Europe’s politicians have already earmarked about 280 billion euros to ease the pain of surging prices for businesses and consumers, but the aid risks being dwarfed by the scale of the crisis. The European Union will call an emergency meeting of energy ministers to discuss bloc-wide solutions.Article content

World needs less Elons 💩

Elon make us a facebook so we can dump the wef controlled speech facebook. We are tired of monitoring

Of course it does! You wouldn’t have an electric car without

People have realize we are burning off an incredibly valuable resource which we will need in the future. If we do not develop the technologies to provide robust carbon manufacturing we are doomrf

RetwaA Trudeau says no business case, but he doesn’t follow monetary policy and the budget will balance itself. Oh, and 100 million for LGBT flags and such . The LGB are silent letters.

Only hypocritical Liberals thinks now is time to illuminate the oil and gas industry. What did Freeland said about rising gasoline prices? Yes, it’s a ‘reminder’ to move ‘faster towards green economy’. Elon Musk gets it. Why can’t our Minister of Finance?🤦🏼‍♀️ EnoughlsEnough

Anything else from the genius today?

It's True guys we are no where near ready to eliminate fossil fuels

he also thinks that people trying to rescue children trapped in a cave are pedos I think we can do without his advice.

this is coming from the guy who only profits from the electric when it comes to cars. he is brilliant. i wish he was our pm. his mother is canadian. therefore he is canadian too. he could run if he wanted to. he would be amazing! but i will be happy with Pete P. too.

I am shocked that there aren't people making up these government making up the carbon agenda that don't understand what Musk is saying. It is so obvious but no one seems to grasp it. thank you Elon Musk.

JMarkgeorge He also thought 'X Æ A-12' was a good name for a child. So...

The Greenhouse Effect hypothesis is not refuted. The sane course of direction is to burn as little hydrocarbon as possible. It is the 'as possible' that is the difficult part.

Anyone who understands the energy markets, and reality, understands this is stating the obvious. Oil & gas have always been apart of the solution not the evil problem it’s made out to be.

Indignationpunk Also, water is wet

As if you want me to believe one of the world's most brilliant people over cathmckenna. Ridiculous!

Ahh. Elon the seer. And I quote: Predicting on March 19, 2020, that the U.S. was going to have “close to zero new Covid cases” by the end of April

Elon is FULL of Sh🇨🇦t. An inquiry should be made into: 'Unacknowledged Special Access Projects' aka USAPs DrStevenGreer

Everyone should know that.

Wait, are you telling me he finally said something valid?

What’s wrong with his face in that picture? Couldn’t someone pick a better one?

Is he going to stop making electric vehicles? ElonMusk TaxTheRich

the ONLY way to fix this mess in the short term, is to come to some sort of detente with Russia. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Heels are firmly dug in on all sides. EU govts will collapse this winter and fresh eyes will be on the problem.

they are trying to intentionally kill people with the insane energy policies

Well this is obvious. We need to keep rolling until we're ready to fully transition.

No. We have plenty of that already

Given how weak the National Post is, I don't think mindlessly reprinting Bloomberg stories is in your best interest....part of this is one big d'uh and the other is Elon being a day late and a dollar short to the discussion

Elon Musk talks a lot of shit.

Because when the big automakers go full EV, Tesla will be squeezed into a footnote of history.

As a general rule, anything after the words, 'Elon Musk says', can be ignored.

The same guy who can't keep his dick in his pants?

Elon is backwards because natural gas is a bridge from oil & gas to renewables and for over 100 years.

billd2025 Elon Musk, who makes and sells EVs, knows fossil fuels are needed. Common sense is still alive and well.

This is obvious to anyone with a realistic understanding of energy.

World's largest investment firms are divesting from oil & gas, so very few new oil & gas fields are being explored and developed. As existing fields are being exhausted, world's economy will be shocked with huge fuel spikes. Transport will become too expensive for most.

And there is Keystone XL, pipe on the ground just waiting to be completed.

Yes

Obviously it has to become more expensive for Musk for him to change his tune.

Brilliance often comes in common sense....

Let's face it EV's could not be produced without petroleum. Reducing the production of oil will only make the manufacturing of EV's more expensive and perhaps stop their production.

Finally, a rational suggestion!

Agree completely. That green new deal is a crock. Conservationism is the way to go. What they have in mind is very destructive to the environ ment

Tell this to our glorious leader !who wants our allies in Europe to freeze this winter !

Let’s get even more droughts and flooding.

Renewables can be added to the energy mix but will never and should never, replace oil & gas.

The world needs an energy market freed of all government control, restriction, subsidy or direction. Then we can discover the right mix of energy sources — renewables, fossil fuels, nuclear, etc. — for a maximally clean and prosperous future.

That’s coming from one of the smartest people in the world. We should pay attention instead of living in fantasy.

We need a proper balance between fuels, electricity, and other power sources for the future.

That is the physical reality truth, can't even deploy or maintain them without the fossil fuels they entirely depend upon including backing up the power sources with natural gas & synchronous condensers. This is why big oil is big on renewables, ensuring both future existence.

For once sadly I agree w him as a short term bridge for nations too far behind the curve

We need more Nuclear plants in Canada. If fossil fuels are going to be taxed heavily then Canadians need cheap electricity as an alternative
