This will be news when they’ve actually done it, and haven’t replaced it with the same thing under a different name.

"Instead of subsidies, we've negotiated to buy small quantities of fossil-fuels from producers for $1 billion / litre."

The word "unabated" seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting in the announcement.

They've got decades of trending to show the lack of abatement.

Good, as somebody who lives in Alberta, the sooner the oil industry is dead and gone from this province the better.

seems like it will continue to be slow-rolled. The Conservatives will promise to do both the same, and the opposite.

I don't want to imagine the Harper-like hellscape for non-rich, non-male, non-albertan, non-corporation non-supporters.

Good. Now do the same with EV/Solar/Wind subsidies

Why would they do that when the goal is to expand those things?
theacharnian@lemmy.ca · 15 pts · 3y
Why? Are they threatening the world's climate too?

Nah. Just irrelevant in the next-fiscal scope of the current ephemeral Con leader's buddies' thinking, and therefore valueless, thus expendable.
