potentially more than a decade until small modular reactors are ready for widespread use, meanwhile continuing to pollute (especially in Alberta and Sask where there aren't meaningful plans to even do tests). When's the country-wide heat pump/electric heater mandate coming? Is Carney going to do...

For sure it's going to take time but moving forward is the only way to go, we need smart people who can get things going instead of complaining and holding back,where it's evident that Daniel Smith, the oil industry...

There's research that oil can be turned into carbon fiber.

I think Carney's relationship with the EU and other countries is going to be hopeful.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊

that? Probably not. So if the plan is simply to wait until there are technologies that are clean and are also cheaper than the old ones, that still means that Canada will fail all of the the reasonable targets it agreed to with the international community. And that's the standard to hold ourselves

although I sort of misspoke on "cheaper than the old ones" because we don't even do the things that are cheaper than the old ones like trains, plant-based diets, rooftop solar, heat pumps in most places, etc.

Also on the original topic, what are new technologies going to do about Canada's oil exports? We need to export less oil, period. This just seems like obfuscating the issue
