Investing in Carbon Capture and Storage & Clean Coal: Obama and Harper’s “Environmental” Initiative

The Toronto Star article indicates that the oil sands are an important economic and energy resource for Canada, in the same way that coal resources are in the United States.

Ontario gets in on green energy act

Plus there’s no geopolitical “risk premium” we have to pay… there is no OPEC breathing down our neck… no taxes or royalties we have to pay anyone. As a bonus, wind is inflation proof — once you build the plant, your energy cost is virtually fixed — no surprises from volatile fuel prices.
