A second China shock, that will threaten traditional American strongholds like automakers, will be arriving soon. Most importantly for this Note, China has targeted clean energy technology manufacturing on both the supply side (wind, solar, batteries) and the demand side (batteries, EVs, heat pumps).<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63228\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63228\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/unnamed-47-e1714408870810.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"291\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: Noah Smith.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>China controls the energy technology of the (very near) future. And it has no intention of relinquishing its lead as investment continues unabated.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, however, the US is fighting back. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellin didn\u2019t mince words a year ago during a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy1425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">speech<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Johns Hopkins University:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChina has long used government support to help its firms gain market share at the expense of foreign competitors. But in recent years, its industrial policy has become more ambitious and complex. China has expanded support for its state-owned enterprises and domestic private firms to dominate foreign competitors. It has done so in traditional industrial sectors as well as emerging technologies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Podesta\u2019s speech is the American response to the China challenge outlined by Yellin. There is officially now a global clean energy arms race between the US, China, and Europe, with a smattering of Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, and India jockeying for position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What does this mean for Canada?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">British Columbia and Quebec will do just fine under the emerging global trade regime, says Bataille. The hydro provinces have clean power grids, climate and clean energy strategies, and citizens who (more or less) embrace the energy transition. Ontario, Canada\u2019s most populous province and the manufacturing base of the country, is finally waking up to the challenge, embracing change in its auto manufacturing sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is Alberta (and the much smaller Saskatchewan).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61483\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61483\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61483\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cap-and-trade-e1714408433461.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"277\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Premier Danielle Smith. Government of Alberta photo by Chris Schwarz.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlberta and Saskatchewan could make hay out of the global clean industrial transition, but they&#8217;re choosing to go another path,\u201d says Bataille. That path is to double down on the oil and gas status quo. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is erecting a political, legal, and constitutional wall around the province to keep out the forces of change, as represented by federal climate and energy policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe ultimate price will not be paid by the companies,\u201d argues Bataille. \u201cThey will move on. Their CEOs will collect their bonuses and paychecks and move on somewhere else. But the workforce is there and the Provinces\u2019 capacity to pay for public goods will suffer if those jurisdictions are not competitive 20 years from now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making this argument in Alberta is almost impossible. Albertans identify so closely with the oil and gas industry that even pointing out global energy realities is considered an attack on their personal identities. Interest in the energy transition has picked up over the past year or two, but OPEC\u2019s \u201cslow transition\u201d narrative dominates political, business, and popular culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alberta and Saskatchewan believe the future will look very much like the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a serious problem because the US (and the energy transition, driven by China) is about to blow up that past.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Canada, where &#8220;muddling&#8221; through is an art<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judging by the lack of news stories about Podesta\u2019s speech, Canada has again failed to notice a major policy shift that affects its energy sector. This reminds me of a story that perfectly captures national complacency.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-63225\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-63225\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/5f0335ec-abfa-451a-b5d2-336024a26d23-e1714408648122.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"301\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-63225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Prof. Michael Wernick. Source: University of Ottawa.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eighteen months ago, I sat on a conference panel with Michael Wernick, former clerk of the privacy council (the top civil servant in the federal government) and an economics professor at the University of Ottawa. We got into quite a verbal dust up. He said something that I think illustrates the worst of the Canadian psyche. My paraphrase of his comment: \u201cWe\u2019ll muddle through this change just like we\u2019ve muddled through changes in the past.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infuriatingly, Wernick is probably correct. Instead of taking bold action, Canada appears quite content to muddle through this energy transition, comfortable in its status as the lagging hinterland to the American metropolis. Worse yet, Alberta resists even modest attempts to pivot toward a low-carbon future, dragging the national energy conversation into the ditch and beating it into senseless submission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As economist Bataille notes, just how senseless the consequences will be won\u2019t become apparent for another 20 years. By then it will be too late. Transition opportunities will have been missed and risks will not have been adequately mitigated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch out for Rust Belt Alberta.
