That is not what I am saying. I understand the basis for your mandate, but, if the objective of your mandate is to reduce GHG production, your only goal cannot simply be to decarbonize petroleum. There would be no logic to that. I see an overriding principle, and I would like to hear what you have to say about it.
An overriding principle in ecology is “polluter pays” not “polluter paid”. What you are proposing implies that new clean-energy technologies will take longer to arrive because all the government's resources are going to be invested in decarbonizing petroleum. I cannot see the logic in that.
I understand from your answer that this is not part of your mandate. Am I putting words in your mouth or is that more or less what you wanted to say?
