The cost of building a large oil refinery in Canada is only $25 B. Why export when the oil can be used here while we transition off fossil fuels?

Carney backs down again on climate, no longer requiring the oil industry to cut methane emissions by 2030. Evidently, the industry that makes over $31 B a year in profit can't afford to abate their emissions at a cost of $5 B per year. It would have cost less had they started sooner. #cdnpoli

Clean energy from the oilpatch? Think again. Why no enforcement when Alberta exceeded annual provincial limit by 36% in 2014 and is on track to do it again this year? LNG and tar sands are not clean, that is why we must have enforced emissions caps. #cdnpoli www.reuters.com/world/albert...

44% of extraction emissions are from bitumen, 70% might be captured by CCS No CCS in the world works at capacity, the highest is 40% Pathways will reduce emissions by < 16%, currently zero commitment by oil industry. Carney's math doesn't make tar sands oil clean energy. #cdnpoli

Alberta's electricity generation is > 40% of power generation GHG emissions in Canada, approx. 20 MT / year. Applying the 2026 social cost of carbon at $275 / ton results in a subsidy to Alberta of $5.5B granted by Carney. 90 MT of extraction emissions no longer have a cap. Some deal. #cdnpoli

Paul Renaud @paulrenaud.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Even if the pipeline never happens, and it should never happen, exempting Alberta from clean electricity regulation is a huge blow to the environment. Carney either has no idea what he is doing, or has betrayed everyone who voted for him expecting real progress on a green economy. #cdnpoli

Before taxpayers agree to pay an additional $4B to upgrade the capacity of the TMX, we need to recoup the $34B already spent on a pipeline that never pays for itself. Currently, taxpayers are subsidizing $13/b of oil flowing thru the pipeline based on tools that do not recover cost. #cdnpoli

No amount of collective masturbation in Alberta alters the lack of business case for another oil pipeline. OPEC's forecast for oil demand over the next 25 years is <1% growth per year, with the risk that advances in energy efficiency substitution may reduce demand growth to zero. ##cdnpoli

The oilheads in Alberta screaming for pipelines don't care that they are not economic, let alone good for the climate. IEC forecasts a glut of 4 M barrels of oit by Q1 2026. Even the US Dept of Energy forecasts oil prices below $54. Small wonder there are no proponents for pipelines. #cdnpoli

Carney is agreeing to 2 new pipelines while greenwashing the oil industry. His "firm commitment" to achieving Canada's climate targets amounts to insisting the oil industry eventually sequesters 22 MT of CO2 a year vs the 208 MT per year they emit already. With no cap on extraction emissions.

@acoyne.bsky.social Pipelines?? 2 questions no one is asking. 1. The TMX is not at capacity and even if it were, it will never pay back on the investment made. Why another when economics don't work? 2. Hello, what about climate change? Oil extraction is the largest source of emissions in Cda.
