MUNICIPAL “GREENING” OF FLEET SERVICES – WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? Why is this topical? The City of Ottawa, like many municipalities in North America, has established an official plan to address climate change by reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its operations over time. One part of that effort is the adoption of a “Green Fleet Strategy” aimed at reducing emissions from the city-owned and operated vehicle fleet to 30% below 2012 levels by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2040. The City is now considering a draft of this plan, based on a report submitted by the engineering firm WSP Canada. What does the plan entail? The plan entails a two-phase replacement of the city’s vehicle fleet, which consists of 2,788 light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles so that the one powered by internal combustion engines are phased out and replaced by zero-emission vehicles, meaning mostly all-electric vehicles in the period to 2030 and other ZEVs as available after that. The plan does not state the total costs of conversion, only that the capital costs of the heavy-duty segment will average about CDN$20.5 million annually, maintenance costs will average CDN$27.3 million annually, and the total cost of ownership for the municipal fleet will reach CDN$1.656 billion by 2040 (annual average of CDN$ 92 million). Surprisingly, WSP Canada projects that this will actually save the City CDN$7.3 million annually by 2040 and reduce GHG emissions by 24,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2040. What are the concerns with this plan? The concerns fall into five categories: Its under-estimate of the direct costs of the proposed transition. The report does not contain enough detail to allow one to understand how WSP Canada calculated the cost of switching Ottawa’s entire vehicle fleets to electric vehicles and vehicles powered by other technologies, but there are many reasons to think that it is flawed. WSP admits that most of the technologies that it hopes will be available post-2027 are today proven in neither technological nor commercial terms. How, then, is it possible now to predict the cost of using these technologies? Its ignoring of the “social costs” of government measures artificially to reduce the costs of ZEV vehicles and increase the costs of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. With respect to WSP’s estimates of the costs of EV’s compared to internal combustion vehicles today, the costs attributed to electric vehicles ignore the many direct and indirect subsidies that governments provide to EVs and recharging stations and to the electricity generation/storage systems that will fuel them. The federal government has followed a dual approach, using regulations and subsidies. The regulations have mandated reduced emissions intensity to force vehicle manufacturers to achieve ever-higher percentages of electric and other zero-emission vehicles in their sales mix. A long list of subsidies has been granted to lower that cost of owning and operating zero-emission vehicles. The Canadian regulations governing light duty vehicle emissions intensity are closely aligned with those in the United States. The standards have required that the miles-per-gallon performance of light-duty vehicles increase from about 18 mpg in 1978 to 27 mpg in 2010 and 45 mpg in 2020. The stringency of the regulations has been increased at faster rates than warranted by either vehicle technology or consumer demand. Vehicle manufacturers that do not meet the standard by reducing the prices they charge for electric vehicles (i.e. often requiring that they sell the EVs at a loss and increase the prices of ICE vehicles ) are obliged to purchase credits from manufacturers that exceed the standard, thus enriching companies like Tesla. The Canadian government has layered on to these regulations the EV Availability Standard that requires all vehicle manufacturers to ensure that their fleet average sales of light-duty vehicles include at least 20% zero-emission (ZEV) vehicles by 2026, 60% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. These requirements are already so at odds with consumer preferences that vehicle manufacturers are losing significant amounts of money on each EV sold. Ford Motor Company alone lost USD 5.9 billion United States EV sales in 2024. No company has published the size of its losses in Canada. The federal and provincial governments have added dozens of program, subsidy and tax measures to increase the costs to consumers of ICE vehicles and reduce the costs of electric vehicles and the infrastructure to refuel them. The highest profile measure is of course the imposition of carbon taxes, now at the rate of $80 per tonne of CO2, to make fueling ICE vehicles more expensive. The other areas in which taxpayers or electricity ratepayers subsidise electric vehicles include: Research and development Battery manufacturing Vehicle manufacturing Large scale regional and local refueling infrastructure Exemption of manufacturing plants from property taxes Exemption of EV sales from excise and carbon taxes Rebates for consumer EV purchases Rate exemptions for the electrical energy used by recharging stations No studies have been done in Canada to quantify the value of all these subsidies and allow comparison of the costs of EVs and ICE vehicles. However, the Texas Public Policy Foundation published an excellent paper in October 2023 that examined most of the subsidies provided by federal and state governments in the United States. It concluded that the average light duty vehicle EV benefits from USD $48,569 in subsidies and is exempted