Exclusive: Alberta wants Ottawa to commit to $30b to spur construction of large-scale industrial carbon capture projects - key to blue hydrogen and helping lower emissions in the oil sector. By ⁦@KellyCryderman⁩ and me. #cdnpoli #ableg #cdnecon theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Aside from ⬇️ emissions, Nat Resources Minister O’Regan told CERAWeek CCUS is key for jobs for workers moving from oil & gas. “We think that lowering emissions by having them work on CCUS projects is going to be really important.” #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
The IEA also says carbon capture will be key to energy transition/lower emissions, and costs have fallen significantly. Bonus! Here’s a pic I took of Lindsey Graham visiting the Boundary Dam CCS plant in SK in 2015 as part of a bipartisan US group. #ableg #cdnpoli #skpoli
The IEA specifically points to Boundary Dam carbon capture plant as pricier than current projects. Sections had to be rebuilt coz it didn’t capture the amount of CO2 it was supposed to. Quite the #skpoli kerfuffle at the time. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon

Australia a police state?!? Scott Moe tried a line like this today as well, to which I say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nah. Life is basically back to normal and everyone’s at restaurants and bars and hanging out with friends and family. #ableg #skpoli
In fact I just got off the phone with my 91-yr-old grandmother (in remission from breast cancer) and she had to go because he ride was there TO GO TO THE DAMN GROCERY STORE. Sure. Yeah. Absolutely terrible job they’ve done, so that my grandma can go out shopping 🙄 #ableg #skpoli
The thing my grandma is most upset about with covid is she feels bad she might have not socially distanced properly every time she asked people to pat their dogs. She’s 91, “if I’d known I was going to live this long when my last dog died, I would’ve got another one.” #ableg

There seems to be some discussion on the #ableg feed today around Aussie-style covid lockdowns. I don't have an opinion, but here are Facebook pics from friends in three states back home (nsw, qld, vic), all taken in the last month. It's *wild* how normal this is on my feed. Image
Most are also planning family Christmas gatherings, a friend is sad b/c her daughters are off to an island for a week for a Brownie camp. Also this happened in my home city mid-November. Fun fact! I used to work at this stadium. theguardian.com/sport/2020/nov…
Oh hey and Western Australia is opening up now too. abc.net.au/news/2020-12-0…

Having a bit of a cross-country tour today... from NL this morning where feds gave offshore O&G $320m back to AB this afternoon, where Minister Nixon is set to announce new methane emissions reduction programs funded by TIER (that's the carbon tax on large emitters). #ableg
... which also means I'm back listening to Vivaldi, the #ableg call-in hold music.
OK! Nixon is at Total Combustion Inc. to announce some new methane reduction programs. He says the gvt has a long history of partnering with the energy industry. #ableg

Minister O'Regan just announced $320m for the NL offshore oil sector... it'll go to maintenance and upgrades, R&D, environmental services and clean tech. That's in addition to the $75m for emissions reduction months ago. #cdnpoli #oilandgas #nlpoli
O'Regan says his government has "unrelenting support" for the offshore sector. This will help workers and support jobs, he says #cdnpoli #oilandgas #nlpoli
O'Regan also gives a shoutout to the NL government for pledging net-zero emissions. #cdnpoli #nlpoli #oilandgas

Kenney responding to Throne Speech. He says the energy sector pulled Canada through the financial crisis and it was thanks to Alberta's "generous transfers" that the nation remained strong. "Yet Alberta was not recognized in yesterday's throne speech," he says #cdnpoli #ableg
"It's not just about oil and gas," Kenney says, but all natural resource sectors, adds "go back to the drawing board on Bill c-69" (he likes to call the "no more pipelines law".) Also slams environmental reviews of 3 mines in AB. B/g: theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli
Kenney's message thus far, basically: Ottawa is the worst and they don't thank Alberta for anything we do EVER and they're trying to destroy us and drive investment to other countries. #ableg #cdnpoli
