Energy Transition Just died This Week

[jazz]

Still dying. This week UK halted all new windmill construction and went to greenlight 7 new nuke plants.

And now Biden. This is going to put a little dent in Trudeaus stupid woke green policies.

I am loving it. Reality meets physics.

Warren Buffet will be smiling ear to ear as trainloads of oil will make him a fortune. Oil by rail has increased dramatically here as the steam plants are cranking out oil at record levels . The new rail loading spot north of North Battleford is getting very busy .

So do you think that the $1.3 billion that Kenney UCP government spent in 2020 for cancelling the lease contracts of the 4400 oil rail cars that Notley government had contracted to move an additional 120,000 bpd out of province was a bad decision?

Kenny had the foresight to subsidize and build Keystone out to Oyen. He knows that unicorns and windmills and fairy dust wont power fck all.

If Biden had not cancelled it, it would be built across the US border by now and could have been tied into tankage or other systems temporarily until the final legs could be constructed. There was a big rail yard upgrade done at that location a couple yrs ago too.

And our govt run pipeline project Transmountain is 200% over budget and 2 yrs behind schedule.

And Kenney's guarantees of KXL came at a final cost to Alberta taxpayers of $1.3 billion. So Kenney spent $2.6 billion of taxpayer's money on a defunct pipeline and opposing rail movement and not a single barrel of oil will be moved as a result of that spending!

Hind sight is 20/20 , keystone was better alternative than rail . Will be interesting to see how we will ship grain by rail next fall winter cause rail will be tied up tremendously most likely with oil ?

Yesterday CBC headlined a report that many countries are not meeting or even participating in making ghg reductions and the whole program is off the rails.
With no mention of the worst offenders or non participants they went with a detailed analysis of how Canada should double down and basicly kill our western economy to make an insignificant contribution to goals that can never be achieved with the major players expanding coal based economies.

Much chanting about "we have to do our part" even if it is totaly insignificant.

It all needs more "Funding".

Yup Notly is definitely a better business Manger than any Kenny Clowns.
Conservatives never care if the results are for the public and economic good . Only if the right folks cash in.
