Our National Energy Policy: Consumption
before you cheer for Canada, consider the glaring hole: There is no energy policy to speak of, other than to pump the oil and gas out of the ground as fast as the technology allows, and export them. What happens when the cheap stuff runs out? If it weren't running out, oil companies wouldn't be sinking tens of billions of dollars into the Alberta oil sands. from the Globe and Mail - What Europe can learn from Canada - Eric Reguly The oil sands make no sense. Let me see, we take giant oil-powered machines and use them to scoop up and grind up slightly oily dirt. Then we lovingly steam-clean the dirt using fossil natural gas and clean water, in order to produce: some fairly crummy oil. If this doesn't tell you that economics and politics don't work, I don't know what will. HOME - |
