Canada is warning that new US legislation could prohibit its southern neighbor from buying fuel from its oilsands with "unintended consequences for both countries," officials said Monday.I predict it won't take the new Jimmy Carter Democrats two years to destroy the US economy, just like Jimmy Carter of old. The old Jimmy Carter did it in 3 years, took the last year to firmly install the mullahs in Iran and set off the current era of International terrorism.Those of you too young to know who Carter was first hand, you will get your turn now if you elect one of these Democrap fools. I warn you in advance, saying "I didn't know" will get you no where.
"The government of Canada has concerns about how section 526 of the December 2007 US Energy Independence and Security Act could be interpreted to include Canadian oil sands," Eugenie Cormier-Lassonde, a spokeswoman for Canada's foreign affairs department, told AFP.
Section 526 of the law prohibits the US government from procuring alternative fuels with higher lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than conventional petroleum sources.
Canada's Alberta oil sands have been classified as an unconventional energy source and, according to environmentalists, they create up to five times more carbon emissions than conventional oil production.
While conventional crude oil is pumped from the ground, oil sands must be mined and bitumen separated from the sand and water, then upgraded and refined.
"Classifying fuel from the oil sands as non-conventional fuel under section 526 would unnecessarily complicate the integrated Canada-US energy relationship," said Cormier-Lassonde.
Don't come back weeping when you find you haven't enough money to go to the night clubs anymore and drink the night away. Maybe next time you will pay attention to facts and skip the jive talking.
Interesting must read, if you haven't already. Everything old is new again. Why? Because we know with young people, the world began when they were born.
