Premier Danielle Smith's Oil Pipeline Obsession Is RISKY for Canadians! w/ Markham Hislop of @EnergiMedia
Description
PM Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have put the pipeline debate back on the table, in a bid to show the world that “Canada can build things again”. Is a new pipeline the solution, or is the risk of an uncertain global energy future too high a cost? In this highly informative episode, Bill interviews esteemed energy journalist Markham Hislop of Energi Media and Thoughtful Energy Takes delving into the complex and contentious topic of pipelines in Canada.
They explore the historical and political dynamics of the modern global energy landscape, particularly in light of the war in Ukraine, as well as the future of oil and gas consumption, China’s rapid energy transition, and the challenges facing North America’s energy strategy.
