Chris Bloomer: Pipelines are vital for the economic recovery

Canadians rely on the energy delivered by Canada’s critical pipeline network to feed themselves, heat their homes, offices and hospitals, power our electricity system and fuel the transportation systems that deliver everything from food to pharmaceuticals.

Much is being made of the perceived need to relaunch the economy in a less carbon-intensive manner. CEPA agrees that environmental sustainability should be a priority for both Canada and the world. While pipelines account for only about one per cent of Canada’s emissions, we recognize the importance of making that number even smaller. But the idea that we can relaunch our economy without oil and natural gas ignores reality.

Canada is uniquely positioned to help displace higher-emission energy sources with our abundant, cleaner-burning natural gas. Oil and natural gas provide the building blocks for the materials used to develop renewable energy infrastructure. And electricity producers and consumers can count on natural gas as a back-up fuel for renewables and as a resilient energy supply.

Our immense natural gas resources, if converted to liquified natural gas to supply global customers, would be a powerful driver of the Canadian economy. LNG can bring thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue to Canada for decades and will help reduce the use of coal around the world.Article content continued

Export of manufactured goods are vital for the economic recovery. 'Stop putting your all your eggs into one basket' is also vital for the economic recovery. 'Wake up and smell the 21st century', because its only been 20 years, and it too would be vital for the economic recovery.

That's why PM Trudeau is building a pipeline to get Alberta's oil to BC's coast. PMJT deserves a statue in downtown Calgary for doing more than their useless premier.

No. Transition to a green economy will be vital for recovery. Millions of jobs could be created.
