The multifaceted consequences of man-made climate change are real,
they are growing in scope and scale,
they can be remediated if we really choose to do so,
and fixing planetary warming will actually cost less financially than living (and dying) with the current path.

That's the point of this website. One person making small efforts isn't enough.
Why not save yourself some money, and make the planet better for your future?

As time permits, I'm going to put the esoterica I encounter related to climate change here rather than trying to update the various pages. So this will be in reverse chronological rather than logically organized within the structure of the rest of this website. Please don't rely on this as a consistent and current source for climate change information updates. Sadly, we cannot rely on our corporate-controlled mass media for good information on this, and my time is limited.

2026.05.30 In memory of Barbara (Bobbi) Florio Graham: Keep writing, keep on making change.

2026.05.29 Relatively cheap compared to fossil sources at peak demand times it is intended to fill, leverages renewables, still scaling up on financials

2026.05.26 A win on the home front. (Literally, in our home.)

It's been one of our objectives for some time to get our house off fossil fuels, at least directly. A couple of weeks ago, we shut off the gas valve and closed our related vendor accounts (natural gas supply, hot water tank rental, furnace maintenance).

Unfortunately, the timing wasn't convenient or by our choice, but we took the plunge and made the changes.

First, our gas furnace - which had passed it's 2024 annual inspection with flying colours and was given a thumbs up by the central air tech and furnace tech that year, which is why we proceeded with the central air replacement. But, in late 2025, our furnace inspection resulted in a red tag (turned off by technician) as the season's first cold snap arrived.

Fortunately, we have a number of portable electric heaters and managed with those for a couple of weeks while we figured out the size of heat pump we wanted and found a contractor who made sense to us (two failed the phone 'interviews'). We met with a representative who could and did answer our questions (like, will it work if the Internet service goes out - looking at you Rogers - or if the vendor ends the internet-based 'smart' features support - looking at you Google Nest), and figured out a rebate we could qualify for without the expense of the usual pre- and post-install inspections.

We figured out finances (not the 3rd party the vendor offered), and made the deal. It took a couple of days for them to get all the major components together, then the removal of the old furnace and old central air conditioning pieces and connections, shutting off its gas supply, and setting up for the install (including planning the electrical) took a day.

The following day got the heavy lifting done on the outdoor unit, through wall connections and placement of the main indoor box. The 3rd day finished up the ducting and electrical, inspection and testing, and we were in service that night. It was a relief to put the portable heaters away. We spent a few days getting used to the new system; it was an adjustment after years with a gas furnace; much quieter (is it running?) with more gentle temperature adjustments; learning the new 'smart' thermostat system which utilized the scroll compressor capability for efficiency.

At this point, the monthly natural gas bill was becoming a sore point because we were paying more for the 'Customer Charge' (leaving the pipe in place) than in actual fuel consumed, and Enbridge's very self-serving estimates of usage in spite of our submitted meter readings. So we were already contemplating replacing the gas water heater with something electric this summer when it would be more convenient to not have hot water for a couple of days.

This spring, we had an inspection done on the rental gas water heater, and it failed. On a Friday afternoon. The technician turned off the gas and left. Within a day the tank was leaking from the bottom, not from either of the plumbing connections. Over the weekend we researched replacement options.

The hot water tank rental company said they could install a new tank and a power-vent (new rules aren't cool with the old atmospheric venting approach) on Wednesday (3 business days after the red tag), and the all up cost was substantial. And there could be a wrinkle on the power vent installation cost if a new circuit was required (it would be), at least a 20-amp 240-volt new line with a ganged circuit breaker which required 2 free adjacent breakers in the service panel, and as that wasn't currently the arrangement in the box, probably a pony panel. So, no reliable estimate, no timeline and the price was definitely in the range of $ouch+. (But there was a financing program with an interest rate higher than my lowest credit card rate, so that was out of the running.)

They could also install an all-electric tank, but they expected they would have to install a pony electrical panel and do some fancy wiring for that too, and with no guarantees gave a rough estimate which ended up being in the range of $4,000.

