NO Case for Shipping LNG to Europe PLUS Stay Frosty vs. Dangerous Declinism
The Environment in Canada Podcast episode 68 on why proposed LNG exports to Europe and Germany from Canada are not economically viable. You can listen to the episode on The Harbinger Media Network, IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or our website here.
There’s still no business case for Canada shipping LNG to Europe/Germany and the rise of artificial intelligence doesn’t change that fact. Plus a quick rant about the dangers of declinism, framing, and why staying optimistic is vital: historical moments of ‘decline’ are also periods with the opportunity for fundamental change to happen in a positive way – if that opportunity is seized a ‘boomerang’ effect can occur.
Political Leaders Follow the Wind, YOU Can Determine it’s Direction
Don’t allow the narrative to control you, shape the narrative yourself in every place and situation that you can. Political leaders are useful only as part of the equation: engage with them but never trust their framing of themselves as saviours. Democracy isn’t supposed to be about saviours – people are meant to have the power.
