Editorials | Editorial: Suncor’s $10.5 million settlement was driven by a neighborhood that wants more for the community

For decades Suncor has operated a refinery in Commerce City with little oversight or scrutiny from public officials, the media and the EPA.

That has slowly changed.

The settlement announced last week is a victory for groups and individuals who have put their time and energy into holding Suncor accountable and gaining media attention, which helped shine a light on Suncor operations.

The agreement requires Suncor to spend $8 million to improve its electrical systems so power outages no longer lead to the plant spewing harmful emissions over nearby communities in Denver and Commerce City. Additionally, Suncor will pay a $2.5 million fine for its past pollution. The money will go to environmental justice programs in an attempt to remediate the harm poor air quality has caused in the communities surrounding Suncor.

Suncor also will finally comply – in 2024 — with a state law requiring air quality monitoring at the company’s fence line – a requirement that was passed by the legislature in 2021 but that Suncor challenged with a lawsuit because it disagreed with the way the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment implemented the new law.

The non-profit organization Cultivando was awarded money from a 2020 settlement with CDPHE to conduct air quality monitoring in the community. The group’s data found troubling spikes in harmful pollution in communities near Suncor .

Suncor and CDPHE say that their data shows that the long-term exposure to harmful pollutants in north Denver does not exceed health and human safety guidelines. The fence line monitoring could finally resolve the question of whether families in the area can blame poor air quality for the increased prevalence of asthma and other poor health outcomes. It is frustrating that Suncor has successfully delayed that testing.

If we are going to give credit to those who have pushed for greater regulation of Suncor we also must listen to what they are saying about this settlement – and it’s not positive.

Earthjustice sent out a scathing press release that included prominent voices in this fight dressing down CDPHE for what they say amounts to a $2.5 million fine for multiple violations on an international company that in 2022 reported $27 billion in gross profits. We agree with Earthjustice that the $8 million is what Suncor should be spending on its own to finally stop exceeding the levels of pollution allowed by Colorado permits.

Renée Chacon called the enforcement attempt “performative.”

Chacon is the executive director and cofounder of Womxn from the Mountain, a group of indigenous advocates formed in 2018 that created a short video called Sundown at Suncor  documenting the environmental injustice in north Denver’s poor air quality and pollution.

“In order to truly move the needle away from Suncor repeatedly evading accountability, there must be increased protections to align with what the community has demanded for generations. The state has failed to protect us again with meaningful enforcement,” she wrote.

Suncor received similar treatment in a $9 million settlement in 2020 . The company paid $2.6 million on environmental projects for the community, $5 million to improve its own facility and hire an outside team to research ways to reduce emissions and comply with the law and a $1.4 million fine to the state.

Ean Thomas Tafoya, who recently ran for Denver mayor and is the state director of GreenLatinos wrote that “while this enforcement action may be the largest in state history, it does not nearly deliver on the health improvements North Denver residents have been working towards.”

Colorado is moving in the right direction when it comes to Suncor regulation, but no one should think that this settlement means any of the problems are solved.

