TMX’s C$3B/Year Oil & Gas Subsidy Lesson: Design Energy Corridor For Electrons Not Oil
Canada is once again flirting with the idea of an east-west energy corridor. The vision sounds big and bold: a designated path across the country to carry everything from crude oil to natural gas, hydrogen to electricity. In this rapid, Trump-inflected election cycle, political leaders are lining up behind the … [continued]
