There's a massive chasm between government policy and our energy reality by Eric Nuttall

Gina's Thoughts

It is epically frustrating that in Canada, a country blessed with some of the most abundant energy resources in the world, the majority of the population suffers from profound energy ignorance: the lack of knowledge of how hydrocarbons are used, how critical they are to our daily lives, and the realistic timeline to replace them with a “renewable” alternative." Eric Nuttall shines a light on the fact that many Canadians do not know how indispensable hydrocarbons are to our lives. If we do as he suggests and look around, we will see that virtually everything is dependent on hydrocarbons in some capacity. If everything is dependent on hydrocarbons and will be for the foreseeable future, and demand is increasing, the only thing that will shift is where the oil and gas supply comes from. If not Canada, then it will come from state-owned suppliers from such countries as Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Russia and Iran. "Every single day, the world consumes about 100 million barrels of oil." Canada should be a major supplier to meet the world's growing demand for indispensable oil and gas.
