CALGARY – Ottawa’s pending decision on Teck Resource Ltd.’s Frontier oilsands project has become a symbol of a larger debate about energy and climate change, according to Mark Little, chief executive officer of Suncor Energy Inc.
“There are 700 million people on the face of the Earth, about 10 per cent, that are struggling with extreme poverty and they need more energy to change their standard of living,” Little said. “That’s why this is a quandary because the world really needs more energy and less emissions and that whole mantra is actually caught up in this … approval,” he said.
The world really needs more energy and less emissions and that whole mantra is actually caught up in this ... approval, “So it’s kind of like, ‘ok, is it zero?’ No it’s not zero, we need to deal with that and maybe we need to offset some of it,” Little said. “Technology is a huge card. Innovation is something that’s allowed us to continue and adapt as we go forward.”
Cost my people 56 million lives and counting. 1.7 trillion dollar heist and counting. You're living on stolen property. If Canada dodges charges of genocide, how can you even be called a 'just' nation?
I don't see genocide as a legitimate land claim. Let's try these negotiations again without the culling of my people. 1k per hectare with the most draconian laws one can give is insulting and I'd rather see charges of genocide brought forward rather then selling out a dynasty
Meanwhile, demand for hydrocarbon fuel is still increasing. We can help meet the demand, or we can sit in the cold and the dark and tinker with solar panels and other useless stuff.
We will always need energy. That's not up for debate. How will be transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources? THAT is the debate.
The so called carbon conscious world is increasing demand yearly.
