Adam Scott believes the oil and gas industry is misleading Canadians. Scott has been scrutinizing the oil industry’s numbers for years, previously at Environmental Defence Canada and now with Oil Change International as their senior campaigner. He disputes industry’s claim that Canada needs more pipelines. The industry says Canada needs greater pipeline capacity from the likes of the Trans Mountain expansion and Energy East. But Scott believes the problem isn’t a lack of pipelines, it’s an “over-dependence on an industry that has to decline.” “These pipelines wouldn’t be needed unless there’s a massive expansion of tar sands that is allowed to continue right up to 2030. Once the pipelines are built, there’s a huge incentive to continue filling them and allowing that expansion,” Scott said.
