In Canada, if you study what Carney has been doing about new pipelines in Alberta is signing MOUs aka memorandums of understanding to build a new pipeline, subject to certain restrictions.
One of those restrictions is to “de-carbonize” the oil before it’s shipped out thru a pipeline, a process not used anywhere else in the world, the reason it’s not done is the technology is sketchy at best and even if the process works, it will make the oil more expensive and uncompetitive on the open market, which results in the pipeline never getting built.
All the general public will hear in Canada is Carney talking about all the new pipelines they are going to build in, which will make Canada an energy superpower.
Here is an article about the decarbonization of oil.
