The Green Party offended me when they simplistically opposed all pipeline construction instead of promoting tight rules for proposing and building them. Sometimes pipelines are the best environmental option. Ideologies can be helpful but can also be harmful. Simplistic solutions are usually the wrong solution.
When does the world switch completely to clean energy? If they keep building pipelines it’ll never happen and the younger generations are screwed. There’s only so much oil in the ground, first of all. It’s a non renewable resource. Fracking causes more problems. There are problems with refining oil sands. Pipeline ruptures damage ecology. Gas powered vehicles pollute. Those are facts. When are leaders going to be bold enough to transition to clean energy and create a new thriving job sector? When are people going to be brave enough? We moved away from steam engines. I guess if Elon’s Tesla dominates it gives electric vehicles a bad name but the technology is there for plenty of others.
You caught my question. I didn’t want to post it, I decided.Does it open a question about the ultimate conclusion? Apocalypse sooner as we industrialize and do not inhibited physical birth and growth? Only so much essence of spirit and soul comes down as it tends to float off as lost something or other ...
Three headed dogma coming forth with crisis? So it goes ...
Most of the pipeline proposals coming from Alberta are bad proposals. The vessels carrying fuel and other hazardous goods using the passage between Haida Gwai and Prince Rupert should be as small and as few as possible. Enbridge presented a scheme which lied in its map and down played the risks. Another pipeline carrying oil to the east looks like questionable economics. One strictly in Canada is great foolishness from an economic and environmental point of view.
But there might be situations where a pipeline is the best option. Natural gas pipelines are mainly a concern in the construction phase. TC and Enbridge do not have great records. Tighter rules and enforcement are needed.
I totally agree with you on all points.Bloody impressive. Good sound bites AND very insightful.
"Nostalgia is not a strategy" was particularly good.
The world is rapidly changing. We can either kowtow to Trump individually for table scraps, or stand up to him collectively.
I can't believe how well Carney did there. It was brilliant. People are saying it's the best speech by a world leader in a long time. The best people.
Impressive or not in your opinion?
