Episode notes
Pipeline Deal Links Oilsands To Carbon Capture
- Mark Carney and Danielle Smith signed an MOU prioritizing a West Coast bitumen pipeline paired with a major carbon-capture plan.
- The deal swaps federal limits for incentives, aiming to move oil to Asia while lifting some federal regulations temporarily.
Require Private Funding, Expect Skepticism
- Encourage private financing because the MOU forbids direct taxpayer funding and expects private proponents to step up.
- Expect proponents to demand strong risk controls given past cost overruns like Trans Mountain.
Carbon Pricing And CCUS Are The Tradeoff
- The MOU ties pipeline approval to boosting Alberta's industrial carbon price and building Pathways Plus, a massive CCUS project.
- Ottawa trades a federal emissions cap and some regulations for commitments to carbon capture and Indigenous profit-sharing.
