zongshen has joined us in leading the clean energy
charge and partnered with us in the production of our innovative, new SOLO,”
said Jerry Kroll, CEO, Electra Meccanica. “We have thousands of orders on
the books and we now have the manufacturing capacity to begin filling these
orders for our customers.”
The SOLO’s anticipated manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) comes
in at a modest $19,888, and the company is currently taking refundable $250
reservations on its website. New deliveries are currently scheduled to be
fulfilled in Q4 2018.

All told, the study concluded, nearly 300,000 Canadians were
directly employed in clean energy in 2017, nearly 100,000
more than Statistics Canada data said worked in mining,
quarrying, and oil-and-gas extraction. There are 7.5 times as
many people working in clean energy as in forestry and
logging.
1. Employment is not broken down by clean sector
2. Clean Tech jobs tend to be installers -
https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/philip-cross-statcan-
just-exposed-how-worthless-green-industries-are-to-canadas-
economy “Environmental and clean-technology industries
accounted for a puny 3.1 per cent of Canada’s GDP in 2017. More
importantly, StatsCan noted that this ratio has remained
relatively stable since 2007 when the data began. The green
economy’s share of GDP stagnated for 10 of the biggest years for
pro-green policies and hefty government support, and against
historically slow growth in the rest of the economy. If the green
economy cannot flourish in these circumstances, it is doubtful it
ever will.”
3. The two largest components of environmental and clean
technology GDP are clean electricity (41.2%) and waste
management services (12.0%). The remaining services, when
grouped together, accounted for 38.4%, while manufactured
products were responsible for 7.5%, and other energy and
primary products contributed 0.9% of total environmental and
clean technology GDP. These ratios are similar to those in 2016.

– Ontario tried something similar and it led to exodus of jobs https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/philip-cross-statcan-just-exposed-how-

• The New Democrats are also looking to change the tax system to ensure that “the wealthiest pay their fair share.” This means closing tax
loopholes, tackling tax evasion, and tweaking the system to ensure more money is made from the capital gains tax.
– How is that going to work? Are they going to close down havens? Add more people to help investigate tax havens?
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-taxation-reforming-the-ita-and-shutting-down-tax-havens
• The plan also aims to ban all single-use plastics across Canada by 2022, as well as creating an Environmental Bill of Rights to “ensure that all
communities can enjoy a guarantee to clean water, land and air.”
– This is not feasible
– How about address the recycling issues
• https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/09/world/miranda-wang-tomorrows-hero/index.html
• Meanwhile, the party aims to ensure the Canadian electrical grid and all new buildings will be emission-free by 2030. It would pursue energy-
efficient retrofits in all buildings across Canada by 2050, creating a $3-billion “Canadian Climate Bank” to lift low-carbon developments.
– Climate Bank?
• Clean Technology needs to be viable with government subsidies
– https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-clean-technology-canada-may-2019
• To further incentivize Canadians to purchase greener vehicles, the New Democrats would give rebates of at least $5,000 and waive all federal
sales tax when people purchase zero-emission vehicles. This follows in the footsteps of the Liberals plan, which they already implemented this
year. The NDP also aims to build charging stations in federal buildings and Canada Post locations, while offering residents up to $600 to install a
plug-in charger in their own home.
– These rebates do not work. They will not encourage people to move to emission free car. There is also no such thing as emission free car -

43. Quebec / Green Fund
Source - https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/quebec-green-fund-money-used-for-pet-
projects-new-minister-charges-1.4526775
Quebec's green fund was created in 2006 as a way of collecting
billions in revenues -- in large part from the province's version
of a carbon tax -- and redistributing the money towards
initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
But the so-called green fund has been widely criticized as a
boondoggle.
Quebec's new environment minister, Benoit Charette, is
promising reform, but he has a colossal task ahead of him. The
province's past mistakes highlight the difficulties of managing a
multibillion-dollar fund to which various government
departments have access.
Instead of promoting projects with strict greenhouse gas
emission targets, the fund became a buffet for the pet projects of
various ministers, Charette said.
"Unfortunately, yes," Charette said in an interview when asked
whether the fund was being misused. "Certain departments
helped themselves to the fund, so to speak, without a guarantee
of results on investments. And the previous government let this
phenomenon go on like that, which made things even more
deplorable."

46. Blog #1 – Climate Change
I like all leaders including @ElizabethMay and @JustinTrudeau to be more truthful about their environmental policies including
listening to all angles! You could add additional 15 cent to toilet paper costs! (I am just kidding, because you are a liberal so new
taxes are your forte!)
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-climate-change-and-the-environment-august-2019
@AndrewScheer approach does not go far enough to address all issues facing the environment!
@cathmckenna are you going to introduce a poop tax as part of fixing the waterway issues? You could add additional 15 cents
to toilet paper costs! (I am just kidding, because you are a liberal so new taxes are your forte!)

58. Top Clean Tech Startups for 2020
1. Fuergy Slovak startup Fuergy plans to turn household renewable energy-sharing into a reality. One of the latest is a
Slovakian startup that is now fashioning itself as the Airbnb of clean energy, with a mission to turn household renewable
energy sharing into a reality. Using the Fuergy platform, home users who generate surplus solar or wind power can sell it
directly to other members in their community instead of the usual model of feeding it to the grid.
2. #2 Facedrive - Canadian Facedrive is like Uber, only better--because it’s green. Facedrive is the next-generation ride-
sharing company that gives the segment’s key customer base exactly what they want: A green alternative in the fossil-fuel
driven ride-sharing sector. Facedrive (TSX:FD.V) is the first ride-sharing company that contributes to planting a tree
while you ride, and lets you choose exactly what kind of ecological footprint you want to leave behind. The next-gen ride-
share company offers customers a choice for every ride, whether they want an EV, a hybrid, or a conventional car. And
even if they choose conventional, they’re still making a green choice because the CO2 is being offset for them.
3. Power Ledger - Power Ledger is based out of Australia and functions as a peer-to-peer energy-trading platform and the
first ever carbon credit project of its kind. Imagine, as a household, being able to monetize your renewable energy
investment while simultaneously providing your community with cheaper energy via the blockchain--all thanks to an
innovative peer-to-peer platform. The bigger this gets, the more likely it will be to disrupt the energy sector by helping to
make renewable energy more affordable and attractive.
