It might be an advantage to include a solar charging option for the battery.

1-In the form of a panel in a canopy of rooftop form. Very clean and cool to be riding using the power of the sun. Good life lesson for the grandchildren.

2-As an emergency charger. Just a small foldable solar unit, that can be used, if the battery loses power.

Several solar companies are “hooking up” with numerous car and bike companies in order to sell packaged units. This company might be a candidate for offering the same options.

Comment on Hamilton consortium puts pressure on Ontario government to lift moratorium on offshore wind in the Great Lakes by Bruce Sharp

In spite of what I might have said recently, I don’t see our exchanges as laughable. I find your use of the term “clueless”, however accurate you feel it is, to border on an ad hominem argument — something I wouldn’t expect from you but that is all too easy for all of us to do when exchanging online and not face to face. As I’ve indicated previously, you’d be surprised about my views on some things, so neither of us is up to speed on each other’s views/stands on things. So, I will say, with sincerity, good for being part of the effort and therefore in a much better position toreport on what’s happening and influence things.

If I didn’t understand and accept the need for objective measurement and peer-to-peer comparison, I would never have joined the effort. You may find our exchanges “laughable,” as I believe you put it recently, but you really haven’t a clue about where I stand on things, apparently.

Tyler,

With all do respect (this is admittedly a phrase used just before uttering something that might be considered to be disrespectful), I can’t help but think that if you weren’t involved in the process, you’d be frothing at the mouth.

Hi Rob,

I’m actually involved with this list, as I am the editor-in-chief of Corporate Knights magazine, which creates the Global 100. The ranking is product agnostic — it doesn’t pass judgement on the product, be it oil sands syncrude, cigarettes, military weapons, etc…. The ranking was designed to only measure how a company operates relative to its industry peers, determined via publicly disclosed environmental, social and governance data. So Suncor, Enbridge, Encana and Nexen are doing well relative to their peers on a global basis. It’s not a statement about the oil sands as much as a statement about which companies in the oil sands are behaving most responsibly. It’s also not to say that these companies shouldn’t be doing a much better job.

Hi Tyler,

I know this is off article but for some reason you did not mention it in your blog.

Just out is the list of the 100 most sustainable companies in the World and Canada has six companies on this list.

“The Global 100 list, released each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, ranks major corporations on a wide variety of factors including their relative energy and water consumption, carbon emissions, board diversity, the ratio of CEO-to-worker pay, and the amount of waste they generate.”

“The Canadian firms in the top 100 were Suncor Energy Inc. (48), Enbridge Inc. (71), Encana Corp. (76), Nexen Inc. (89), Sun Life Financial Inc. (91) and Royal Bank of Canada (95). ”

WOW. The top four Canadian companies are in the Oil Sands! How can this be? You mean these companies really care about the environment and sustainability? Yep. Looks like these Oil Sands and Oil & Gas companies are doing a great job.

Could this engine produce electricity energy efficiently in conjuntion with Rossi’s e-cat? Why couldn’t you hook up with him? Don
