That doesn't mean we shouldn't stop exporting our own resources until then, but we absolutely should be using the profits from those to invest in our green tech sector so that we are ready for green energy independence when the time comes.
What is absolute nonsense is making it easier for private corporations to pocket the excess profit from our resources.

Agreed! I see no reason why renewables should not be continually invested in and we should be leaders in R&D to that effect. Hate the UCP’s approach to renewables/ solar just makes no sense at all. And Canada should be an energy leader not just an oil and gas leader (but, that too).
