If only there was a sparsely populated area, with cold temperatures, and direct access to an immense amount of natural gas, with a strong rule of law, highly educated population, with a strong contingent of the world’s best engineers, who know how to build out immense energy infrastructure projects. Imagine a place that no longer has to abide by CER (clean electricity regulation), like the rest of its country.
Tomorrow’s announcement of an MOU between Berta and the pale ghosts of the Laurentian valley isn’t about a pipe to the coast. It’s about cheap land, cold temperatures, one of the world’s largest reserves of energy, and the carve out of CER that has kept 100 billion dollars out of the province of Alberta.
