Questions
Some questions and issues I am interested in exploring on this blog.
- How big is the environmental impact of unconventional oil production in Canada and how much would it cost to reduce it?
- What impact will the latest Canadian federal climate policy have on the industry in 2010 when the first targets have to be met?
- How much does oil and gas development really cost in Canada and what happens to all the revenue?
- What are the impacts of rapid growth in oil production fueled by high oil prices?
- How do increasing production costs affect investment in future production?
- Will industry in BC come under provincial, regional or federal climate regulations and what will the regulations be?
- What alternatives to petroleum exist, how much do they cost and how far off are they?
- What could life in the future be like, how might current environmental and social problems be overcome, and how long will it take to get there?
- How does change come about? Does the political process work?
Expect some posts on these topics in due course! I’ll update the list as new topics come up.
