No, producers of non-renewable energy sources should be taxed to incentivize them to transition to the production of renewable energy sources.

 @9GNXXXTfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

We can certainly help with grants in the national interest, to expand renewable energy and make it more accessible for businesses.

 @92NSVSPfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Certainly. We need research and development to be made on different types of renewable power and electricity, to help solve climate change.

 @8ZRFPJKfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, with the exception of bio-diesel subsidies, which are a net negative.

 @8V6C5CNfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Possibly depending on what it is and how it impacts the deficit on Canadians.

 @8V672JYfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but our first priority should be drastically reducing our national budget deficit

 @8TXYQNNfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Shouldn't be dependent on a single source of energy. Green energy is not really green.

 @8P9X5GTLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

i think the government should make everyone consume renewable vape sources

 @9BK2RQ6from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, we need this if we want businesses to develop in a positive way forward.

 @99K3PVRfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

i'm not exactly sure.

 @98FPFSYLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, we should. It's in our national interest to develop energy independence, as well as continue our power as a lead exporter of energy, whether it be in oil and gas, and natural resource development, or exporting renewable tech to other nations. It's also good for us to develop it as it can show the world the potential that it has.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
