You know how despite climate change being very real, in day to day discussions with other level headed people, they still very regularly say stuff like

"We ran the numbers for an EV, and right now gas is still cheaper, so we are holding off on the switch until it makes financial sense"

Canadian oil would need to be shipped halfway around the world. It would be more expensive. Price is always the top factor for everyone.

I’m sure China would, too. I wonder what’s harder: diverting that oil to the northwest passage, or diverting Persian Gulf oil around the strait of Hormuz?
