As for the question of Liberal environmental policy I think Ignatieff is in the same bind as the Conservatives. Noone wants to shut the projects down, so the alternative is to find a way of making them environmentally palatable. Sadly CCS isn't looking like it is the answer, and government needs to take the lead on an alternative, or at least give industry a reason to do so itself.Alexander Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384432421245507388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-967103771007627369.post-42349411123630570232009-09-24T19:17:27.536-07:002009-09-24T19:17:27.536-07:00Ignatieff's support of carbon capture as a met...Ignatieff's support of carbon capture as a method of making Tar Sands development environmentally sustainable raises real doubts in my mind about his environmental policies. Does he want to forge ahead with the Tar Sands projects, or does he want to clean up rivers, streams and oceans? Don't see how he can have it both ways.

Chevron, Exxon Mobile and Shell are on the hook for problems in the first half century. After that, the Australian taxpayer is totally liable. There are to be no mid- or long-term liability for CCS mishaps and, I fear, that will become the general expectation of Big Oil in Athabasca too.<br /><br />Honest to god, it's enough to make you puke.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
