Alberta Oil is cheap supply for US Obama

Ed Stelmach says US will need Alberta Oil

Alberta oilsands produces a reliable and secure oil source for the US. Ed Stelmach sent a clear message to the Obama administration when he said US will need Alberta oil in the future. It is important for the US to recognize that Canada’s Alberta rich oil sands is a secure and cheap source of oil for the growing US Demand. Fossil fuels including the oilsands will provide more than 80% of the supply needed to satisfy world demand for oil. It is in the best interest for the US to work closely with Canada in implementing a viable solution to develop the oilsands responsibly. Expel the myths and produce the facts of Alberta oil and let the world know what the Alberta oilsands companies can do to protect the environment. In 2008, the Alberta Government created a $2 billion dollar fund to promote solutions to solving the dirty oil problem. This and other solutions from the oilsands’ companies themselves will serve to promote this abundant resource for the growing demand for oil consumption.

Obama concerned about Alberta Dirty Oil

Obama has an aggressive plan to combat climate change. He says that we can not punish the future by exploiting the present and we will not tolerate the increase in green house gas emissions while he is President. This is a direct blow to Alberta oilsands companies and the growing environmental concern about ‘dirty oil’. Alberta’s dirty oil image is a picture of an environmental disaster waiting to happen. We are shown images of Northern Alberta’s oilsands production in Fort McMurray, the Athabasca region, and how the destruction and carnage of the environment is occurring without concern. Environmentalist are adamant that dirty oil in Alberta cannot continue and they will work harder in showing the world the truth that is happening to this ecosystem. Obama further stated that his presidency will reduce the US’s dependence on ‘dirty oil’ for good. Ed Stelmach of the Alberta government on the other hand has been working vigorously in fighting the environmentalist by dispelling the myths behind their stories.

Dirty Alberta Oil: Myths and Facts

Myths about Alberta oilsands are abundant. But what are the true facts of what the Alberta oilsands is doing to the environment. With a $2 billion dollar investment by the Alberta Government in researching solutions to develop the oilsands more cautiously, we are sure to hear a lot of buzz about the oilsands in the near future. One of the myths about the oilsands is the amount of impact that oilsands has on the environment. A study was done comparing the emissions that currently are produced by coal production, a large polluter in the US and China, versus the oilsands. When compared with this polluter, the oilsands represents less than 1 percent of the emissions being emitted by coal production. Another myth follows about the oilsands environmental impact due to tarsands pools created from extracting the oil and leaving the toxic remains behind. Of course the toxic remains have always existed in the area even without removing the oil. The environmentalist are concerned that the process of extracting the oilsands will create a bigger impact than if no production was done. While this may be true of only some rare situations, the truth is that the tarsands production is very careful in leaving behind tarsands pools in a way that will not be worse than the original case. Of course the results are hard to prove by both sides given the short amount of time that has passed since the production of the oilsands.

Alberta Climate Change and the Premier Ed Stelmach Government

Alberta Climate Change

Alberta climate change is a big topic for Premier Ed Stelmach and the Alberta Government. With so much at stake in Alberta and the Canadian economy, it is a top priority for the Alberta Government to keep on top of this issue. At risk are the economic benefits to Alberta for the next few decades with the Alberta Oilsands being of such importance to the Alberta economy. Not only will being proactive in making any suggestions for Alberta climate change be vital but the Alberta Government will need to show that they are keeping the large oil companies accountable for their effects on the environment. With the election of President Barack Obama, Premier Stelmach is sending a clear signal that the Alberta Government is concerned and would like to play a key role in any decisions made about climate change. They don’t want to be blindsided like the last time when Prime Minister Jean Chretien made major changes in negotiating a climate change pact without first consulting the other provinces of Canada.

Green house gas emissions and the Alberta Government

Greenhouse gas emissions are a major concern for the world as it pertains to Alberta climate change which has a significant impact on world climate. The Alberta Government has been playing a key role in evaluating green house gas emissions and the effect that the Alberta Oil Sands has had on the environment. The main issue here is that Alberta’s energy sector has produced a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, an amount that far exceeds their actual size. This effect will have a huge detrimental impact on what the public perceives as global warming, the premature melting of the polar ice caps, and other such effects as a result of green house gas emissions. The Alberta Government and more specifically, Premier Ed Stelmach, wants Prime Minister Harper to voice Alberta’s concerns for having a larger voice in any negotiations relating to Alberta climate change. This is of particular concern now that President Barack Obama is going to be taking a more serious look at the effects of green house gas emissions. Since the Alberta Oil Sands plays such a huge part in Canada’s economy and the world economy, it only makes sense to have the Alberta Government more closely involved in all the negotiations relating to green house gases.

Alberta Oil Sands and the US Economy

What the Alberta Oil Sands represents to the US Economy is a stable source of Oil. Despite President Barack Obama’s insistence on improving the US economy’s reliance on renewable resources, it is indisputable that Alberta Oil and specifically Alberta Oil Sands oil will continue to play a vital role for decades to come. Canada has the closest source of stable and economical Alberta oil for the US economy. Not only will Alberta Oil Sands continue to supply the US economy with an abundant supply of oil but Canada will continue to ensure that they reduce the cost of producing it. With recent improvements in converting Alberta Oil Sands into useable oil, the cost to produce has reached an economical $30 a barrel. It is the hopes of the Alberta oil companies that they can further reduce this figure so that they can remain profitable and provide the world with a source of inexpensive oil. Of course all this has to also be green house gas friendly and make a positive impact on the economies that are affected.
