Whats your excuse BP?

Even Danny Smith was told by the Alberta Utilities Commission renewable energy has a very little environmental impact on land use and the environment compared to oil and gas, yet she still doesn't get it!

What a dud!

I guess my excuse could be that I have no formal education. Or perhaps that I have no axe to grind.
Your responses only make hay with the ill informed. Sensible only to the lazy or illiterate. One dimensional to the extreme. You're not gaining anything, positive at least. And you seem to ignore most information when presented.
Now, this could apply to many on either end of the political spectrum or any mainstream discussion.
And to a few on here as well.
So carry on, enjoy.
I only have energy to call BS occasionally. But you make it so easy to call. Every post. Like your last two.
Maybe you should stick to cut and paste as I don't suffer through any of those.

Funny you haven't mentioned the country leading the charge. Ethiopia.

The late David Schindler at the University of Alberta was very clear that the oil sands are polluting the Athabaska river and you are in denial about the scale and impact of the tar sands on the environment. Its environmental destruction on a grand scale that doesn't look pretty does it! And they have been driving Canada's green house gas emissions much higher.

The oil companies got a massive royalty holiday until they paid back their huge oversized capital costs for a very energy and capital intensive source of dirty oil.

Without that huge subsidy, the oil sands would have probably stayed in the ground!

With oil demand falling in the next decade, the tar sands will become a stranded asset and Alberta will have a massive environmental clean up bill. Just like they have for all the old oil wells they don't clean up. Privatize the profits and make the taxpayers pay for the cleanup? Great work Alberta!

I doubt you have ever been north of Hiway 16. Your greatest achievements have been done in a classroom or office. You are a lazy thinker and writer. Proven over years of observation.
You have a cause that fits your inner needs.
I support giving it all to the Bands.
Who you gonna hate then?
Honestly, shut it all off by 2030. That way I might be around to watch.

Repeating the boldface lie that the oil and gas industry receives subsidies doesn't make it true. Without oil and gas, canuckistan is a third world country. Oil and gas pays the bills around here and funds subsidies everywhere else in the canuckistanian economy. You can't point to any other industry in canuckistan that is competitive on the world stage. Then chuck refers to the quack shindler.

For how long have you been predicting oil demand will be falling?
Once again, you have confused forecasted models with actual real-time data.
No credible scientific organization that isn't political is claiming anything other than continued growth.

Albertans shouldn't be lecturing Quebec about pollution in rivers based on their record with the tailing ponds leaking into the Athabaska river which is far worse than treated waste water.

Having known several who have swam in these AB rivers, we should first subtract all the naturally occuring "leakage" for perspective.
An affected area percentage comparison as well, including the reclaimed of course.
Eventually the most expensive production (ours) will belong to the First Nations. Quebec seems to be the one always lecturing. Do as I say not as I do.
