    UK is more fossil fuel friendly. Shell is moving there.

    Are they?

    Or did they just not want to deal with the dutch legal system in addition to the British legal system considering the dutch are basically nobodies.

    Just rats abandoning a sinking ship. The Brit's have been pushing green nonsense for years, mostly because they don't have strategic quantities of oil left anyway.

    They're a bit more realistic about the situation. Some countries are now in fantasyland.

    Dutch legal system? I bet that's a hoot.

    Dutch people in Shell are the best. They're the only ones in the entire organization that defend their DEP's to the death. It takes a lot of training to not LoL directly at Luuk while he insists you use a pump standard developed for liquid hydrocarbons in Rotterdam to pump hydrotransport mining slurry in Fort McMurray.
    Especially when he's the one who walks away laughing like as if he's even in the planet bordering correct.

    Net bad for Calgary? Not really.

    Not great if you are on a union negotiated long term fixed wage government contract and the prices of everything start going up around you. Lol.

    Basically if you are exposed to market forces you will be ok. If you aren’t, you are gonna bitch about it.

    That’s why most teachers and nurses I know marry into the oil patch to hedge haha

    Oilpatch plus public sector is a good family hedge.

    The ability to change blue light into red using a quantum dot filter will launch the solar panel industry. Could easily double electrical output on cloudy days, its main weakness.

    Sure it still won't be as good as a sunny day, but it won't be completely devastating when its not.

    Sticker shock on Canada-wide carbon tax on energy bills should be hitting right about now. Trudeau getting sick right on schedule.

    But no doubt, when the UK citizens get their 46% energy cap hike on their bills - its gonna hurt.

    I wonder now that gas is green, can we FINALLY get Canada rolling as an LNG leader?

    Save the climate by selling it to fucking Asia. Christ.

    Why don’t they see this is the way?! JT is the furthest left liberal I’ve ever imagined.
