Should ideology be allowed to rule over facts ?
The world currently runs on fossil fuels. Alternative energy sources are nowhere near capable of replacing fossil fuels.  What to do ?

Well, we are already doing it. We are slowly and surely transitioning towards a renewable energy world, but our consumption of fossil fuels continues to increase because it is the most viable source of energy. As the technology of renewables continues its march of progress we will one day reach the point where the consumption of fossil fuels are actually in decline (not there yet).

Trying to rush/push this conversion of energy on society before the technology is capable of adequately providing it is nonsense! It only creates huge additional costs for no gain at all.

The Trans Mountain pipeline is needed to provide the world with the energy source that it currently needs to survive !
