They announced that they were banning it by the year 20xx.
Then they announced it was just for a certain number of things that use natural gas.
Then they realized that it's going to jack up natural gas prices by 600%. So they limited it to new builds and new zoning.
Then they realized they had no better solution than natural currently.
The whole banning hydrocarbons by a certain date is a joke.
Subsidize green energy. Encourage other development. But to say we're not using this source of energy in 4 terms after this current government is going to be in power is nothing but pandering, gaining votes, and pushing the problem down the line.
The Canadian government said they'd shut down the oil sands by 2100. That's as meaningful as the NHL saying we're looking at slashing.
There's clearly an appetite for greener energy. If it's profitable, doable, and useable on a large scale it will take off. Governments banning it years beyond their power is a big #### swinging contest that gains votes and stock gains.
