Great example of fossil asset owner trying to "flip" toward green(er) assets -- in terms of climate, renewables > biofuels, but politically, could help push fossil industry away from obstructionism. @thomasnhale @JeffDColgan nytimes.com/2024/08/27/bus…

The Trans Mountain contradiction: how can Canada lead on climate while doubling down on oil? — In the @guardian, @ClimateSolLab Director @JeffDColgan commented on Canada's proposed regulatory framework for greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas. ow.ly/NnW250SK8UC

"Losers picking government" is a much more potent challenge for industrial policy than the difficulties of picking winners. Good industrial policy requires collaborative institutions, state capacity, and independent expertise to ensure that governments are not captured.

“There is a direct tension between building the infrastructure – like a pipeline – to satisfy the profit incentives the Canadian oil and gas industry wants, and meeting Canada’s international commitments on climate change,” IBES Affiliate @JeffDColgan told @guardian ⤵️

Kudos to @SenWhitehouse and other Congressional Democrats for investigating the years of deceit and climate misinformation by Big Oil. A key reason our planet is burning is because Big Oil is stymieing climate solutions. @ClimateSolLab @ClimateSSN @TimmonsRoberts

The transition away from fossil fuels is basically so far just a transition from coal to natural gas.
