Transcript Hello, and welcome to episode 136 of the Clean Energy Show. I'm Brian Stockton. I'm James Whittingham. This week, Toyota may finally be waking up to electric car reality. Turns out they just slept through their alarm, which wet off five years ago. Fully charged live show is coming to Australia. James and I are still waiting for our invite to the Canadian show, but we would love to go to Australia and hang out with our two listeners there. Liz Truss, the UK's solar hating Prime Minister, has resigned. The new PM is Rishi Sunak, who I think is ahead of Lettuce. I don't know, I just wasn't really paying attention. All that is so much more on this edition of the Clean Energy Show. I was going to list all the other things that we had to talk about this week. I apologize to Australia again for my Southern hemisphere ignorance. Our city buys an electric truck and we hear why they think it's a good idea. And, yeah, all kinds of wonderful things that we're going to have to speed through, because I got a big fat show for you this week. I have a big fat story for you this week.

They called it a snowfall warning, but I have a bone to pick with Environment Canada, because it really should have been a blizzard warning. They have criteria for blizzard warnings, Brian. It has to be windy and zero visibility in a certain temperature, depending on the region. It actually varies by region. This is our Canadian weather service. That's right. And I think the one thing we may not have had was temperature, because it was only around zero, but we had all the other things. So we wanted to stop in Moose Jaw on the way home. Pictures. What? It was for work. My partner had a bit of work to do and it involved taking pictures in Moose Jaw. So, yeah, the snow starts to fall and we start driving in Moosejaw. In about 30 minutes out of Moosejaw, the snow was just getting super heavy and thick and cars were going in the ditch. This is a fairly small highway, just like a twolane highway. And, yes, we had to slow down to, like, 40 just about lost control of the car. At one poi
