I don't think you have to secede from the union to not export oil. Just add some really bureaucratic and complicated zoning for any export pipelines or terminal construction, etc.
If there were free energy there people would start energy intensive industry, over time enough demand would go up enough to balance out supply.
That's basically what happens in Iceland with alumunium, or Canada with Hydro-Quebec. You can check out their economies to see real-world examples.
Quebec issue is really a NIMBY syndrome, they have no problem using gas/oil, but they have no problem 1) using Alberta's oil, and 2) getting boatload of (dirty) money from the equalization policy.
You were in so much rush to spill some hate on Quebec that you failed to realize that your comment has no relationship with the point that the parent was making. Oil in Quebec has no relationship to the previous comment, the comment was how some energy-intensive industries develop in economies where energy is dirt cheap. What is dirt cheap in Quebec is electricity (made out of water, hydro-electricity), which created the aluminimum industry and lots of data center.
How is that any relevant on how Quebec doesn't want to have pipelines?
