The rest of Canada concluded long ago that the living dinosaurs who occupy the office towers of downtown Calgary are, to put it as nicely as possible, weird.
Because these non-fossilized escapees from the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller have it wrong.
Don't they know that because of climate change, fossil fuels have no future? That it's clearly a sunset industry?
Don't they understand that a massive energy transition is underway that will pass them by if they don't get with the program? That renewables can and will replace fossil fuels?
No, they don't. And it's worse than that. They believe that too many Canadians have got it wrong. That changing the world's energy mix is far more complex than political will and feeling good about doing the right thing.
Why do they think that way? You should see what they read!
They are in the energy business, not the public policy business.
So they know that, of the 95 million barrels of oil that are consumed every day, only two per cent of that is used in Canada. Of the 7.8 billion people on the planet — almost all oil consumers in some way, even if it is only plastic — 99.5 per cent live outside our country.
It is the global community, not Canadian policy, that ultimately sets the future for oil and the climate. So the oilpatch watches international data carefully and continuously. It's their job.
The result is a very different viewpoint from what the media reports and the politicians say.
