With the direction the US is heading, you might get your wish. Soon only second-generation-American-born White Male Landowners will be allowed back in the country. Check the original US Constitution on who was an unencumbered American Citizen.

Bill S-233 was previously introduced in 2021 and reached consideration by the Senate’s Standing Committee on National Finance before Parliament was prorogued.

What struck me most about the article is that, a Bill first introduced to the Senate in 1921, and then buried, could be resurrected by the Senate acting independently of the HoC, after some 4 years had passed and a brand new government, new leader.

Here is my point. We either go gangbusters in Canada into pouring investment dollars into exploring for white hydrogen, or America is going to do it and get there ahead of us.

Koloma is an American company.

It is people like you who absolutely insist because of their dogma, in proselytizing against Canada getting ahead of the game and being front and center in white hydrogen production. 'Oh. let's not do it, let's let America get ahead, because, well, the oil and gas industry are conspiring to side track Canada's efforts for their own interests."

Always, for the anti-development proselytizers, they use the Oil and Gas conspiracy as an excuse not to do anything.

"As far as I am aware,"

Like I stated, you are just not aware of the facts, now by your own admission. You just do not know anything except your own dogmatic proselytizing. There is a facility in Mali that has been going hydrogen extraction since 2012.

No, the main geological resources of hydrogen are NOT from oil and gas. Read the links. Natural occurring geological sources of unbound hydrogen gas (not in association with oil and gas) are plentiful enough to provide our energy needs for hundreds of years, and Canada has the appropriate geology to have a substantial amount of these deposits. Also, you keep completely ignoring that the ammonia sent to Europe from the Maritime provinces is primarily from the electrolysis of water using non-fossil-fuel energy. You WANT it to be from gas and oil wells only because that is what fits your narrative, your dogma, and your proselytizing.

Okay, I understand now.

There are three versions of history, yours mine, and the facts.

And you are equating geological sources with just oil and gas? Well water comes from a 'geological source'. Are you skeptical about the claims of the benefits of well water? Are all wells just a pretense for greenwashing the oil and gas industry?

Like I said, proselytizing your dogma. Trying to distort and obfuscate so that everything falls in your dogmatic proselytizing.

I would miss not having read the hundred other books that I could have read instead, and really wanted to read

I have a really, really difficult time with alternative history, having taught the real thing.

I am not sure I could ever get through that book, so I won't even start.

I have no problem with those who bring factual considered qualified material to the table. I have a big issue with posters who bring spurious facts and points to the table just to push some dogma or other. You are anti-hydrogen just for the sake of being anti-hydrogen, without any consideration of the facts.

You are not trying to have a discussion, you are trying to proselytize. The export of hydrogen as ammonia produced by non-fossil-fuel energy input is quite clearly dominant in the future hydrogen energy strategy. You can pull up all the small tidbits you want to support your proselytizing, but be clear that is all they are, small tidbits, in the overall strategy.

They are buying from the Maritime provinces, Newfoundland in particular, and it is all from wind, solar, and water power. Particularly electrolysis of water. None of the hydrogen is coming from fossil fuels. Read my links, stop flapping off to me unless you read the links. I did not ever say anything about it coming from fossil fuels, and neither did the links.

Canada has an overabundance of very cheap non-fossil-fuel sources of energy, so we can economically convert this abundant energy to hydrogen (ammonia) and export it. Better to export our excess electricity to Europe (via ammonia) than let the ungrateful Americans have it.

No matter how clear you try to be, it will always come out murky. You are o the wrong side of the arguement.

Hydrogen might be interesting, and it may work in some instances/industries but it is very unlikely to work in others.

Makes absolutely no sense. It is like saying 'Milk will work in some recopies [that call for it] but it is unlikely to work in others [that do not use milk]." So let's stop all milk production.

You must be posting for an American audience. Americans fall for that Republi-logic.

For those unfamiliar with the chemistry, ammonia is just hydrogen and nitrogen, no carbon or oxygen at all.

The trick to transporting hydrogen is to transport it as ammonia.

"Northwestern University researchers have developed a highly effective, environmentally friendly method for converting ammonia into hydrogen. Outlined in a recent publication in the journal Joule, the new technique is a major step forward for enabling a zero-pollution, hydrogen-fueled economy.

"The idea of using ammonia as a carrier for hydrogen delivery has gained traction in recent years because ammonia is much easier to liquify than hydrogen and is therefore much easier to store and transport. Northwestern’s technological breakthrough overcomes several existing barriers to the production of clean hydrogen from ammonia."

You obviously did not read that part about Germany, Korea, Japan taking al the hydrogen we can produce.

We pump far more oil and natural gas out of the ground than Canada will EVER use in domestic consumption. Whatever do we do with all the excess?

Hah, you're right.Let's just keep destgroying our climate and environment by doing things the way we always have.

Let other nations develop the technology and become strong, while we just become weaker and weaker.

Hey, maybe that is really hat you want?

Hydrogen is not just a fuel, it is important in many chemical and manufacturing processes.

Methinks your cynicism comes from a lack of knowledge.

Or a deliberate attempt to discourage Canada from developing our hydrogen infrastructure long enough for the US to attempt to sweep it out from under us.

But that is my cynicism.

I read the article. Did you? A bad credit rating did not take the account to zero. Poor credit history did not take the account to zero. Bad debt did not take the account to zero. An accounting mistake, or inaccurate credit information did not take the account to zero. Not paying bills on time did not take the account to zero. Defaulting on a loan or credit card did not take the account to zero. A court judgement did not take the credit rating to zero.

The fact that there was NO credit transactions at all, good OR bad, in two years meant the account was deemed 'unscoreable' - not good, not bad, not horrible, but non-existent. Absolutely no reportable data to form a credit rating on, for two years.

for the status of a mega-project in Saskatchewan.

"Southern Saskatchewan is entirely covered by the pervasive and thick Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB), which directly overlies the crystalline Pre-Cambrian basement. The basement is the perceived source for naturally occurring hydrogen, especially where the basement rock has an ultramafic composition. There are a series of deep structures, including faults, allowing movement of gasses from the basement upwards into the WCSB. In addition to structures, a series of domes and arches add to the structural complexity of the WCSB. Natural Hydrogen migrates upward into certain geological formations where it can accumulate."
