Fossil fuels are ’probably dead,’ says Canadian Pacific Railway CEO Hunter Harrison

Hunter Harrison said the transition to alternative fuels will be long, but new investments in traditional energy sources will dry up because of environmental hurdles.

MONTREAL – People need to get their heads round the idea that non-renewable fuels are “probably dead,” the CEO of Canadian Pacific Railway said Wednesday.

“I’m not maybe as green when i should be but I occur to think the weather is changing (and) they’re not going to fool me anymore,” Hunter Harrison told a J.P. Morgan transportation conference in Ny.

The veteran rail executive said the transition to alternative fuels is going to be long, but new investments in traditional powers will dry out because of environmental hurdles.