from paying USD 4,569 in extra charging and electricity costs over a ten year period. That represents a total cost of USD $53,267 per vehicle. Converting that to fuel equivalent terms, it totals a cost of USD16.12 per equivalent gallon of gasoline. Attached as Annex A is a list of some of the measures taken by governments in Canada artificially to increase the costs of owning and operating internal combustion vehicles or to reduce the costs of owning and operating electric vehicles. The total cost of the measures I could quickly identify is almost $6.5 billion. WSP Canada did not take account of this at all. Its ignoring of the operational problems of operating electric vehicles in a cold-weather climate. From December 1 to February 28, average daily temperatures in Ottawa range from about 23 degrees F to 28 degrees F. and average nighttime temperatures range from 9 degrees F. to 14 degrees F. Every year there are some days when overnight temperatures drop to minus 20 degrees F. Colder temperatures reduce the driving range of electric vehicles and increase the amount of time needed to recharge them. At 16 degrees F. the driving range is reduced by about 25% and up to 41% when the heater is on. This especially affects electric buses. This point was not addressed at all in the WSP report. Its failure to account for the risks of increased brownouts and blackouts due to the proposed electrifying of the economy, as projected by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (i.e. leaving all police, fire and other emergency vehicles without power to recharge for days). In its 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment , NERC found that most of the North American regions face mounting resource adequacy challenges over the next 10 years as surging demand growth continues and thermal generators announce plans for retirement. The trends point to critical reliability challenges facing the industry: satisfying escalating energy growth, managing generator retirements, and accelerating resource and transmission development. The findings presented are vitally important to understanding the reliability risks to the North American bulk power system as it is currently planned and being influenced by government policies, regulations, consumer preferences, and economic factors. NERC used both a probabilistic assessment and a reserve margin analysis to assess the risk of future electricity supply shortfalls. Both are forward-looking snapshots of resource adequacy that are tied to industry forecasts of electricity supplies, demand, and transmission development. Areas categorized as “High Risk” are likely to experience a shortfall in electricity supplies at the peak of an average summer or winter season. “Elevated-Risk” areas meet resource adequacy criteria, but analysis indicates that extreme weather conditions are likely to cause a shortfall in area reserves. Ontario is an elevated risk area, as are New England, most of the US south and south-east and California. The high risk areas include the mid-continent system (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota and Michigan). The proposed Green Fleet Strategy ignores the problems of reliability that will inevitably arise if the City of Ottawa requires its police, fire and other emergency service vehicles to be all-electric in a situation in which, as recently described in the NERA assessment, most of the electric utilities in North America face the likelihood of much increased brownouts and blackouts of electricity supply due to current climate policies. Imagine a situation in which Ottawa was without power for three to five days and the police, fire and other emergency vehicles could not be fueled because they were dependent on the electricity system. The negligible, if not zero, environmental benefits of the plan. The reduction in emissions would be by 24,000 tCO2e in 2040. To place that in context, in 2022 global GHG emissions from energy consumption were 35 billion tCO2e, and those by Canada were 525 million tCO2e (i.e. 1.5% of the global total). The emissions reduction effected by the Ottawa action would today amount to one fourteen thousandth of Canada’s emissions. The planned 24,000 tonnes per year reduction constitutes a fly-spec in the world’s emissions. To illustrate, If the whole world achieves all of its stated electric vehicles emission reduction targets by 2030, the additional saved CO2 emissions over this decade would be 235 million tonnes. The standard climate model used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reveals that this would reduce global average temperatures by only 0.0002 degrees F. by 2100 . That is two ten thousandths of a degree Fahrenheit. Why Does This Matter? I submitted comments to the clerk of the responsible Ottawa Council committee so that the concerns will be on the record. I expect my comments to be ignored, partly because of the views of the current councilors and partly because my lone voice will be drowned out by a parade of presentations by representatives of well-funded environmental lobby groups. Many other municipalities in Canada and the United States may face similar choices as long as climate activists are in control of the policy agenda. Currently, municipalities in the United States are not as advanced in their commitments to electrify their vehicle fleets as the ones in Canada. Madison, Wisconsin plans to eliminate its gasoline-powered vehicle fleet by 2030; New York City and San Jose, California are aiming at 25% ZEV vehicles by 2030. It is important that citizens in both Canada and the United States inform themselves and take the time to submit comments when issues like this arise.

