Carney to brief premiers on plan to fast-track major nation-building projects
-
I use a lot of fossil fuels and t think theyâre going to last longer than some government goals suggest, but Iâm not certain that any new pipelines make sense, anywhere in the world. Fix up and maintain the existing ones until they can be mothballed. Maybe thereâs an argument to be made that exiting fossil fuels leaves market for other countries, or something, but investing heavily in a technology that we know for certain is hurting humanityâs chances of survival doesnât seem bright.
I think the current global mindset is fossil fuels wonât be used as much for fuel, but plastics are still booming. The next fossil fuel race will be who can make the most plastic. I canât say that its better for the planet.

"The proposed legislation would allow the Carney cabinet to make regulations to modify federal regulatory requirements for all projects determined to be in the countryâs national interest.
He said national interest projects will include âpipelines that make sense,â clean energy grids, trade corridors, nuclear facilities, critical minerals and carbon-capture facilities"
Hopefully Doug Fordâs highway and highway tunnel donât make the list but high speed rail does.

Doomberg was saying Carney was going to run for election in order to push pipelines through Quebec for a while now, using a separation crisis to do so. All his predictions seem to be coming true.

I guess it all hinges on which pipelines âmake senseâ; if none, I approve

What separation crisis? Alberta having a hissy fit over the election is hardly a crisis, and anyway, Quebec doesnât give a shit. Quebecers themselves do support a pipeline, so I donât think you can say the government will âpushâ anything through.

For all his talk about increasing economic productivity in terms of producing more goods, all I see is more resource extraction.
Carbon capture is a darling of the oil industry that allows them to keep doing business as usual. It requires an insane amount of often unclean electricity and is vapourware that does not work at scale. Oil companies love carbon capture, just like they love ânatural gasâ that lets them sell biproducts of fracking.
Nuclear is great but our climate does not have the 10 years it takes to build a reactor.
Where weâre headed, weâll end up with more oil output, more emissions, more car-dependency, and a bunch of partially completed projects in 10 years.
This needs more focus on low carbon public transit and fast and achievable solar and wind.
It is abundantly clear that even if every automobile was replaced with an EV, weâd still bake our planet. Mining the ring of fire is a profit-seeking, extractive venture and not a climate solution.
In order to produce more goods you need the energy infrastructure to support it. The problem is that things take time and a lack of investment over time in various sectors means we will be behind for some time.

You donât want to be on the opposite side of pissed off MontrĂ©alers. They riot like the French and would fiercely fight any attempts by the feds to force a pipeline on QuĂ©bec. The entire Bloc QuĂ©bĂ©cois would have their back too. Bad idea.
Liberals wouldnât get a seat in Quebec for yearsâŠ

SMRs should take less than 10 years and the one about to be built will be ready well before that in theory. The problem is theyâre so new here that even if it works and everything goes according to plan, itâs probably a couple decades before itâs even begun to scale.

No sir, ânation buildingâ means pipelines.

Moving oil from one part of the country to another part of the country. Really makes me feel connected to everyone. /s
