1/ Alberta has tremendous potential to make low-cost, low-emission hydrogen from natural gas.
Blue hydrogen, it's called.
From. Natural. Gas.

2/Several Alberta companies - Summit Nanotech, E3 Metals - have developed technology to strip lithium from oil/gas produced water/briney water.
Summit's brilliant CEO, Amanda Hall, is a geophysicist who quit her job at CNRL to found her startup.

3/Alberta is a Canadian leader in carbon capture and sequestration. Old oil/gas reservoirs are perfect for long-term storage, according to my friend @MagHanna
Speaking of CCS, there's the Shell Canada Quest project.

4/Research is being done on using old oil/gas wellsites, perhaps even old wells, for geothermal production.
Not a story I've reported on much, so I'll leave this one to @JuliRohl.

5/Suncor is replacing its oil sands haulers with autonomous electric units. Should be 450 to 550 of them in operation by mid-2020s. Other oil sands mining operations are expected to follow suit.
Might not Tesla sexy, but EVs will play a big role in Alberta oil/gas, IMO.

6/So, the evidence backs up @SeamusORegan's tweet. It's not inaccurate at all.
Then why is it controversial?
Because the braying of the hyper-partisans is about managing the Kenney/CAPP political narrative.
