Kanada war in der Ölkrise 1979 bereit, Gas zu rationieren. Könnte es sein, dass wir wieder einmal mit Abgasen unterwegs sind? | CBC-Nachrichten

FFS: had our leaders actually planned for rainy days we could be self sufficient on the energy front. Instead they virtue signalled and literally turned away potential customers who could boost our economy.

i’ld be happy to give you a ride in one of my 2 evs while you ration gas

Bangladesh is on 4 day work week to save fuel. Of course that could never happen in Canada. Or reinstating Wfh if possible.

The biggest problem for Canada in this probably won’t be actual shortages unless the USA bans exports then the east is pretty fucked.What it could do is drive the cost into the stratosphere.

What actually boggles my mind is the seeming lack of concern in some European countries and Australia .

One thing if it drags much longer is people are going to get a good look at what decarbonization actually looks like

In the west our gas is made in Edmonton

The in east they buy it from America

You’re saying we had 47 years to learn the lesson about dependency on fossil fuels and chose instead to subsidize oil and gas and double down on it? Yeah, sounds about right. A country that’s still debating whether to electrify trains in, checks date…2nd quarter of the 21st century

I’d rather have a 4 day work week to do my part.

Be kinda cool if all the people who could work from home did. Wonder how much gas that’d save? Jesus christ.

Serious question: will this actually spur Canada to finally enact an east-west pipeline? Like we are at the proverbial ‘gun at the head’ moment, where eastern Canada could actually run out fuel, while western Canada sits in a sea of fuel.

And before you all @ me. I’m all for EVs, but EVs having been going to make gas vehicles obsolete for the last 40+years… let’s live in the here and now. Fossils fuel are still going to make up a large part of the energy mix for the foreseeable future. And it’s shocking mismanagement that a top 5 energy producer, is seeing half the country possibly run out of fuel and is dependant on imported fuel from another country (even if it’s Canadian fuel from the US, still a security concern… like right now).

>One, if there’s a physical oil shortage in Canada — which a region like Central Canada may be more vulnerable to given a lack of an east-west pipeline — there would be a need to ration, he said.

It is an ongoing embarrassment that this country allows lobby groups and ideologues to prevent the creation of a robust internal energy system. We are sitting on one of the largest oil reserves on the planet and yet, because of their actions, Central Canada could run out of oil and gasoline or face beyond the pale gasoline prices.

Alberta refines its own gasoline from our own oil, we aren’t going to run out. The only reason the rest of Canada can’t benefit from that is because lobby groups spent millions of dollars convincing people that pipelines are evil.

No, Canada is self-sufficient in oil, we are net exporters. What we need to do, is build a pipeline to Eastern Canada (Quebec and the Atlantic provinces). They might run out of oil, which will teach them.

We’re somewhere in the top 5 for oil exports. We shouldn’t have to ratio at all. A massive failure in successive governments to ensure the Canada is self sufficient in times of crisis.