Between $ouch and $ouch+. About the same as buying a heat-pump hybrid hot water heater, and a minor rebate on that price would not make up for unknown time-line for a contractor getting a unit, installing it and doing the electrical. (Note: my dream had been a plug-in 120-volt hybrid heat pump water heater tank and do the work ourselves, based on prices I have seen in the U.S. for such units and reviews by happy customers and available there to DIY installers. But that option is not available in Canada, apparently because we live somewhere cold. Not like tropical Minnesota or North Dakota. Sigh.)

We did the math on our likely water needs (e.g. a dishwasher that runs once a day or two using 6 litres of hot water), and daily showers for 3 adults. Occasional dishwashing by hand, and a reasonable amount of hand washing. We do almost all our laundry in cold water. It's an unusual situation that we would make much more use of hot water than that.

We concluded that fell in the range of a "40 gallon" (182 litres) conventional electric resistance hot water tank, as a point of reference for comparisons with other options like point of use hot water (really big electric circuits seeing little use but probably requiring a service upgrade for the house from 100 to 200 amps and a pony panel). We have a buried electical service to our house, so an excavation would be required. (Did you imagine the dollar amount for that rolling up like the dials on a slot machine? I did.) In fact, we figured the "40 gallon" unit would be overkill and a "30 gallon" would likely have been sufficient.

We looked at the price of a more conventional hot water tank, knowing the electrical code would require a 20-amp 240-volt ganged circuit pair, just like the power vent would have cost. We also looked hard at the existing electrical panel and figured out how we could install a quad breaker with the ganged 20 amp circuits.

The price difference between a "30 gallon" and "40 gallon" tank was trivial at any of the 3 retail outlets we cross-shopped. The electrical wiring work would be the same for both. We elected to go with the "40 gallon" "Cascade" model because we thought it would avoid future house sale issues (40 is what people expect, so 30 might lead to price haggling). The Cascade feature allows for the water in the tank to 'stratify', that is, the hottest water rises to the top to feed the household hot water pipes and replacement cold water enters from the bottom.

We went with the Giant brand, because it uses a spray foam insulation between the real water tank and the outer skin. We had experience with this type of unit in the past at another location, and were impressed by it.

On Monday I called the tank rental company and asked them to remove it ASAP because it was leaking. It took a week and a half to get an appointment, and a new installation couldn't start until it was removed as we would reuse the space and access to the existing household plumbing connections. They instructed me not to touch the tank, as it was their property (but I did cut off the water supply to the tank so it wouldn't leak forever). So, the actual shopping for the replacement tank was put on hold for a few days. The same Monday, I called the Electrical Safety Authority and obtained an authorization number for doing the work ourselves. (I'm pretty comfortable with electrical and plumbing work, but not so with refrigeration systems like a heat pump or air conditioner. My son is better with electricity and electronics than I am.)

With a few days before we could have the space for the new tank, and knowing we were ending the natural gas service to the house in favour of all-electric, we did some additional thinking about how to control the cost of the electricity we would be using. This led to 3 additional sub-projects that are likely not for everyone.

1) We decided to add a timer control to the power circuit. We have an aggressive time-of-day pricing plan for our house called Ultra Low Overnight. It has very expensive electricity from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, which is basically dinner time for us (from prep to eating to clean-up). I figure this is the case for a lot of households, which is why it's the peak demand time (along with air conditioning in the summer months). So, while our electricity costs about 40 cents a kWh during those 5 hours each day, it only costs 4 cents a kWh during the overnight period (11 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily) - a 10:1 price difference. The programmable timer allows us to heat the water in the tank just during the lowest cost hours. (There is an override button if we ever encounter a situation where we need active electric water heating outside the cheap hours). The timer costs a little over $100 plus taxes. We expect the payback on the timer will be about 2 months: the difference between paying $0.40 and $0.04 cents a kWh and using about 10 kWh per day (based on Internet research and adjusting down to 8 kWh per day to allow for some of the use to be higher time of day rates as we're pretty water efficient), the savings will more than pay for the timer. (e.g. 6 kWh / day x $0.36/kWh price difference will be about $2/day; $2 x 60 days is $120, enough to cover the timer, and some cable). The question was, with the heating done at night, would the water stay hot enough to deliver hot showers at night before bedtime? The worst case scenario for this timing arrangement. We figured out the water volumes, and suspected it would be fine. But we had a couple of more things to add.

