Find me an energy analyst who says that the price of oil will again fall below $60/barrel, and I’ll show you an idiot analyst. Why is it that with a resource that is a sure bet, we’re expected to subsidize interest in its extraction and sale? The answer is: Lobbying from Big Oil.
The Green Party of Saskatchewan is on the right track. We don’t have to price ourselves out of the business going on now, but while other places in the world will lose their resource within possibly 20 years, it won’t hurt to have a long term investment tucked away in our Saskatchewan soil, for when oil is worth $200/barrel.
Who would oppose making our children richer than, well, todays oil tycoons?

The sooner consumers are forced to pay for the full cost of their actions the better. Once that happens the market will be able to properly deal with most environmental problems.

Big buisness backed Conservatives (or apparently NDPers) if you followed Wall and Calvert’s responses to the Alberta royalty hike announcements. Both said they would not increase Sasks anytime soon because they want to “encourage investment”.

Hmmm…*looks skeptically at the claims of Calvert and Wall*
