B.C.’s broad-based carbon tax puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions. This provides an incentive for sustainable choices that produce fewer emissions. The escalating tax was phased in on July 1, 2008. Beginning April 1, 2018, B.C.'s carbon tax rate is $35 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. The tax rate will increase each year by $5 per tonne until it reaches $50 per tonne in 2021. New revenue generated from the increasing carbon tax is used to protect affordability, maintain industry competitiveness, and encourage new clean initiatives.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference.

The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