ROBERT LYMAN Since he came to Ottawa after university, Mr. Lyman has spent his life working on public policy issues, for ten years as a foreign service officer, and afterwards in a number of positions in which he worked and advised on energy, environment, and transportation policy issues within the federal government. His long public service career has made him a strong believer in the importance of the democratic decision-making process and the proper balancing of society’s many different goals. Robert has written and advised on the energy and economic implications of climate-related policies and programs for over thirty years. He is deeply concerned about the politicization of decision making and the stifling of dissenting views on this important subject. Robert Lyman has spent over forty years as an economist, manager, and consultant working on a broad range of energy and environment public policy issues, mainly for the Canadian federal government. The following is a summary of his experience. After graduation with an Honours degree in International Relations (Economics, Political Science and History), Robert joined the former federal Department of External Affairs. He served as a Canadian diplomat for ten years, with postings in Caracas, Venezuela, and Washington, D.C. His assignment in Washington occurred during a period when both Canada and the U.S. were heavily regulating oil and natural gas markets and prices, and there were several outstanding issues to be resolved concerning cross-border oil and gas trade and pipelines, including whether the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline should be built. This gave him an opportunity to learn a great deal about energy and trade regulation and pricing issues. After leaving the foreign service, Robert worked as an economist in the Energy Policy Branch of the Energy, Mines and Resources department during the acrimonious negotiations over oil and gas policy before and after the publication of the National Energy Program. He worked for two years in Finance Canada analyzing and advising on energy expenditure issues related to the federal Budget. After that, he led a group of economists responsible for analysis of international oil prices and market conditions. For two years, Robert worked on Executive Interchange as the Ottawa representative of the Canadian Gas Association at the time of natural gas deregulation. In the late 1980s, he was the Senior Director of Energy Policy when climate change issues first arose; he was heavily engaged at that time in the implementation of the Offshore Accords with Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and with the negotiation of the resource aspects of aboriginal land claims. Robert was the first federal co-chair of the Federal-Provincial Committee on Climate Change. He was the Senior Director of Oil Policy from 1995 to 2002 when the fiscal regime governing oil sands development was being expanded, and he worked closely with Finance Canada on the key issues. At that time, he led the first federal work assessing the public policy that should govern carbon dioxide capture and geological storage. Robert managed the group providing expert advice on the potential for emissions reduction in the oil industry during the Climate Change Table Process prior to the Kyoto Accord. He was the Director General, Environmental Affairs, in Transport Canada from 2002 to 2006, leading the analysis and policy development with respect to emissions reduction in the transport sector, development and implementation of climate programs, and promotion of technology development to reduce emissions in the transport sector. As a consultant from 2006 on, he performed major studies for Transport Canada on the implementation of the new Navigable Waters Protection Act, on the governance of the offshore oil shipping regime and on the development of a seamless regulatory regime to govern the prevention of and response to ship-source oil spills. He has written extensively on energy and climate-related issues, including several articles for the FOSS and a major paper on the factors affecting energy transitions for the U.K. Global Warming Policy Foundation. Throughout his public service career, Robert worked for eight Prime Ministers: Pierre Trudeau, Joe Clark, John Turner, Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin, and Stephen Harper. He was proud to perform his public service duties in a non-partisan way.

