Oil is akin to magic! While humans have only been using fossil fuels for a scant, 0.1% of the time we have been industrialized; it has completely redesigned the way we live!!
Now, scientists and conservationists are realizing, that we need to find other sources of energy. Politicians are slow to comply; why?
Simplistic; the politicians want to keep their jobs, and protect their personal investments.
Lets face it; everyone knows that fossil fuels are bad for the planet, but no one wants to admit it; for fear they might have to pay for the cost of fixing the problem! THAT, is the issue at hand.....
.....not IF we have to find other sources of energy; but at what cost!
The debate is based on jobs, and money. No politician in his / her right mind, would want to bankrupt a country, or force thousands of Canadians out of work.
We all know that building pipelines through pristine forests are wrong, but it would safeguard jobs, and our economy; so the politicians, bow to the whims of the oil tycoons.
What Canada needs is a leader who will take the country by the horns, and bring about real change!
Building more pipelines, is a temporary solution, and presents Canada, in a poor light on the International stage. Sucking more bitumen out of the sand in Alberta, is a step backwards, in our society!
There has to be a change, on a time-frame, that conforms to the rest of the world's pace; because Canada is falling behind on the issue of energy sources..........
