That, and I'm not really sure we have this proven success story to tell yet.

I don't have a problem with it - there's a lot of things I think the UCP and Brian Jean are out to lunch on, but carbon storage is an area that we should be pursuing given the province's geology* and technical/engineering skillset that's available in the workforce.
*I am not a geologist.
What I think is absurd though, is that on one hand they're arguing to pushing back timelines on renewables and investments towards net zero (in part because they argue that the technology isn't there yet), and on the other advocating for investment and how we're the greatest. Can't have it both ways.
