Resources

[Canbyte]

Canada is rich in both sustainable & non-renewable resources.

It will be on our resources that our well being is based, but it will be on sustainable & renewable resources that our future is based & in particular on our skills & savvy.

1) Average GHG emissions from tar sands are 23% higher than the average fuel currently used in Europe.

2) Wrong for Europe, no doubt but not wrong for Canada. Europe is living well beyond it's natural carbon allotment. They have too many people and too few natural carbon sinks.
Canada on the other hand has a much more sustainable relationship with the carbon cycle. They have few people living in a large country.
With less than one half of one percent of the worlds population living in 9 million sq/kms, complete with 3 cold oceans, they sink more Carbon than they could ever emit.
Canada is the only country that can fully exploit the oil sands and still be a net carbon sink.

Nice propaganda site... Here's a thought that maybe you can address on your site:

Considering that the strife in the Middle East has resulted in a double digit % increase in the price per bbl of oil, what do you think will be the net effect of withdrawing over a trillion bbls of the oil sands resources from the global inventory?

Are you and the remainder of the eco-Truthers prepared to pay through the nose to for the basics like buying groceries? Will you piss and moan about the high costs of food and rail at the inequities of the world?

The glowing problem is this....

Energy consumption per capita per year....2003 figures.

Canada.....8300.7 kgoe/a

USA.....7794.8

Japan.....4040.4

Germany....4203.1

France....4518.4

UK.....3918.1

Denmark....3832.8

Brazil....1067.6

Switzerland....3718.6

China....1138.3

India....512.4


As the last two begin to emerge as economic powers what will be the cost of oil then?

Time to start thinking about the future instead of being mired in the past.

Do you want to eat or not? It's that simple. I just spent two days on the farm having 22,0000L of fuel delivered that I was smart enough to pre-purchase at the first signs of increases coming down the pipe.

In just another month or so bread will rise 5% per loaf. Would you prefer it were a rise of 25% -40% which would be the true cost of farm input costs over the past 2 years?

This is a oil sands thread and about emissions. It is only about one resource, not resources. The thread title is mis leading..

I was expecting a thread about gold, oil, PGE's, Rare earth metals and base metals in canada.
