I’m not sure what the words “largest in the world” means to you but…
I can have the largest ball of yarn in the world and it won’t make a difference to climate change. This technology literally doesn’t exist in the way people are selling it and to suggest that it will exist because “we need this tech” is absurd. The promises of AI technology are more realistic than direct air carbon capture.
Technology already exists that reduces carbon emissions and it is cheap as hell. It just doesn’t permit oil corporations to keep making money.
Trudeau instituted a 100% tarrif on Chinese EVs
You’re right, I made a mistake there.
To your larger point, this is a weird binary choice.
I don’t swe why that’s the case when the headline of the story is literally that the climate plan is too expensive. Why are we putting more money into oil if we don’t have enough money to protect the climate? If it is a matter of needing to spend that money on industry, why not spend it on diversifying the industries in Alberta and saskatchewan rather than funneling more money into a world-killing industry that employs fewer workers every year due to automation?
Like what is the actual upside for the average Canadian? Does it really make sense to be investing to expand oil revenue rather than green technology? Or honestly any other high tech industry? Instead Canada seems dead set on remaining a resource based economy.
