Rationale

LNG exports and lithium extraction boost Alberta's non-oil resource revenue. Chain: alberta_natural_gas_royalties -> alberta_resource_revenue (+1.0, immediate); alberta_other_mineral_revenue -> alberta_resource_revenue (+1.0, immediate). Both feed the same target — converging causes from different resource sectors.

Details

Epoch: 51

Domain: energy

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $42.60B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$41.56B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$19.64B → education_spending (Education Spending) via gdp_growth_rate
  • +$17.14B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via gdp_growth_rate
  • +$4.83B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via gdp_growth_rate
  • −$1.04B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via gdp_growth_rate

Causal effects: 8 downstream variables affected (8 immediate)

Divergence after: 1,508.271

Variable changes

  • alberta_natural_gas_royalties: 1.8 → 3.5
  • alberta_other_mineral_revenue: 4.6 → 6
