Take a look in europe they are going back to coal for electricity. Europe really needs to

socilest countrys draging us down.

I disagree I worked in the oilsands for close to 30 years and I know the government watched us like a Hawk. But everyone paints the oilsands as dirty. Did anyone ever see any mining operation as clean, oilsands or base metal or gold. All mining operations have some environmental impact but I know for a fact the the oilsands in particular Syncrude went out of their way to minimize any environmental impact. I remember one time we had to delay the start up of a dragline because some crows had built a nest in the mast while it was being commissioned. The oilsands are the growth engine of Canada and even North America. Be careful whar you ask for if you shut it down