TERRY DUNLEAVY MBE, JP In Memory of Terry Dunleavy In April 2006, Terry Dunleavy and a group of fellow New Zealanders created the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (NZCSC) to correct much of the misleading information being disseminated about climate change and man-made global warming. In response to strong international support for the NZCSC’s science-based approach to the debate, and in preparation for the UN Bali climate conference in 2007, Mr. Dunleavy, working with Bryan Leyland and interested citizens from other countries, created the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC). Mr. Dunleavy remained very active in the climate change debate, working closely with the ICSC and NZCSC, maintaining the NZCSC Web site, speaking to public gatherings (view a short excerpt of the presentation Mr. Dunleavy gave in May 2009 in New York City) and writing popular level articles about the issue (e.g. "Let's use cooling off period to check our facts ," New Zealand Herald, May 6, 2008). From 1998 to 2003, Mr. Dunleavy was national co-ordinator of Bluegreens , now the NZ National Party’s advisory group on environmental issues. He was a former journalist and commercial printer, and had been involved in the NZ wine industry for many years, receiving the MBE honor in 1990 for services to the wine industry and the community. Between 1976 and 1991, Mr. Dunleavy was the inaugural CEO of the Wine Institute of New Zealand and had been the editor of the magazine, “New Zealand WineGrower ”, since 1997. Read Mr. Dunleavy's November 18, 2013 article in the New Zealand Herald.

PARIS AGREEMENT What none of Canada's leaders understand about the Paris Agreement Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, Canada committed to reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (about 80% of which is carbon dioxide (CO 2 )) by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. This means a reduction from 730 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO 2 eq) in 2005 to 511 Mt CO 2 eq in 2030. China, by far the world's largest emitter, committed to stop increasing CO 2 emissions by 2030. This asymmetry makes no sense, of course. Allowing China, which now emits about twice as much as America, to increase emissions over this period, while restricting Canada and the U.S., would result in even more industries moving to China. Total global CO 2 emissions would then likely rise even faster. But that problem pales in comparison with the fact that, unknown to most observers, China and other developing nations need not ever curtail emissions under Paris. It’s all in the fine print. All United Nations climate-change agreements, including Paris, are based on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Paris treaty says, “The Parties to this Agreement, in pursuit of the objective of the Convention [UNFCCC], and being guided by its principles” And UNFCCC Article 4 makes it clear that: “The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties.” In other words, under the Paris Agreement and other treaties based on the UNFCCC, any commitments developing nations make to reduce their GHG emissions are conditioned on developed countries giving them enough money and technology. Former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt confirmed this in a Fox News interview on Oct. 17, 2017, saying, “India conditioned all of the responsibilities on receiving $2.5 trillion of aid.” But even if developed countries give developing countries everything promised, under the UNFCCC, developing countries may apparently still ignore their commitments to restrict emissions if such actions would interfere with their “first and overriding priorities” [of] “economic and social development and poverty eradication.” We, of course, are expected to keep our emission reduction commitments no matter how it damages our economy. UN bureaucrats have not hidden this inequality. They repeatedly explain “development and poverty eradication” are the most important issues for developing countries. Climate change clearly takes a back seat. Restricting CO 2 emissions in developing nations would almost certainly involve significantly reducing the use of coal, the source of well over half of China’s electricity, for example. As coal is the cheapest source of power in most of the world, restricting CO 2 emissions by reducing coal use would obviously interfere with development priorities. So, no matter what emission reductions they promise, China and many other developing countries are unlikely to follow their commitments, citing UNFCCC Article 4 as their excuse. This is unlikely to change even as developing countries become more prosperous. Chinese negotiator Su Wei stated at the Peru UN climate conference in 2014 that the purpose of the Paris Agreement is to “reinforce and enhance” the UNFCCC, not rewrite it. Canada, and indeed all developed nations, are being taken for a ride.
