I would say the biggest impact we can have is recycling, tech development, and selling “cleaner” fuels to the worst offender’s and the Irving’s. You sure don’t increase the cost of living for those that have no reasonable alternatives to heat their homes, commute, etc.
I was curious about how heat pumps worked (pretty much what I expected) and one of the videos was by a person in BC. Good explanation, but he ended with “for those on hydro grids, you can actually save some money, for those that aren’t, it’s just the right thing to do.” Yeah right, spend thousands to add a heat pump that will increase an already brutal electric bill by another $100+ a month, only to save a bit on my natural gas bill, just so Trudeau, or whoever, can say “But look, Canada did it!”? Fk that. There needs to be a result.
If Hydro powered provinces are so into carbon reduction, I guess they can spend more as well, and subsidize those who have no choice, and we can all share the “feel good” pain together.
If Canada was an enclosed climate and my paying for a heat pump, and higher utility bill will mean a smoke free summer, bring it on.
