Canada's newly appointed Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is indeed a staunch supporter of clean energy. He advocates the development of hydropower, wind energy, hydrogen energy, and battery energy storage, and promotes energy transformation to reduce the dependence on traditional fossil fuels, aiming to make Canada a superpower in the field of clean energy. However, this is quite different from the stance of his neighbor Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

Why are we comparing both? One is a grifter, and the other hopefully has his senses about him.

Trump isn't trying to improve USA global viability. He has no future vision. Hell, he doesn't know what he is doing from day to day.

Carney does have a future focus. What he does now prepares Canada to compete 10 to 15 years out. He is working for the people and a legacy. Trump is working for self enrichment and Putin.

Trump has a tendency to fondly look back at the 1950s Not sure that's the forward strategy we need.

Hydro is well developed and provincial not federal, right? Renewables and battery are now commercially viable.

If I was president before the Vietnam war, US would be a Russian vassal state long time ago - Trump
