Renewables are closing in for the kill. Carbon pricing is approaching from the other flank. The Attorney General of New York is investigating them for misleading shareholders and investors on the real value of their booked energy reserves. Talk abounds of "stranded assets" and, when it does, high carbon fossil fuels such as bitumen are squarely in the gun sights. <br /><br />That leaves Big Oil facing a tough rearguard fight. Investing the massive capital to build refineries in Alberta capable of processing 300,000 barrels of bitumen daily isn't particularly attractive given all the downside risks.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-79100021909155506912016-01-25T12:38:29.386-08:002016-01-25T12:38:29.386-08:00The energy east problem could be easily solved by ...The energy east problem could be easily solved by Alberta. Just build an upgrader and refinery in Alberta with Albertan money. Alberta could have cleaner oil to ship and keep the filth out of Quebec and New Brunswick. Too bad there's not enough money, imagination or ambition in the oil patch.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-57410870508621007012016-01-25T11:09:36.895-08:002016-01-25T11:09:36.895-08:00Non Canadians some of them American own 30% of Tra...Non Canadians some of them American own 30% of TransCanada.

Of course, Trump thinks the revenues from these pipelines line Canadian pockets.
