Globally speaking, if you look to 2030, even with the rapid pace of development in biofuels, solar, and wind, those three sources will contribute only 2% to global energy demand in 25 years. Fossil fuels, natural gas, crude oil, and coal will still contribute about 80%, which is about what these sources contribute today.
Canadians need to be told an uncomfortable truth—we're going to be relying on traditional sources of energy for a long time to come. All forms of energy are going to be contributing to the solution, but the oil and gas sector is going to be a major contributor to Canada's energy supply for many decades to come.
