Energy Transition Just died This Week

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!

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?

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.

While I don’t condone some of the Kenney government choices, one thing I can assure of, if Notley was the Premier right now the budget would not be balanced even with $100 oil.

Are you sure, because he who shall not be mentioned on this forum hasn't cut and paste that CBC article yet, and I think he copies and paste every thing the CBC says about the environment. And he's still waxing poetically about transitioning to a low carbon economy over on the children's forum. Thinking this must be fake news.

Kenny has lots of shortcomings, he is a believer in Canada has to be his worst one.

But he knows what Alberta is and didnt try to hamstring it an the first windfall he gets he promptly balances the budget. So I cant fault him for that.

Trudeau on the other hand is PM of the country with the greatest natural resource assets on the planet and staring at a commodities super cycle, and what do we get? Another $100B in debt budget.

Suncor ditches wind and solar project, goes hydrogen and renewable fuels.

Man, the green dream just keeps self destructing before our eyes.

You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
