Re: “COVID19 brought the oil business to its knees. Is it time for investors to turn to clean energy?” (Jacob Lornic, Toronto Star, 27 April): I think investors, and anyone else for that matter, should watch Michael Moore’s recent documentary film “Planet of the Humans” before you pronounce fossil fuels dead and “green” energy the “way of the future.”
Maybe someday we will have the magical, unicorn-fart, “green” energy source that will provide all the power our modern society requires, but we aren’t there yet.
So the answer is NO!
