Energy swap

The great energy swap: electrify at home, export the molecules

The same principle as section 8, run in reverse inside the border — and the closing loop of the whole plan.

Every barrel and cubic foot burned at home is sold to Canadians at domestic prices; every one displaced by domestic electrons can be sold abroad at export netbacks. Shifting Canadian consumption to renewable electricity monetizes the same resource twice: cheap clean power serves Canadians, and the freed hydrocarbons flow into the prepay strips — with no new resource discovery required (sustaining development drilling continues; the freed gas also partly substitutes for new LNG feedgas drilling rather than adding a wholly separate stream).
