Brian Zinchuk: Some suggestions for the Saskatchewan government to stimulate activity in the province’s oilpatch
As I noted on Sept. 28, there’s a substantial amount of concern in the oilpatch about the lack of activity despite high oil prices. As one person told me, “When oil was $40 a couple years ago I was optimistic that a price recovery would lead to increased activity in our region. Now that we’re struggling to keep a double digit rig count in SE Sask with $94 oil ($127 CAD) it’s tough to stay optimistic.”
Sovereignty act may be used to fight 2035 net-zero electricity plan: Alberta premier
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she would use her province’s sovereignty act as a last resort to challenge any attempt by the federal government to impose a net-zero electricity grid by 2035.
Smith says achieving net-zero 12 years from now is not realistic, adding that it could lead to power blackouts because Alberta wouldn’t have a reliable source of baseload power such as natural gas.
Brian Zinchuk: With oil prices now at US$94 per barrel, why is industry activity akin to when it was half that?
In the last week I’ve spoke to some of the most knowledgeable people I know in the Saskatchewan oilpatch, business owners all, from Weyburn, Lloydminster and several from Estevan. There’s a rising chorus of dissatisfaction amongst them. Things should be booming in this province’s oilpatch, but they aren’t. And this disquiet could threaten the governing Saskatchewan Party with the potential loss of a key portion of its base.
Part 2: Converting the carbon capture plant from coal to natural gas could reduce emissions, but lead to the end of coal at Estevan
Converting Boundary Dam and Shand Power Stations to natural gas could dramatically reduce CO2 emissions, especially if you factor in the existing carbon capture plant. But it would lead to the end of coal mining at Estevan.
No new oil, coal projects needed as fossil fuel demand to peak this decade: IEA
Even if no new government climate policies are introduced before 2030, global demand for fossil fuels will still peak before the end of the decade, a new report by the International Energy Agency states.

Governors, Biden administration push to quadruple efficient heating, AC units by 2030
A group of 25 state governors that make up the U.S. Climate Alliance and the Biden administration announced a pledge Thursday to quadruple the number of heat pumps in U.S. homes by 2030, from 4.7 million to 20 million.
Heat pumps use little electricity, yet are able to heat and cool buildings. Since they often replace oil or gas furnaces that add greenhouse gases to the air, they can meaningfully address climate change.
