Alberta, Canada are a global leader in the emerging advanced materials industry, but could be eclipsed by USA and China without more investment and policy support.

"Grievances" with Ottawa don't explain why a quarter of Albertans support secession.
Does that make AB especially vulnerable to political interference by Trump and MAGA?

But a tsunami of new supply arriving between now and 2030 is a huge damper on his ambitions.
BC's Ksi Lisims project is the only one Mike Fulwood thinks has a chance.

Bitumen could be used as the feedstock to make Galvorn ($7 million per kg to NASA).
And carbon fibre, asphalt binder, and graphene.

As I've noted, AB CEOs share OPEC, Shell, and ExxonMobil's vision for O&G's future.
So do Danielle Smith, Brian Jean, Mark Carney, Dave Eby, and Arian Dix.
What if they're wrong? Spoiler alert: they are.

AB doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation.
It needs better politicians than Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney.

@MarkJCarney says Canadian LNG grows 500% by 2035.
Mike Fulwood says probably only Ksi Lisims gets built, a small % of that.
Who's right? My $$ is on Mike.

2026 to 2030 LNG supply will grow by 50%.
There aren't enough customers. Prices will plunge. Investment will be delayed or cancelled.
Sorry, @mark-carney.bsky.social, Dave Eby, Danielle Smith, the LNG party is cancelled.

You should. Export markets like China and the EU are beefing up their carbon markets and regulations.
Alberta's system doesn't work. I'm skeptical @abdaniellesmith is committed to fixing it.

Separatists like Jeff Rath, Cam Davies et al are not Albertans. Certainly not Canadians.
They are Americans who happen to live in Alberta.
Send them home. There's the border, folks.

@ABDanielleSmith sabotaged TIER (AB industrial carbon pricing). Now it doesn't work.
Will @MarkJCarney force her to make it work? Will he provide enough oversight?
I'm dubious.

Yeah, the end of incentives hurt. But the tech is now cheap.
Deep Patel says his company lowers soft costs (eg permitting) enough that residential solar is competitive in many states.
