By the time we get to Copenhagen…

Prentice promises carbon pricing, even as California seems poised to target oil sands imports

Yesterday was a red letter day for Canadian carbon emissions: Alberta officials and representatives of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers appeared at hearings in California to defend oil sands crude from a landmark low-carbon fuel standard that state may adopt. And Federal Environment Minister Jim Prentice assured the Calgary Herald that the Harper Tories will introduce a carbon pricing plan for Canada before we get to Copenhagen for an international climate change conference at the end of the year.

    Alberta shouldn’t give a tinker’s damn what Conan the Republican and all the rest of the loons in la-la land think. California is well on the way to bankruptcy and will not be able to pay for a drop of oil or anything else. If they treaten anything, we should respond by theatening to cut off all the hydro that is sent there during summer heat waves. When they come crawling on their hands and knees make sure they bring cash. Their credit’s no good. Cheers.
