Natural gas power generation with carbon capture likely allowed post-2035, says federal natural resources minister

Jim Warren: 2010 was the inflection point, with social media bringing woke culture and zealous environmentalism to the fore

Editorial: Facebook and Instagram to start blocking Pipeline Online links on Sunday. This is 1979, on the way to Orwell’s 1984
I will be attending federal Minister of Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s event with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce in Regina on June 28. He will be talking about the “just transition,” which means to do away with the oil and gas sector, one of Saskatchewan’s most important industries. But you won’t be able to share any of my stories coming from that event on Facebook, or Instagram. I don’t even know if you can privately share it on Facebook Messenger. Likely not. So a federal minister might be speaking about the demise of your industry and livelihood, and you can’t share or even read those stories through Facebook. There’s a wee possibility that “just transitioning” your job out of existence might upset you. But that story will be verboten on Facebook. As will every other story.

Bloc Québécois pan “just transition” report for sanitizing that term from French version, and not going far enough
The Bloc Québécois is aware that the term “Just Transition” is a young concept that leaves room for multiple interpretations. Among others, it is rejected by the current
Alberta government and the Western oil and gas industry. In its current form, the final report reflects the Committee’s failure to address “Just Transition”, and aligns itself with
the West’s position. During its work, the Committee heard members deny even the reality of climate change, thus diluting the concept of energy transition. The treatment of other
concepts such as “ruralities”, “aboriginal communities” and “energy security” also occupied a disproportionate proportion of the exchanges, deviating from the very objective of the study.

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.
Canada’s oil output would plummet by 2050 in a net-zero world, new modelling shows
New modelling from the Canada Energy Regulator suggests Canadian oil production will plummet by 2050 — and large portions of Alberta’s oilsands facilities will be shut down — if the world is successful in reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within that time.