2) An 'anti-scald' mixing valve to ensure the hot water leaving the tank plumbing into the house is at 49 degrees C. This is now code for new construction and when hot water tanks are replaced. Not cheap, but mandatory. However, it gives us the option of storing the water in the tank at a higher temperature, not just for health (kills Legionnaire's Disease bacteria; 60 degrees C recommended), but even a little higher to increase the amount of energy stored using the cheaper electricity. The mixing valve looks after making sure the hotter water is not a scalding hazard.

3) Finally, what if we could find a way to generate some free hot water to feed into the tank, so the electric elements would use less energy? Well, turns out there's a device for that. It's called a solar water preheater. The ones that work year-round in Canada are a bit spendy, and I don't know if the payback really works out. But, there's an older approach called a batch solar water heater, which is simple and relatively cheap to implement. There are a few drawbacks: they have to be emptied in the fall when the night-time temperature starts to fall below freezing; you need a place that gets a lot of sun for it to be effective; and, it looks like hardware stores and appliance vendors won't just sell you one. Sigh. So DIY it is.

I chose to build one, and I had a head-start. I had already built one about 25 years ago, and the heart of it - a big hot water tank taken out of an old conventional water heater painted flat black - was still kicking around. The solar gain enclosure had rotted away years ago, but I had some scrap lumber and a bunch of polycarbonate panels from a mini-greenhouse (framing destroyed in a wind storm, but the panels survived). Anyway, about $20 in new plumbing fixtures, the reflectix removed from the old gas hot water tank, some coroplast panels for the back, some caulking and wood screws, and the all up out of pocket cost was around $40. Even found an old magnetic thermometer kicking around and attached to the tank where it could be read from the outside. Not pretty, but not visible to the neighbours and gets good sunlight about 5 hours a day. Every little bit helps, right?

I'm writing this on day 5 of being operational with the new gear all installed and operational, including the electrical inspection which earned an "attaboy" for my son. The two guys who removed the old gas hot water tank were fascinated by the solar pre-heater. We had plenty of hot water when purposely taking showers just before 11 p.m. to test the hot water inventory after 16 hours of cooling time in the tank. Based on the utility online consumption data for our house, the additional electricity use cost isn't even registering as a difference, even from 11 to 12 p.m. We don't miss using the electric kettles for heating water for dishes and bathing, which lasted 21 days as we got the work done and waited for the tank removal and the electrical inspection. We appreciate being able to use the dishwasher again. The feed from the solar water preheater to the tank inlet ranges from 32 to 43 degrees C (so far - and hot weather hasn't arrived yet). For reference, cold water coming into our house is around 6-8 degrees C (winter-summer), and the current ambient air temperature is maxing out around 20 to 25 degrees this past week. So even the miminum preheated water temperature gain of 24 degrees (32 - 8) is probably worthwhile and will have a short payback period. (Note: we assigned no cost to our labour for any of this. We see this as part of our contribution to making the world a better place, and volunteer labour is typically 'priced' as free. It was also educational, and will lead to future interesting conversations.)

I present this to show people that they can make the shift away from fossil fuels if they choose to do so. It isn't going to be easier than sticking with what you already have, but it can be less expensive if you have a good plan. On top of the other savings noted above, the cancellation of the natural gas service (excluding actual fuel consumed), the gas water heater rental, and the furnace maintenance contract, including taxes on those 3 items was roughly $100 a month, so the annual savings will be a bit more than $1,200 before future increases. Some of that will be offset by the need for a maintenance contract on the heat pump after the 3-year initial warranty expires, and the more expensive filters it uses compared to the old furnace.

About the Ontario grid electricity supply. It does use some fossil fuels. Since 2014, zero coal. Most of the actual generation comes from non-emitting sources (at point of production), notably nuclear fission and hydro, but with growing contributions from solar and wind and storage including pumped hydro and grid scale batteries. This image from the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) shows the total Ontario grid electricity generation by fuel type from 2010 to 2022 inclusive. This image from the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) shows the 2025 generaton by primary energy source. Less than 20% of the electricity generated came from fossil fuels; the remainder do not produce direct GHGs at the point of generation to supply the grid. Almost all of the fossil fuel used is to support generation at peak demand times, so shifting demand from peak demand time (4-9 p.m. weekdays) to lower demand times will reduce GHG emissions, reduce warming of the atmosphere and water bodies, and improve air quality. (Increasing storage capacity will make a direct impact on this as well, as is being proved month over month in Australia now.) A zero-emissions grid is feasible with enough storage, and Ontario already has a significant amount in hydro reservoirs, before it even gets serious about battery storage.

