I am actually pro IZ and think that IZ is obviously not the answer to all our AH goals but I think even you would concede that IZ fees like Los Altos has (upwards of $175 sq/ft) is counter productive even from the narrkwest IZ lens right?

I am the biggest Musk hater so trust me that it pains me to say that he is the reason EVs are proliferating at the pace that they are. There's nothing magical about him so he certainly isn't the only person who could have done it but he is the person who did it and kickstarted the entire revolution.

Now the question is whether this holds if/when their economy recovers. Might re-accelerate for another year or two at most is my guess. They're close if not already there.

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Japan, India and China all import Basrah heavy, they can easily take the full WCS delivery if Canada could export it at the speed it wanted to. TMX Is all that's limiting its easternward export. Try again.
