Big Oil Forecast: Entering the Age of Stranded Assets
For years, environmentalists have warned that due to climate change, there will be billions of barrels of oil that we will never be able to burn.
These reserves will become what has increasingly been called “stranded assets.”
To give you one example: In a new report, Friends of the Earth argued that “The coal, oil and gas in reserves already in production and development globally is more than we can afford to burn.
There is no room for any new coal, oil or gas exploration and production.
As Reuters pointed out last week, “Investors may be entering the age of ‘stranded assets,’ and it very likely could be driven as much by technological change as by climate change.”
But still belligerently people invest in fossil fuels, with devastating results.
Again, to give you one example: Early Tuesday, Mark Campanale from Carbon Tracker tweeted: “Up to 240 gas and 150 coal fired power stations in Europe could be ‘stranded assets’ says European Env Agency by 2030.”
The same theme was touched upon by Tim Gray, executive director of Environmental Defence in Canada in a recent article, “Who cleans up the mess when oil and mining companies go bankrupt?”
It is estimated that it will cost a whopping $44.5-billion to clean up existing ponds, with more waste being added every day.
Who will pay for this toxic legacy if companies suddenly leave or go bankrupt, especially as many predict Alberta will be one of the first oil and gas regions to become stranded?
