I honestly think Carney missed the mark here. We just finished the twinning of Trans Mountain and are now selling that shit over to Asia with little issue. The same Asia that is pushing HARD to move to renewables, a dwindling market. What we should have done is built some new refineries to prop up our domestic gasoline supply and move away from shipping crude to the US to be refined and sent back to us at a premium. He should be building a nuclear backbone and pushing for domestic battery, Solar and EV production. We want future proofing and alignment on reducing climate change impacts while making our energy and transportation as resilient as possible. Complete these "nation building projects" rather than exporting MORE unrefined natural resources.

Soapstone batteries too. They're dirt cheap to build and operate (nichrome + soapstone sand in a big dumb insulated tank) and can provide heating for industry or district heating/cooling for cities or towns while acting as peak shavers for overproductive renewables.
