Abstract

Shrinking oil demand, coupled with governments aiming to reduce emissions across supply chains, is driving competition for lower-carbon fuels - which presents a problem for Alberta oil. SAYS YES DEBATING THE ETHICS OF ALBERTA OIL WAS perhaps an interesting intellectual exercise five years ago. The most ethical thing we can do is to supply Alberta oil to our allies as responsibly as possible - by using carbon capture and storage and other strategies to reach net zero in the coming decades, and by producing economic benefits to all Albertans along the way. McKenzie is also concerned about Alberta oil's economic outlook, citing the very bearish, and annually revised, oil demand forecasts from the IEA and bp. [Extracted from the article]
