Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada will not be shipping natural gas to Europe to address the continent’s energy crisis.
“Canada is a major oil and gas producer in the world,” said Trudeau at a Monday press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“But because of our commitment to fight climate change, we are working very, very hard to decarbonize and develop other sources of energy that we can rely on and we can share with the world.”
Trudeau said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had two impacts on the world’s energy supply.
The first impact was it made it imperative for Canada’s allies to reduce their reliance on Russian oil and gas.
The second impact was the invasion confirmed the world needs to accelerate ending its dependency on oil and gas.
Trudeau said Canada will “do what we can to contribute to the global supply of energy by increasing our capacities in the short term.”
He said Canada will need to have more conversations to determine if it would be feasible to export natural gas.
“In the middle term and long term, Canada can and will position itself to be a key supplier of energy to the world in a net zero economy,” he said.
Energy rationing started in Germany on July 8 as its energy crisis affected its hot water taps.
Canada and Germany did sign a deal for Canada to export hydrogen to the European country by 2025.
Hamburg warned its residents warm water would available at certain times of the day in an emergency, but not at other times because of natural gas shortages.
Residents in German state Saxony were told by their housing association hot showers would be restricted to 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day.
Thanks for the mention.
Give them windmills an extra BJ so they can generate enough electricity for hot showers. Will there be enough energy left to operate the many breweries?
True - dolt hates Canada the way Biden despises the US.
To be green and queer today is the epitome of righteousness.
I’m a little bit clueless on how the industry works, but I gather than you cannot export natural gas over seas, and that is has to be converted to Liquid Natural Gas to do so?
To be fair he only got 31% of the vote. Canadians vote Party over candidate, so many more may hate Trudeau but voted for the Liberals anyways.
Keep in mind too that Canadians don’t mind racism if the racist is Liberal. He got a complete pass for black face. And despite what his supporters claim he was 29, NOT a child when he did it.
Yes which is why too many have an outdated vision of Canada. Canada is an URBAN nation. More people live in cities than the USA in proportion. Take Dallas, New York city and LA and merge them into ONE city, and that is the proportion of Canada that the GTA constitutes.
They can’t vote for the candidate even if they wanted to. Its parliamentary system, the majority party either alone or in a coalition picks the PM. If we did something like that Pelosi or Schumer would be in charge
Many coal mines in the Ruhr area and Limburg were water flooded back in the 50’s when they were contemplating the creation of the BENELUX. Instead of burning hi-BTU coal, they may have to burn low-BTU peat. Imagine the smoke hanging over the EU. Greta Thunberg will have her big O.
Right....well they can get involved in the leadership process of their party, although leadership races tend to be unique to each party. Each having their own rules. Liberals tend to depend on big money liberals, while the Conservatives are more grass roots.
Trudeau can always hire American, armed and ready-to-kill, IRS agents to enforce his holy will.
The PM of Finland can park her reindeer sled in my garage any time of the day.
In Germany they are not only burning coal already, they are laying in supplies of firewood for the winter.
Actually, I read that they have at least 40 YEARS of recoverable NG reserves in the St. Lawrence Valley! Both True-dolt and Premier Legault are ‘greenies’! Legault originally was all for NG development but then changed his mind. Two idiots!
FTA: in a net zero economy
Yep that is what will happen. The net economy will be zero.
