In terms of the graphic.... it's also boiling down a global problem to a local scale, which makes it funny.

There are more countries in the world panicking about low birth rates than there is the opposite.

Most researchers have the population peaking in around 50 years and then declining. A bunch have also said that's optimistic with birth rates that are trending down already. Either way we're only a couple of generations away from rapid population decline.
Back on topic, we already lost the energy race. We lost when we let the world decide we didn't need to compete in the global market. Canada had to be the ones to worry about the environment and take the global warming backlash while OPEC+ and the US ran drills and pipelines non-stop. I hope someone made some money off the "social credit" we were earning because it sure as #### wasn't Canadians.
We can't even get carbon capture built. Shouldn't our carbon tax dollars be going towards these projects or this innovation everyone keeps talking about? Pathways Alliance CCUS would be a good start. Maybe get that project going then talk to me about the innovation and technology the industry should be using.
