I just copied a list, yeah, CO2 is not a pollutant…

It’s because of the size difference. Stoves are much smaller compared to power plants. Power plants are continuously burning natural gas to produce electricity, 24/7, meanwhile, with stoves, you are probably not cooking 24/7. Stoves also will not burn as much natural gas compared to a power...

You could say it’s 15, but that’s only when it broke ground. Usually when we refer to buildings ages, we refer to the date they opened. Take a look at TD Canada Trust Tower, it was proposed 1986, it started construction 1987, and finished 1990. When we say its age, we say it was built in 1990...

Kind of like using waste heat, (taking advantage of electricity produced, to produce heat.) The Enwave Pearl Street Energy Centre in downtown Toronto mainly generates heat for downtown office buildings. It does this by generating electricity, which is used to produce heat through a process...

Natural gas stoves do not release natural gas into your home, as this would be extremely dangerous. This is how they work. The stove draws natural gas from the gas line. When you turn on a burner and ignite it, the gas mixes with oxygen from the air and burns. This combustion produces heat...

Interesting docs about the old tracks. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-224481.pdf https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-225283.pdf

Yeah, that’s what I was referring to here, Photo is from City of Toronto. “An Infectious Idea: Environmental Health”.

I’ve seen that photo! Wow, imagine breathing that… How about we also build the massive proposed smokestack at Pearl Street Energy Centre from the 1960s? Yup, that’s right. They wanted to build a smokestack DOWNTOWN almost as TALL as the TD Centre. Original Toronto Star caption: Soaring...

Isn’t that the placeholder?

If they do close it, what will happen to the building? And where will they move it?

To add on, they can’t just convert it to run on hydrogen, as I’ve talked about, a big chunk of Downtown Toronto’s power runs on this plant. Plus more buildings are being built, adding to more power demand. If they were to cut the energy produced from this plant, I’m not sure how some buildings...

I think it would be better if we were using hydrogen, but natural gas carries much more energy per volume than hydrogen, so hydrogen is less efficient, meaning hydrogen would produce less power. I think this might be important as it produces a big chunk of energy for Downtown Toronto, at 550...

Some facts about the three big smokestacks in the area. This stack is connected to a former incinerator, built in 1955. It originally had only three shorter smokestacks. They demolished those smokestacks, but kept the building, and built the much taller smokestack, which still stands today. The...

Looks finished here.

More of this view. Skyline of The Esplanade.

After. It’s gone now.

There was a van parked on the sidewalk and someone installing the sign. I remember that Second Cup.

The west side looks finished. They also recently completed the east side. Now it’s just the north and south sides. Attempted at using DaVinci Resolve’s tracking feature. Waited long enough for the render so I didn’t bother to do it again.

East glass for the second floor of the podium is finished. Towers of The Esplanade Between them.
