I think every developed country should be exclusively using renewable and nuclear sources for electricity. But until that happens, it better that democratic countries use Canadian based carbon energy instead of Russian, Saudi, Iranian, Qatari, etc. At least we will take some environmental precautions compared to those regimes. Coincidentally, Canada can also supply fuel for nuclear reactors.

I've always been fine with LNG exports to reduce coal dependence, where it makes sense. Not building new export oil pipelines should, in an economically perfect world reduce oil usage. It looked for a time we may be heading that way, but humanity gave up on pricing externalities, so it didn't work. I think it really could have gone either way 10 years ago. It's clear which way it has gone now, though I don't think that's anything to celebrate.
