They haven't missed the point, not really. That much is evident from Harper attacking environmentalists at every opportunity.<br /><br />Bill, I agree. The carbon bubble aspect is tailor-made for the Opposition - if only their ranks weren't so larded with petro-pols. I have sent this piece via e-mail to Bob Rae but I'm not optimistic he'll respond.<br /><br />Anyong, don't bet the farm on Tar Sands profits swelling government coffers. If the carbon bubble bursts, as appears inevitable, Canada could be left to cope with an economic and environmental catastrophe. There are two stupid mistakes that stand out in my mind. One was allowing Big Oil to defer the burden of site remediation and tailing ponds clean up. The other was postponing our own take out of the revenues. In the result we stand a serious chance of being left holding the bag on this one.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-86900962920969231242012-02-10T12:40:52.866-08:002012-02-10T12:40:52.866-08:00Perhaps,just perhaps, the Canadian Government is g...Perhaps,just perhaps, the Canadian Government is going to take the profits from the sale of oil to China and immediately begin producing alternative energy...that's just what will happen...smile.
