If you want my opinion, Alberta needs to tap more into natural gas as a cheap energy source. The world is looking for cheap clean energy. I've actually been in the works helping a few buddies start up a company doing exactly this. Although we are mostly selling our cheap energy to crypto mining (in negotiations with cannabis to) it's really an area that hasn't been tapped into. We're finishing up the last few days of raising fund and should be public on the venture before the year is out. DM me more info. i May have some folks to introduce you too. Perhaps a few thousand gas wells too, and a crypto farm powered by Nat gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Back in the 1980's during the first oil boom in Alberta. Where did all that government revenue go? Why didn't they put it into diversification? History repeating. If they were smart they'd not only build wind farms. But work on building solar panels, wind turbines. Maybe developing better electric motors. You know diversifying the economy so that you don't rely on one thing. Something BC needs to really be doing. Stop relying on natural resources. And manage your renewable resources like fishing, and forestry a lot better. Maybe get into tidal power since the ocean is right next door?

Lancaster Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yet at the same time, large investors like Warren Buffett and Bill Gate have invested billions into CP and CN rail. Some of the biggest drivers of growth for both stocks has been the increasing use of rail as a method of transport for oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're finishing up the last few days of raising fund and should be public on the venture before the year is out. I took my wood stove out and replaced it with a natural gas stove. The carbon tax on my natural gas is as much as the gas cost itself. Go figure. Governments tell us that the carbon tax is revenue neutral to the homeowner. Anyone ever got a cheque?

Thousands of jobs in the industry have left Canada to go to Texas, ever since Trudeau got re-elected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am getting what you mean though, you want to punish the cities that oppose oil and gas, yet at the same time depend on the industry somewhat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
