The ever-delightful Sen. Paula Simons on the Keystone XL debacle.

Wind and solar require well-designed markets as they increase market share. Yeah, it's a nerdy issue but a really important one, as Dr. Robinson explains.

I interview economist Richard Masson, who agrees that if Biden cancels KXL, Canada (mostly AB) will suffer: less competitive oil sands producers, lower govt rev...enues, employment, and investment. But plenty of political upside for Biden. If Biden approves KXL, he takes a huge political hit with almost no upside, while Canada (mostly AB) enjoys all the benefits. Biden's political calculus isn't hard to understand.

As Joe Biden prepares to cancel Keystone XL permit, how foolish does Jason Kenney's 2019 decision to cancel $2 billion Partial Upgrading program look now? How much capacity would be freed up if bitumen didn't require 30% diluent to flow in a pipeline?
