Rarely does energy transition happen as swiftly or radically as May and Blanchet propose – especially with how entrenched petroleum is in our daily lives. It’s a timely reminder of the #energyphile story “Hubris Defined”: energyphile.org/hubris-defin…. @CBCNews

The leaders of the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois are calling for the government to stop supporting oil and gas, and to invest in renewable energy instead. cbc.ca/1.5557725 @JPTasker

If TMX goes ahead, pipeline expansion to Puget Sound would reduce crude oil exports by tanker from Vancouver and reduce either oil-by-rail or inbound tanker crude deliveries for Wash state refiners. Could be part of solution; not additional problem. theglobeandmail.com/canada/b…

Funny - I look at all those gathering system pipelines and all I see is a glaring need for a new transmission pipeline to take all that product out of the province

Freeland: “Canada considers it frankly absurd that we would be considered to be a national security threat to USA...I absolutely assure Canadians who work in steel and aluminum industries that govt is absolutely prepared to and will defend Canadian industries and jobs."

You have to admire the Tyee and its star author Andrew Nikiforuk for their consistency in producing mis-leading and incomplete articles on the topic of pipelines and oil sands. Although truth be told, this one represents a high-water mark in the oeuvre #bcpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli 1/ nitter.gq/TheTyee/status/1001870…
Kinder Morgan “took advantage of a bitumen republic that foolishly proclaimed an unneeded pipeline a matter of ‘national interest’ without so much as a risk analysis or simple cost benefit report.” #bcpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli

Here's what a GMP analyst has to say about the Trans Mountain situation: "We are left questioning why any company would pursue large capital investment in Canada if the regulatory process and courts cannot create a path to project completion with reasonably certain timelines."

Canada is shooting its oil and gas industry in the foot, but Venezuela is shooting its industry in the head. nitter.gq/Resource_Works/status/…

#Oil prices are back to the center of political debate, from emerging economies like India, to the U.S., creating a big headache for #SaudiArabia. Riyadh needs higher oil revenues, but it doesn’t want to upset demand growth (and/or encourage government policies against oil) #OOTT – at Hounslow, London

Goodness me. I feel this morning like I woke up in 2005, and I'm about to read 'Twilight in the desert' once again.

For those who missed the subtext @ElizabethMay went into @Transport_gc's science house and talked smack. TC replied by throwing down a cataclysmic dunk that essentially shattered the backboard. Ms. May has failed to respond tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/our-r… #bcpoli #GPC #abpoli #ableg

The US shale industry is booming, but output growth is constrained by a lack of sufficient pipeline capacity in Texas. It won't be until next year that bottlenecks are eased: ft.com/content/fac73006-53c9… via @financialtimes

A fascinating conversation today with Richard Rhodes about his upcoming book, Energy: A Human History, a sweeping look at how energy has transformed societies, industry, economy & environment since Elizabethan era. Coming soon to @ColumbiaUEnergy podcast! kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…

Wenn irgendjemand in der deutschen Politik noch denkt, dass Deutschland Spitzenreiter in der #Energiewende sei und jetzt erstmal warten soll, dass andere nachziehen, sollte sich mal diese Folie von @Stategrid aus #China anschauen. China ist überall Nr. 1. ;-)

When Alberta is strong, Canada is Strong.
Nearly half of BC's exports within Canada went to Alberta.

"Alberta’s strong economic base continues to be a boon to exporters in other parts of the country."

As U.S. #naturalgas production increased, the volume of U.S. natural gas exports—both thru pipelines and as liquefied natural gas (#LNG)—also increased. Total natural gas exports grew 36% in 2017, with LNG #exports nearly quadrupling. go.usa.gov/xQ2tb #natgas #energytrade
