Thanks for spreading the sunshine.
Continued EV adaptation may be inevitable but the increased use and demand of ICE vehicles will increase as well. For the past 25 years my wife and I upgrade our ICE's when the factory warranties expire, every 36 months. This practice minimizes maintenance costs to oil changes and perhaps a windshield or two plus keeps us older folks in tune with any new technology offered. Annual km's for two vehicles are around 15k which would make EV or at least hybrid vehicles a good fit for our needs. Now IF we do decide to go this route our existing ICE units will not be retired or taken off the roads. They will find new owners who will likely use them for the next 10 years. Your comment of " when the Americans open their borders to well made Chinese EV's, the legacy auto industry is done" is an oxy-moron statement cause the word well- made and Chinese should not be used in the same sentence.
As far as Suncor retooling their existing refineries to products that will be demand, oil will always be in demand, long after all of us become fossil fuel. Yes as long as North American borders remain open OG consumption will increase proportionally. As far as low SU and others recent moderate share prices keep in mind what lies in store this November. It is what it ain't...
