Global Warming, Climate Change and the evil Oil Industry

How does climate change affect Western Canada’s energy producers?

Is Global Warming an alarming environmental wake up call for mankind or is it the biggest money scam of all time? Are you a Denier, a believer or a bystander? Under the current pressure, should the oil industry known in environmental circles as “Big Oil” run for the hills and close up shop, or should they make a firm stand against the movement or adapt and just go along for the ride? Is the environmental movement the new religion of the times? How do all these factors affect Western Canada and its energy based economy?

 

Alberta’s Hydrogen Economy – the New Energy of Alberta

Other than vast Oil, Gas and Agriculture reserves, Alberta with proper leadership could also lead in the new future of energy. Hydrogen produced from clean coal will be the futures energy of choice, clean, abundant, profitable and secure. Multiple billions of dollars have already been spent on development. This new single energy source could fuel your house, workplace, car, laptop and cell phone. Alberta needs a leader to fast track this new energy source to benefit all Albertans.
See the “Hydrogen Economy plan” detailed below.

Alberta’s High-Tech Infrastructure

Alberta’s high-tech infrastructure has a good start with the Alberta high speed communications super-net. Alberta, other than new schools and hospitals needs the framework or backbone of roads and rail to be expanded and as high-tech as the super-net to fuel Alberta’s future prosperity.

During the cold war in the Soviet Union you heard of stories where grain crops rotted in the fields because there was not a sufficient infrastructure system to get their product to market. The Soviet military had to pitch in to transport grain to the cities. This must have been embarrassing for them; however Alberta is going down the same road unless something is done about the outdated hydrocarbon transport system.

New rail and pipeline systems need to be built now. Alberta needs a leader to recognize this problem and address it.
See “Alberta’s high-tech infrastructure” plan detailed below.

Western Canada – the Future Leader in Clean Energy

Clean Coal – Coal Gasification – IGCC – Why it’s better than Bio-Fuels, ethanol and Nuclear

There is an easy solution to the energy producing global warming dilemma, the answer has been around for over fifty years and is cost effective, reliable, green and not dependent on unstable foreign countries. Other than saving the planet, Clean Coal technology is the responsible and economically smart way to proceed. This technology has many benefits and minimal downfalls as compared to renewable, bio-fuels and nuclear energy creation sources.

Alberta’s independence in Canada

Now more than ever Alberta needs to stand up for its independence within Canada. With the federal Liberals trying to think of things to hinder and steal (or they use the word share) Alberta riches, Alberta needs to protect itself. The rest of Canada watches Alberta and are envious, as they should be, Alberta has worked hard to become economically successful and the new Premier of Alberta needs to protect Alberta’s economy and Albertans way of life.  Its time for Alberta to stop being pushed around and stand up for it rights. See “Alberta’s independence in Canada” plan detailed below

Push Education in a new and bold brand new Direction

The success of education in Alberta is essential not only to Alberta’s prosperity but to its future economic survival.  The new education plans explains how to address some critical points facing Alberta’s education problems. The plan explains how Alberta can achieve not only the issue of attracting young professionals to study in Alberta but also lays out a plan to help the Alberta worker shortage problem.  See “Push Education in a new and bold brand new Direction” plan detailed below.

Alberta – first tax free jurisdiction in North America

Currently in Alberta people are divided about the topic of what do you do with the extra money? Do you save it? Spend it? Reduce taxes? People and the government are confused and have no real plan with a desired outcome. The next Premier of Alberta needs to have a plan and promote and present it. Just saying we put it in the Heritage Trust Fund is not good enough.  The Alberta tax plan detailed below explains how a portion of Alberta’s surplus are set aside in a savings account until its interest generated replaces taxes paid by Albertans in Alberta.
See “Alberta – first tax free jurisdiction in North America” plan detailed below.

New Alberta Tax System

The current tax system in Canada is inefficient and backward. Not only are taxes to high and complicated but they are paid to the wrong government.  See “New Alberta Tax System” plan detailed below.

New direction for Alberta’s immigration

First, Alberta needs to control its own immigration. Next, a new plan to aggressively tackle the problem of labour shortages needs to be addressed. The skilled worker shortage in Alberta is the most disturbing obstacle facing Alberta’s future prosperity. The solution for resolving this is by allowing employers to issue temporary work visas approved by the Alberta Government.
See “New direction for Alberta’s immigration” plan detailed below.

Invite Canadian territories to join Alberta

Invite the Northwest and Yukon territories to join Alberta, making Alberta the largest land jurisdiction and the economic powerhouse of Canada. The Territories have an unknown untapped potential like no other in Canada. Diamonds, natural gas, timber, fresh water and many other natural resources still undiscovered. Albertans can take advantage of this great potential to the benefit of both Alberta and the Territories.  See the “Invite Canadian territories to join Alberta” section plan detailed below.

Equalization – why it’s bad for Canada

Equalization in Canada is severely misunderstood by Canadians and most politicians. Provincial leaders after studying the issue actually become more confused, take for example Danny Williams of Newfoundland. The reason equalization is so confusing is because the concept and formula is so complex, even experts have a hard time figuring it out.

Warning to Central and Eastern Canada, you may be cut off

Until now Western Canadians have been very patient with the rest of Canada (ROC). Western Canadians even though, underrepresented in the country have been paying more than their fair share. Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan have quietly sat still while multiple billions of dollars every year flow east.

How long can this situation last before the West takes action? Separatist movements are being motivated by current events and have already started organizing themselves. The West has been tolerant with the Prime Minister in the hopes that he can fix Canada, unfortunately the current government does not have a majority and therefore is catering to the socialists and extremists in Canada.

If Central and Eastern Canada continue to insist on implementing Kyoto Carbon Taxes, Cap and Trade system, the West will be forced to retaliate. The West can not afford to be manhandled and pay the bills at the same time. If you think this comment is just a rant, you may be surprised. Quebec only threatens to separate to receive perks and benefits from the rest of Canada, however when Westerners get serious about separating its not going to be a threat, its going to be a reality.
