Alberta is a province in Western Canada. The Rocky Mountains cross the territory, which has a number of national parks. But it is also home to an industry which is starting to exploit huge mineral deposits…the oil sands, Canada’s most important source of petroleum.
A third of the world’s oil sands are located here. But the mining of the substance is causing massive environmental destruction. And extracting crude oil from sand is very energy intensive. The emissions of CO2 are three times as high as with standard methods of oil extraction.
The oil sands industry is the largest single source of greenhouse gasses in Canada and the quantity of emissions is set to rise as the industry expands.
Because the thirst for oil is so great in the neighbouring US, Canada will hardly be able to meet its Kyoto protocol commitments.

(1/27/10) Barack Obama–State of the Union: “To create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. That means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies.”
