Abstract:
While the world is looking to reduce GHG emissions, Canada’s prairie provinces are facing an economic crisis as access to markets and global conditions in the hydrocarbon industry change. These two factors mean the geopolitics of the transformation will have a profound impact on Canada. As energy becomes more decentralized and diffused, countries like ours need to look to other alternatives to reduce our GHG emissions. There is no better fit for Canada than an energy alternative that builds on our previously developed prowess in drilling and fluid extraction from the deep subsurface. This is the moment to support these industries in the transformational changes that are occurring globally.
