You know, like it feels virtuous to like pick these like

you know, ESG or whatever, when like, we don't have like other problems that we are facing that we ought to be solving.

And so I think that they were, they certainly did that with like those things.

But now we have like, I think other things like, you know, you have trade war, you have oil price shocks, you have real things that are making it challenging for Canadians to be able to afford to live and all these other things.

that's where we're at, then we should face those problems and using the energy that is necessary to accomplish those goals is going to be the prudent strategy.

So, I mean, like look at data centers.

I think we pulled this up

in one of the last episodes, but I'll pull up this article from The Logic.

But, you know, they... Like, most of the data centers in Canada are... Or most of the data center growth in Canada is in Alberta, right?

And a lot of that's because they're basically flaring natural gas and it's, like, the cheapest place that they can generate electricity to, you know, to power these things.

This is, like...

It's a good thing because we're getting access, exposure to one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

But it's a bad thing from the ESG lens of policymakers who otherwise wanted a different outcome.

I think it's going to be a necessary evil.

And it's just sort of a joke when you compare it to like it's a drop in the bucket when we're talking about how we admire the economic progress of China and all of these things.

It's like, well, who consumes the most coal energy out of literally the next 10 on the list combined, right?

So it's sort of like, it doesn't, doesn't matter what Canada, I think what Canada can do is like protect our forest so that we, you know, can, can absorb as much carbon as possible.

If that, like that, that to me is, is just as meaningful as, uh, as trying to consume less of it.

Did you see all the tweets on Texas being like the leader in renewable energy right now?
