Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), on behalf of its Flagship Funds, has launched a dedicated platform for the development and realization of energy projects in Canada. 

The new platform, Horizon, builds on top of CIP’s activities in Canada to date, which includes Travers Solar (692 MW DC) as well as construction of the country’s onshore wind project, Buffalo Plains (495 MW AC).

“As part of CIP’s dedicated strategy of investing in growth platforms, we are excited about the prospects and the opportunity to create an established developer of renewable energy projects in Canada,” says CIP’s Tim Evans. “Horizon is an important step in our efforts to develop renewable energy projects in Canada that will provide local jobs and clean, renewable energy for many years to come.”

Horizon will be an independent power producer owning both operational projects as well as projects under construction or in development. Based in Calgary, the new company will assume the responsibility of the development of CIP’s Flagship Funds existing 1.2 GW of development assets in British Columbia. Horizon will primarily focus on the origination, development and implementation of solar PV, onshore wind and battery storage projects.

Horizon’s development efforts will be led by Shannon Wever, an established developer in Canada with more than 20 years of experience in renewable energy origination and development.

“I am thrilled to join CIP and lead Horizon New Energy in Canada. Canada is in the midst of a significant build-out of renewable energy to meet Canada’s ambitions of decarbonizing the electricity grid by 2035, so I’m excited by the opportunity to leverage CIP’s industrial experience and financial capacity in Horizon’s development efforts,” says Wever.

People Will Hate Me …..

Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.

No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.

You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron.  There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.

Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?

The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.

Oh, it’s clear all right, but it’s not really true.  People who live in places like Northern Europe, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rico, etc. are generally quite affluent.
Now, if you aspire to be the world’s next trillionaire, on a planet where 1.5 billion people can’t a glass of clean water to drink, you’ll need to go to a place like Switzerland, where it’s easy to hide money from taxation.

Gun Laws

Published

on

We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”

It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.

Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.

Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