• Bank Stocks What are bank stocks? Bank stocks represent partial ownership in a financial institution that’s licensed to hold and loan money. Over time bank stocks have been relatively safe investments, as they offer products and services that most people need. How do you choose a good bank stock?  1. Look at the bank’s profitability First, you want to be sure the bank is even profitable. To do that, you can use the following metrics.  Return on equity (ROE): this metric tells you how much profit a bank makes from its shareholder’s equity. The higher this metric, the more efficient a bank is using its stakeholder’s money.  Return on assets (ROA): the ROA tells you the overall profit a bank makes in relation to its assets. The higher the ROA, the more profit a bank makes from its assets.  Efficiency ratio: the efficiency ratio tells you how much revenue a bank uses towards its operating costs. The lower the efficiency ratio, the more revenue a bank theoretically has.  2. Assess the bank’s risks  One of the biggest risks a bank has is losing money on an outstanding loan. As with profitability, a couple metrics could help you see how much banks are…
• Cannabis Stocks Motley Fool Canada’s cannabis content.
• Dividend Stocks What are dividend stocks? Dividend stocks are stocks that send you a sum of money (usually quarterly, but sometimes annually) simply for owning shares in the company. To be clear, this money isn’t a capital gain, which you earn when share prices go up or when you sell the stock for profit. A dividend is more like a “bonus” that comes to you in the form of cash or more shares in the company’s stock. Which companies have dividend stocks? It’s important to note that not all companies pay out dividends. Dividend-paying companies are usually older, more established corporations that have a long track history of positive growth and expansion. Usually when a company earns more money than it can reinvest in itself, it creates a dividend paying policy for shareholders. For that reason, you’ll rarely see growth companies, small caps, or start-ups issue dividends. In Canada, some top dividend stocks include: Procter & Gamble Pembina Pipeline Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Fortis Inc. Polaris Infrastructure [KevelPitch/] Check back here for the most up to date information about dividend stocks in Canada.
• Energy Stocks What are energy stocks?  Energy stocks represent partial ownership in companies that supply electricity and fuel for the global economy. The energy sector in Canada is vast, comprising a large portion of the TSX. Energy stocks include:  Electric utility companies Liquefied natural gas companies Natural gas companies  Oil companies Renewable energy companies Solar energy companies  How can you pick energy stocks? 1. Look for companies with a promising future  It’s no surprise that the energy sector is under intense scrutiny. With climate change at the front of many people’s minds (from governments to investors), energy companies, old and new, are constantly adapting to a new world. Many people want cleaner energy. And it’s the energy sector’s challenge to make clean energy available — and profitable, too.  For that reason, investors will do well to look for innovative companies that are actively solving contemporary energy problems. Though we’re not suggesting investors ignore bigger companies in oil or natural gas, we are suggesting you keep an eye on the future as you’re picking your energy stocks.  Given the direction the world is going, ask yourself: who will be around in 20, 30, or even 40 years? That’s one of the biggest questions…
• Metals and Mining Stocks What are mining and mineral stocks? Mining and mineral stocks represent partial ownership in companies that find, extract, and process minerals and materials. The mining sector makes up a large portion of Canadian stocks, with the TSX having more mining stocks than any other market in the world. Here are some minerals these companies extract:  Precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium  Industrial metals: iron, ore, zinc, cobalt, lithium, nickel, copper, aluminum  Construction materials: sand, crushed stone, limestone Energy materials: coal, oil sands, uranium Fertilizers: boron, potash, phosphate  How can you find good mining stocks? 1. Know the mining industry  The mining industry is fairly complex. Not only do mining companies operate in a manner distinct from any other sector — they literally dig into the ground, not sit in swivel chairs — but also the vocabulary and industry terms can be complex, too.  From the mining process to machinery to the minerals themselves, mining investors will do well to know exactly what a mining company does before buying its stocks.  2. Analyze its financial strength  Investors should find mining companies that can withstand economic downturns and recessions. Two factors that will help you assess a mining company’s finances are production…
• Tech Stocks What are tech stocks?  Tech stocks represent partial ownership in companies that produce, distribute, manufacture, and research new technology. The sector is vast and ever-changing with plenty of exciting opportunities for growth. Some examples of tech companies include:  Artificial intelligence Blockchain Cybersecurity Computers and software Cloud services The internet The internet-of-things (IoT) Self-driving technologies Semiconductors Smartphones Why invest in tech stocks?  The tech sector isn’t as stable as, say, banking. But that’s not always a bad thing. Tech companies, from startups to big corporations, often promise significant growth. And with new technologies moving as fast as they have in the last few decades, that growth could be exponentially large.  Tech stocks can also help you diversify your investment portfolio. Investing in tech companies exposes you to a different sector in the market, helping you capitalize on gains, as well as minimize overall losses when market downturns affect other sectors. One example of diversification in action: tech stocks performed fairly well during the recent pandemic-induced recession, whereas other sectors, such as banking and energy, took a hit.  Finally, with the sheer amount of great Canadian tech companies, you have plenty of choices between value and growth.

Just when you thought oil prices would ease, Middle East geopolitical tensions have escalated, driving up oil prices. WTI crude that traded below US$77 a barrel at the start of the year went up to US$83.85 a barrel in April. Behind this surge are developments in the Middle East war situation. On April 1, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy. In retaliation, Iran attacked Israel on April 13. This spillover of the Israel-Hamas war sent oil prices on an upward trajectory once again.  Suncor Energy  ( TSX:SU ) stock has surged 25% since February 14, surpassing its June 2022 high, when oil prices surged due to the Russia-Ukraine war. 

How high can Suncor Energy stock go?

These escalations in oil prices increased the U.S. March 2024 inflation to 3.5%, dimming hopes of an interest rate cut any time soon. The World Bank, in its recent press release, warned against an escalation in oil prices. Below are the World Bank’s  expectations  for the average Brent crude price in 2024: 

• US$84 a barrel, assuming no conflict-related supply disruptions.
• US$92 a barrel, assuming moderate conflict-related supply disruptions.
• More than US$100 a barrel, assuming severe conflict-related supply disruptions.

In another development, Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, wants higher oil prices to fund its economic growth. The oil-dependent nation unveiled a plan known as Vision 2030, under which the economy is looking to diversify into non-oil activities such as tourism and industry. 

If you are a football fan, you must have heard about Saudi Arabia  hosting  the FIFA Club World Cup 2023, and the country is now the only bidder for the 2034 Cup. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts  Saudi Arabia will need oil at US$96.20 to balance its 2024 budget. All this points to one direction, that is high oil prices. 

Suncor stock is trading above $53, a price it reached when the oil price peaked at US$125 a barrel in June 2022. How high can the stock go this time? 

It would be fair to assume that investors are shifting to  oil stocks  like Suncor and  Cenovus Energy  ( TSX:CVE ),   which surged 33% since February 14, to combat inflation. The oil stocks have already priced in the supply shocks. Yet, there is the possibility of more upside if the US Fed delays rate cuts beyond June.

Should you buy, hold, or sell? 

Suncor is a  cyclical stock . There is no point in buying Suncor stock at its high. However, if you own the stock, you might want to hold it till the end of the year, as 2024 is the year of oil price volatility. If you want to combat inflation and any volatility in energy and commodity prices,  Barrick Gold  ( TSX:ABX ) is a better option. Gold prices tend to rise in times of crisis. If geopolitical tensions escalate and create a supply shock, gold prices could surge as investors consider it a safe haven. 

Even though the currency we use today is not backed by gold, inflation positively impacts gold prices. The yellow metal still has an exchange value worldwide. Alongside oil stocks, Barrick Gold’s stock price has surged as much as 29% since February 14.