Still, our shifting of water heating demand to off-peak is helping a bit, and if more people did the same, it could make a big difference. Almost all homes in Ontario have running hot water, and Statistics Canada says there are about 5.8 million households in Ontario. Almost all households have electrical service, most via a local distribution company (LDC) which draws from the provincial grid. Due to subsidies and other government incentives, many homes in Ontario also have a natural gas connection, estimated at 3.8 million in Ontario (the province requires all new-build subdivisions to include natural gas connections, at no cost to the supplier).

That means at least 2 million Ontario households don't have natural gas connection, and presumably most will use electricity for water heating. If 2,000,000 households installed a timer on a conventional electric hot water tank, programmed to heat water between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., based on the conservative math above for our household, some 12,000,000 kWh per DAY would be shifted from mid and peak demand times to the lowest demand time (overnight), with no significant ongoing inconvenience, but a savings on their energy bill. The grid would benefit from about 2400 MW of demand shifting from peak to off peak periods - about 6 peaker plants worth, and would signficantly reduce annual natural gas imports from the U.S. It would also mean Ontario taxpayers could save about $2.2 billion per new plant construction avoided like the proposed Napanee Gas Plant.

SaveOnEnergy is an Ontario program funded by taxpayers "here to help you use energy wisely at home and at work." It features this text on it's About Save on Energy page (2026.05.30):
"When you save energy, you save money on your electricity bill and you make a lasting contribution to reducing long-term energy costs. Energy efficiency reduces and delays the need for new power plants and transmission lines." Curiously, it does not include timers for hot water heaters in its list of incentives, although they get a mention in their Energy Efficiency at the Cottage page. (2026.05.30)
As these timers allow for time-shifting of electrical loads from peak demand times to off-peak demand times, thereby improving the life of system infrastructure components and potentially avoiding construction of massive and expensive peaker plants, they should meet the objectives of saving money and increasing energy efficiency. So why no incentive for that, with a potential payback for homeowners in just a few months?

Summary: shift your electricity use for hot water heating from peak periods (like dinner-time) to off peak, with no perceived inconvenience, reduce your electrical bill (with a 2-month payback in our scenario), reduce provincial imports of natural gas from the U.S., reduce air pollution, GHG emissions and improve the return on investment on the Ontario electricity grid. Good deal, right?

As the gas infrastructure is aging, and world gas prices are rising, particularly in the U.S. which provides most of the natural gas used in Ontario, a lot of people may want to rethink that fossil fuel usage. Fugitive methane (natural gas) emissions are probably THE GHG emissions problem today.

Addendum: nice additional feature - the electric hot water tank is SILENT, unlike the low roar of the natural gas hot water tank when it was heating. As my home office is about 4 metres from the tank, it's a welcome change.

2026.05.22 You know what fixes "the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow"? Storage. Cheap, simple, reliable, zero-fuel.

Australia just suffered its worst wind and solar "drought" in four years - but needed less gas backup (Renew Economy)
If your grid already has hydro reservoirs, that's storage. Compressed air. If your end need is heat (like domestic hot water), put some surplus energy there. Freezing some extra ice cubes for later use is energy storage. Charging your EV and battery tools is storage. Charging your house battery to max is storage. When that's all maxed out, buy more grid scale storage. The old rule of thumb for off-grid storage was capacity of 2-3 days of normal use (and be efficient). As our electric grids achieve milestones like a full day of storage, and then two days, we will be able to put natural gas into its appropriate role - truly cold stand-by for the occasional need. And electricity prices will continue to fall, and economic productivity will soar.

Corporations should never be our politicians' masters. So what happened in Ontario? (SooToday)
Last week, after 22 years, our household severed it's connection to Enbridge's fuel pipe. Our future savings will include $375 a year just for maintaining the connection, on top of the actual fuel used (and that price will increase in the post-Hormuz period). We had desired this for years mostly due to Enbridge's slow response to our reported leak a few years ago, and their method for 'estimating' our gas usage when they (increasingly) choose not to send out a physical meter reader or believe our meter reading as submitted on their website. However, the timing was inconvenient, and the transition cost isn't cheap up front. The furnace left late last fall when the regular inspection (part of an annual plan we paid for separately of about $350 a year) 'failed' the heat exchanger. More recently, the rented gas hot water tank was 'failed' on its regular inspection (part of another $275 a year rental/insurance plan). These were replaced with a heat pump (heating and cooling) and an electric resistance hot water tank. We are also installing a timer for the hot water heating elements in the tank and seasonal solar hot water preheater to help reduce the electical bill for water heating.

