U.S. President Barack Obama says Alberta's oilsands industry "creates a big carbon footprint" that leaves Canada and America facing an environmental dilemma about how to curb greenhouse-gas emissions from energy development. He also says he's eyeing carbon capture and storage as a possible solutionWhatta numbnuts. Carbon Dioxide is already pipelined north into Canada for use in secondary oil recovery and sequestered in the rocks far below the surface. It comes from the Dakota Gassification plant in Beulah, ND

I remember hearing in the last election that the vote in Alberta went 28-0 for the conservative. This statement was followed by, “and it wasn’t even that close”.

Alberta is the most sensible of all of our Canadian provinces, IMO. Followed by Saskatchewan, and then Quebec, and then BC.

the dilemma that Canada faces, the United States faces, and China and the entire world faces is, how do we obtain the energy that we need to grow our economies in a way that is not rapidly accelerating climate change?" Obama told CBC News on Tuesday. Go nuclear, moron. France is more than 70% nuclear, as is Vermont. NJ, CT, and Illinois (remember that state, Mr. President?) are all about 50% nuclear. If it's safe enough for warships and the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, it's safe enough for us.
(By the way... China is on target to match our nuclear output within 10 years... and to triple it ten years after that.)

What the hell kind of carbon footprint results from an absolutely pointless airflight to Denver? They don't have pens in DC??? At least Jimmah Carter stayed home and wore a sweater.

Here we have the socialist fascist line:
USING ENVIRONMENTALISM TO ENSURE A NON COMPETATIVE MARKET FOR OIL ON BEHALF OF OBAMAS ISLAMOFASCIST ARAB FRIENDS, SO THEY WILL HAVE Guranteed MONEY TO SCREW THE WEST. This has nothing to do with Green House Gases, and everything to do with disempowering the West in the face of the World Wide Caliphate.
Someone is going to send Obama home is a match box if he keeps this up.
Obama is leaning on ALberta, which really ate into the Arabs oil revenue at above 60 bucks a bbl.Obama is hauling the ARABS load for them here.
AND NO ONE IS CALLING HIM ON IT.
EFF OBAMA, and EFF any Canadian who takes this neo Imperialism from Obama seriously.
What is Canada, a colony of the USA?
Duh?

Doesn’t matter what’s “found”, Obamabi and the Red Commie Greens want Western Civilization off of oil.
They KNOW this even though they don’t even know “when” life begins (even 8 months into a pregnancy).

Obamas presidency is like a hybrid of the two movies "The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization" and "Americathon".

CANADA...he is coming up to tell you what to do with you country and your assets. What was it he said....57 states or something like that? How many provinces do you have?
I hope you like him, and keep him cause we don’t want him. Maybe you can show him some polar bears since there is no sea ice they should all be handy.

He also says he's eyeing carbon capture and storage as a possible solution. Canadians have been capturing CO2 for years. Thing is, it escapes when you take the cap off the bottle.

I wonder if this idiot understands that China is not a country that cares about pollution, only in succeeding in building their military and economy no matter what.

With 4 years to act out his fantasies, we are in deep trouble.
