It’s all about oil

“Alberta has a lot of oil,” the preem informed a student audience at Harvard University on Thursday.

He told them how the province produces 8% of the United States’ crude consumption and 12% of its natural gas.

“And I haven’t got to the punchline yet,” Klein teased America’s academic elite. “While production in most other energy-producing areas, including Texas, is declining, Alberta’s production is increasing.” And there’s no end in sight.

“Production from Alberta’s oilsands has the potential to close the U.S. energy gap,” the premier continued. “Meaning the United States would never have to buy more offshore oil than it does today.”
