You can’t make LNG exports a nation-building project when no other nation will want you to build it. Good thing there’s a wider menu of lower-carbon options for PM Mark Carney to tap into.
I’m having issues with Substack so please forgive me if you get duplicates of this reply.
Thank you so much! I subscribed to EnergyMix only a few days ago, and now see what I’ve been missing. I have written several reporters about this and almost all have offered thanks, as they were unaware of the ruling. This ruling, and the one by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights as well, a few days previously, give me hope that we can might actually be able to cushion some of the climate effects the children and upcoming generations in our families will be experiencing on a day-to-day basis.
I am deeply grateful that the Energy Mix is covering this topic and I hope to see it referred to again and again in any article articles on the oil and gas sector. As the public, we need to know and be able to connect the dots of various silos. I will be forwarding these articles to reporters who aren’t there yet. 🌲🙏🏼🌳
Living off-grid and enjoying the benefits of being able cook on an induction hot plate at 300 watts. I see magnetic cooling is coming out of Germany. Maybe the feds could invest in research and development of cooling manufacturing based on magnets. Apparently Chinese magnets are used by the Germans. I'm still waiting for an affordable Chinese EV with V2L to charge my batteries November to January!
I appreciated this article - just read in the Weekender. So many perspectives considered helps with the big picture. One perspective, the July 25th unanimous, advisory ruling by the IJC, wasn’t included. It may be too early to have sorted through the potential effects of this ruling but I’m thinking that some of the 130 nations that supported it, will have Canada in their lawsuit sights, looking for reparations as we promote oil/gas knowing this damages the climate-now a global crime awaiting prosecution. Will stay tuned.
I should have but did not think to include it in this post because the solutions section focused mainly on better actions the Carney government could take. But you're absolutely right that future legal liability is a risk they should be factoring in, just as surely as the climate-busting impacts of methane. (Actually...it isn't impossible to think that that added methane pollution might trigger some of the future legal action.)

That's such a good point, thanks. We did cover the ICJ ruling in some depth:
