You Don't Say

With out any help from regulations that the Liberals never did impose on business, but are now screaming out for now that they have discovered just how GREEN they are under Mr. Dolittle Dion, Suncore Energy of the infamous Alberta Oil sands has been named one of the 10 "Green Giants" by Fortune Magazine.

Fortune wrote: “In a survey of 23 global oil companies last year, Jantzi Research, a Canadian consultancy, named Suncor a top performer, noting its environmental and greenhouse-gas management programs. Specifically, it has improved emissions intensity (the amount of oil it extracts per ton of greenhouse gases emitted) 25 percent since 1990. Ditto for energy, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Suncor is part of an initiative to develop carbon-capture techniques. And while Suncor hopes to double its production by 2012, its water management is so advanced that it expects to draw no additional water from Alberta's Athabasca River.”

What most people do not remember, is that although the all mighty dollar is very important to all business en devours, so is survival. Believe it or not, the investors of these company's live on the same planet as the rest of us and have an interest in keeping it as healthy as possible while making those bucks. It makes no sense to be rich and dead...

Candace posted some of the details on Suncor's reductions back on March 17th. Female intuition?

Funny how the eco-freaks, LIEberals, and pembina Institute like to twist this to sound like the sky is falling.

Excellent info Tim ...

The sky is falling AB... right on to the eco freaks heads... hopefully with enough force to take them out for good...

Thanks for the link, Tim.

It never ceases to amaze me how the "greens" and "liberals" don't get that whole bottom-line scenario. The bottom-line is NOT just about dollars. It's about coming home to your kids having watched "An Inconvenient Truth" and having to debate with them. It's about walking outside and seeing green grass, and trees, and knowing that's what you SHOULD be seeing, even in Fort Mac.

Do they do zero research or are they just incapable of interpreting the data?

You are welcome...

They simply interpret the data the way they want it to be rather than as it should be...
