Dissenting report from Conservatives wants to expand oil and gas, not transition it away

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources Committee report released its “just transition” report on June 19. Entitled “Creating a Fair and Equitable Energy Transformation,” the report means to change Canada in almost every manner imaginable, from powering vehicles and heating homes, to largely winding down one of our nation’s largest industries – oil and gas.

Both the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois released dissenting reports, while the Liberals and New Democrats supported the primary report. This is the Conservative response.

The “just transition” report is nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada

Entitled “Creating a Fair and Equitable Energy Transformation,” the report outlines nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada, its economy and workforce, by way of transitioning away from fossil fuels to a largely electric economy, with the possibility of hydrogen usage as well. In doing so it means to largely do away with the fossil fuel industry which is one of Canada’s largest industries and contributors to GDP, exports and wealth. The report provides recommendations as to what to do with the people involved in that industry, but not so much the companies who employ them, create those jobs or that wealth.

Flooding shuts down major coal power station, leaving SaskPower scrambling to backfill its output and shed load internally

Heavy rains in the Coronach area Friday night have resulted in the shutdown of the coal-fired Poplar River Power Station, just when high temperatures are putting pressure on SaskPower’s grid to keep everyone’s air conditioning running. The result is a 582 megawatt coal-fired power station went offline, and SaskPower is scrambling to meet demand. One of the things it is doing is internal “load shedding,” reducing power consumption where it can, so that other customers have the power they need.

Cenovus CEO: Without cheap, abundant, affordable energy, life is brutal. Life is short

“I’m really optimistic about this is oil and gas industry really, for two reasons. One is, I think Premier Moe mentioned this, is that without cheap, abundant, affordable energy, life is brutal. Life is short. You know, there’s one thing that First World nations all have in common: they have cheap, reliable, abundant energy. And today, hydrocarbons make up just over 80 per cent of that energy mix.” – Cenovus’s new CEO Jon McKenzie.
