A new pipeline has no place as a project of national interest when clean energy is increasingly outcompeting fossil fuels in the global economy.

Reducing emissions intensity at the point of extraction also does nothing to address the majority of emissions that are released from burning fossil fuels.
Today’s agreement ultimately ties emissions reductions to more pollution.

By not implementing the oil and gas emissions cap, Canada is taking down the guardrails for its most polluting industry.
Commitments to strengthen industrial carbon pricing are necessary but, in the context of increased fossil fuel production, insufficient to manage oil & gas sector emissions.

The agreement's carbon capture & storage requirements won’t bring the pipeline in line with Canada’s climate goals.
Tying the Pathways project to a new pipeline means any emissions reductions achieved with #CCS will be offset by increased oilsands production.

Why Carbon Capture and Storage Is Not a Net-Zero Solution for Canada’s Oil and Gas Sector
Canada's oil and gas sector regards carbon capture as the primary solution for lowering its emissions—but a careful analysis of the evidence reveals major risks in relying on and funding this technolo...

TMX has already cost taxpayers an estimated CAD 37.5bn coming online years late & over budget.
➕Because the tolls do not cover those costs, Canadians are still on the hook for subsidies that could reach up to CAD 18.8bn over the life of the project.

According to @iea.org, oil demand could begin a permanent decline in the next 5 years.
Expansion brings economic risks —& with no private companies yet willing to back the project, new pipelines would likely require large public subsidies to proceed.
