Canada’s Climate Plan: Fossil First or Climate First? – Below 2C
Carbon pricing won’t achieve its emission targets, Moore and
Robertson state. And the introduction of complicated rules about
emission intensity rather than emissions reductions along with complex
carbon credits and offsets make it possible for big emitters to “game
the system.”
Robertson state. And the introduction of complicated rules about

The Liberals are also relying on “future-tense” technologies,
including their national strategy to become a natural-gas (rather than
green) hydrogen superpower, with its accompanying need to spend public
money to capture, transport, and safely store millions of tonnes of
carbon underground.
Then, incredibly, there’s nuclear. The Liberals have a small modular
reactor (SMR) action plan. They seem to have forgotten safety concerns
and long-term, radioactive-waste storage problems. Again, write Moore
and Robertson, the government will use our tax dollars to fund a
questionable technology.
