It’s one thing for the GoA to create a ‘Mature Asset’ program for taxpayers to clean up oil and gas Cos abandoned wells. It’s quite another to chart where the $ is coming from. Given royalty revenue$ will decrease over the next decade, and Industry isn’t funding its liabilities, guard your wallets!

Energy Tech That Has Us (and You) Talking

Wonderful clip in the recent episode of @energyvsclimate.bsky.social podcast, where @shastingssimon.bsky.social describes how e-bikes are already displacing significant amounts of oil! With so many car trips being easy distances on an e-bike, much more oil *could* be replaced:

The last time Alberta proposed to subsidize O&G’s closure liabilities, ScotiaBank warned that it flew in the face of “the core capitalist principle that private cos shld take full responsibility for the liabilities they willingly accept”.

Indeed. Yet it’s the same in O&G jurisdictions everywhere.🤔

Totally agree! E-Bikes are game changers. My favourite part is that they're not just for urban centres, but rural folks too. I've met people lauding them for helping get around their farm and into towns while saving gas.

Helpful modelling from @pembina.org here. Canada and Alberta should both be transparently doing same and then relating it to comprehensive emission reduction plans and scenarios that demonstrate achieving climate commitments (or not). Present “grand bargain” discourse needs to be contextualized.

This was a fun @energyvsclimate.bsky.social to record, I hope its as fun to watch/listen. A bit different, we cover a bunch of new(ish) energy tech with our hot takes, and end on an important note that part of being an expert is admitting when you just dont know.

I forgot to mention my favourite book ever, my first energy textbook.
It definitely influenced small Sara’s understanding and interest in energy

I don’t want to oversell this because tech does come into play but I think there is a clear physics reason behind solars dominance once you get the tech more or less figured out.
It’s because it’s (mostly) all solar power so using it directly avoids the loss in transitions.

Spoiler (but not really because its obvious I was going to talk about it), I'm preparing my notes for this and getting excited about the ebike tech I'm covering as one of my choices.

Join us tomorrow to hear what Ed and David think about it or subscribe so you catch it on the podcast.
