Whenever I read the posts after the latest pipeline denial, I can't help but think that energy companies just aren't listening to their customers. Years ago I did 13yrs in the patch as a petroleum engineer, so I get that the world needs fossil fuels right now, but no one likes being told they have no other option. That's a dangerous proposition for any company to make to their end users, be it Visa/Mastercard or O&G.
Well that’s what Canadians want, right? They obviously want oil and gas to fail, so it will. It really is as simple as that.

I’ll tell you though, there has never been a stronger case of “careful what you wish for” than this in Canadian history. I like a financial systems ability to adapt to changing environments and society demands a whole hell of a lot more than any energy complexes ability to. People are just so insanely ignorant of energy and its use it is shocking. But continue to hypothesize on that device you are using that is made from oil and gas, within a home heated or cooled by oil and gas, wearing clothes that are oil and gas, eating food made possible from oil and gas, using plastics and thousands of other materials from oil and gas in day to day life about how oil and gas is overrated.

Do people really think other people aren’t working on energy? Do people really not think if it could be done or would be done it wouldn’t be done already? We’ll need breakthroughs and those will take decades, not a handful of months or years. In the meantime, we’ll be poorer and have a significantly worse society. Yay for ignorance!
