New editorial in the Times and Transcript

The Moncton Times and Transcript was good enough to stroke my ego by running an editorial I wrote on Danish energy planning and its relevance to Canada the other day.

(Although it's about energy planning, the headline refers to "emergency planning." The overzealous MS-Word autocorrect strikes again, apparently.)

  1. perhaps autocorrect has a black sense of humour, since energy planning and emergency planning are relentlessly moving to an overlap position.

  2. nice editorial, Tim. The fact that they stuck to the plan after oil prices came back down is mind blowing, compared to most places that live in an eternal hazy present. You ought poke around and see if you can get this sort of thing in print in Ottawa in a daily or one of the community papers.

  3. Oil prices are driven mostly by commodities brokers, since they relaxed the rules.

    The same thing's happened to wheat prices. Goldman Sachs made a killing, literally in the case of wheat, by speculating and driving up prices.

  4. Which rules, and where? Oil is a global commodity. Did the entire world simultaneously change the rules to facilitate speculation in oil?

  5. Tim, you have a troll! let's tease it with Kennedy assassination conspiracies.

    and i'm glad to know it wasn't floods in Pakistan and corn for cars that is driving up food prices. I was getting scared, but it's only those darn brokers.
