Nations around the world still have a very long way to go in the direction of discouraging the consumption of fossil fuels.<br /><br />The American government surely has the means of 'doing a deal' with Canada to direct Canada's energy industry in a new direction.<br />https://www.facebook.com/Energy.Revolution.Earth<br /><br />I understand that Bavaria has more solar installations than in the whole of the USA.<br /><br />Brenda RosserMyrtle Blackwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427043367624101075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-951454766987026252014-02-05T02:33:01.332-05:002014-02-05T02:33:01.332-05:00Peluang Bisnis 2014

He pushed Pigou taxes and charged the cargon market with corruption, with people in the room running that market. He and I argued about India vs China, but more specifically about practical details involved, which are serious.<br /><br />So, at that meeting it was reported by a Norwegian rep that the Nordics had been trying to rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-37613421356802613882014-02-04T17:23:27.035-05:002014-02-04T17:23:27.035-05:00Jeff Sachs makes the case that oil sands and frack...Jeff Sachs makes the case that oil sands and fracked oil have externalities that ideally should be included in the overall cost of this oil. But alas it is not. So with production costs being around $70 a barrel and the market price of oil being around $100 a barrel, it will get sold. The Pipeline is not the issue. The issue is the failure of our governments imposing the right Pigovian taxes.ProGrowthLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138489390594441753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-57853047317004142142014-02-04T01:18:20.351-05:002014-02-04T01:18:20.351-05:00Sorry, that link worked when I put it up at Econom...Sorry, that link worked when I put it up at Economistsview.

Although somewhat out of doubt, it provides useful information, and I note that the comments cover a wide range of issues from various perspectives, including from many people who criticize portions of his argument.<br /><br />http;//econbrowser.com/archives/2011/12/costs_and_benefrosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-26426278339238877142014-02-03T23:19:50.287-05:002014-02-03T23:19:50.287-05:00I don't consider myself an expert authority on...I don't consider myself an expert authority on the oilsands, as the residents of Fort Mac prefer to call them. But I personally know several authorities and I happen to teach a course in a <b>Canadian</b> university that is centrally concerned with climate change issues as they relate to labour.<br /><br />As a Canadian, I resent Barkley's framing of this issue as "imperialist" environmentalists vs. Canadian interests. That is the official propaganda line of the right-wing Harper government. It is a smear directed at the substantial Canadian opposition to pipelines accelerated oilsands development. Like much of the Harper propaganda, it might even have been dreamed up by U.S. Republican political operatives. Which is not to say that there aren't local slime buckets like Ezra "Ethical Oil" Levant capable of Rush Limbaugh style fact twisting and hate mongering. <br /><br />Go ahead and pooh-pooh the arguments against the XL pipeline, Barkley. But please, please don't do so on behalf of us poor Canadians. We prefer to speak for ourselves -- at least until YOUR NSA tells "OUR" government to shut us up.Sandwichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159060882083015637noreply@blogger.com
