Premier Christy Clark, the Bank of England and Antarctica all share deep concerns about frozen assets.
Clark’s LNG frozen assets are waiting patiently backstage to enter as the sparkly-toothed hero with the sly and cunning plan to cure B.C.’s fiscal leakage problems forever.
The governor of the Bank of England has developed a nervous tick that reacts every time the price of oil drops and climate concerns multiply. Governor Carney is now weighing the possibility of investors’ billions stranded or frozen because fossil fuels have to stay in the ground to avoid catastrophic planetary consequences. And as any one that has an operating brain stem knows, our frozen poles are slowly disappearing as the planet warms.
The clean energy transition is our future, yet B.C. sits firmly entrenched in the 19th century. Our main-stage politicians are without the vision or courage to confront the inevitable transition. It is up to us.