I'll reiterate, these were not low-cost undertakings, but they do eliminate at least 3 separate monthly fees totalling about $1,000 a year (all subject to inflationary increases). They should also reduce our overall energy bills by a small amount. They do end our fossil fuel use for the house. 2 out of 3 vehicles for the household are battery-only EVs, and the third spends a lot of time as a driveway ornament now that the Netanyahu / Trump fiasco with Iran has put gasoline prices in the range of $2.00 a litre. (Our EVs cost about $0.006 per km for fuel.)

2026.05.15 Stop making solutions into problems.

Greece has cheap green energy in abundance. So why are electricity bills still so high? (euronews)
Three next step solutions.
1) Build enough storage to take fossil fuels out of the price auction equation.
2) Host variable demand (sheddable loads for times when demand approaches green supply plus storage capacity)
3) Convert a small amount of natural gas fired generation to renewable methane, preferably from local waste sources like landfill gas.

2026.05.09 I've been saying we can move away from fossil fuels to less expensive options since the 70s.

Oil got cheap again in the 80s, and everyone went back to sleep. So, I guess that makes the oil price manipulation since Israel and the U.S. made a huge mistake attacking Iran into a literal 'wake-up call'. Welcome to reality.

2026.05.08 Who has the time and resources to spread blame on a new clean technology for an outage before the utility knows?

'It was within our system': Hydro One says Algoma Steel didn't cause outage (SooToday)
In Ontario, it's usually good to start by looking at the provincial grid as the cause, and it was.

2026.05.07 Yesterday, we cancelled our natural gas service for our house. Now, the building is nominally fossil-fuel free.

Our yard tools are electric; we kicked the gas can habit decades ago. 2 of 3 road vehicles are battery electric, and the EVs get the bulk of the distance driven across the three working adults living here. Local transit is a joke, mostly diesel powered and not viable as a reliable means of getting to work, meetings or bringing home groceries and other goods.

Next step, building a small, seasonal solar water pre-heater to reduce grid electricity consumption. The Ontario electric grid is now 19% fossil-fueled, and rising. So, time to start weaning off even that.
"Balcony" solar would be great to start easing into that shift. However, Ontario acts like a petro-state despite having no observable fossil fuels domestic production. It could produce renewable methane in quantity, but has repeatedly chosen to ignore the win-win-win-win opportunity (Ontario jobs, reduced imports from the U.S., reduced GHGs, environmental benefits).
Maybe if Alberta-based Enbridge was selling renewable methane in Ontario instead of their imports from the U.S., then Premier Boondouggles would be interested. I mean, he keeps boasting about how Ontario is reducing imports from the U.S., but outside the LCBO, no real indication that is true at all. Boondouggles' pet 'small modular' nuclear reactors project technology is going to be almost entirely imported, mostly from the U.S. The processed uranium fuel may come from Russia. To this guy, that's 'energy independence'. And it's going to be the most expensive grid-connected electricity ever produced in Ontario, if the experiment ever proves to be opertationally viable. And still with no plan for permanent disposal of the long-lived radioactive waste (Long term storage isn't disposal; it's just signing up for millenia of storage costs. Sigh. Ontario taxpayers and electricity ratepayers, hold onto your wallets; it's going to be a scary ride.

2026.05.04 There is a simple and powerful approach to reduce coal methane emissions - stop digging the stuff up.

That will likely require an incentive: how about a AUS$50 per tonne extraction tax on all coal mined? Not on CO2 emissions, on the coal.
As the data shows, methane missions drop dramatically at mines where operations shut down; elsewhere, not really.
With 450,000,000 tonnes extracted in Australia in 2025, that tax (AUS$22.5 billion) could fund some shift to clean energy options.
Given the way the world is currently ponying up extra billions to big oil due to the Hormuz shipping disruption, that number seems in the ballpark.
