If you look at Canada as an economic entity it does make sense—if we are going to expand production capacity of oil—to do that in Newfoundland.
However… we need to be building bridges to the EU particularly and the way to do that is by building out our “clean” energy infrastructure including mining for the raw materials for battery production (and manufacturing in Canada).
The material science argument for using Alberta’s oil for making other carbon products than simply shipping it out to be refined, is well established and in the long-run interests of Canada (and dare I say Alberta, although the oil companies that run the province would disagree).
No more pipelines.
Let’s invest in where the world will be 20-30 years from now.
Wow! Are you hooked into your provincial Liberal organization? Can you catch their ear, because now's the right time as the party is reshaping where it wants its policy to be. You have great ideas and articulate them well.
Has anyone done a study of how much wealth Canadians are sitting on waiting for an investment that ties nationalism and economics? Perhaps there could be campaigns like they had during WWII when people were encouraged to buy bonds. A bond or stock specifically tied to this project would appeal to me and give me a personal stake in promoting our energy independence.
Simple answer. No. Because climate change. If we keep arguing left vs right, country vs country, race vs race, we’re all going to suffer (i.e. people dying) much more. It’s not people games anymore. We’re on the brink of a global climate change that we really don’t understand and can’t model.
notice how there is never a good time to actually start the energy transition? BP and other energy companies are all ditching their green energy plans and it's still baby drill. i'm not an engineer but studied climatology at undergrad and masters levels. Short version is i'm really glad i'm old enough to be dead before i have to witness the worst impacts of climate change and that we didn't have kids. it would take enlightened leadership to get us past our lizard brain (immediate fear vs greater threat just out of sight), but corporate interests are not going to let that happen. if you keep falling for this short term view your children's future is well and truly fucked.

I would like to hear more about this strategy . Is it being discussed as an alternative or addition to pipe line expansion.
Thank you for the reminder, more please
Will Trump allow CANADA TO EXPORT LNG TO EUROPEAN MARKETS?

And we can pay for Newfie LNG development with the profits from the Transmountain pipeline, which will start rolling in any day now!
