Put another way in a different context. Joe Biden's first order of business was to kill the Keystone XL pipeline for political, environmental reasons despite it being sound energy policy for the US. Fast forward a little over a year later the concerns with Russia/Ukraine and the associated costs for American's, Biden unleashed the US strategic oil reserve to help with energy costs that were at first dismissed. Poor energy policy from the Biden administration is one of the reasons why we have Psycho man in office.

You just made a bunch of stuff up because you are one of those people that doesn't believe the words people say.
What she said was, and it was very clear, her concern is if democratic voters get too upset with Trump, they'll neuter his powers at the mid terms by electing Democrats. Then, the brilliant Smith concludes, that would be bad for Alberta. Ignoring absolutely all the other awful horrible things Trump is doing that will be bad for Alberta and Canada. She ignores this because she's a huge Trump fangirl and has built her party around the same discriminatory, anti-science, anti-intellectual, Christofacist policies that are now tearing the US to pieces. To turn on Trump would be to turn on herself.
You are right about her concern being with oil, because it's bubbled up so far in her head she can't even see past it.
And to be clear, if we had KXL we'd be in an even less likely position to diversify our exports now, so bullet dodged(and I was for KXL at the time).
