Energy minister says Alberta has enough oil to last for centuries

Alberta has enough oil in its tarsands region to last for hundreds of years, says Energy Minister Greg Melchin.

Albertans and Canadians shouldn’t be concerned about Americans draining oil to meet a growing thirst for energy in the United States, the minister said Tuesday. “We have centuries of supplies,” Melchin said. “And our policies are built on a lot of trade, the United States being our most valuable customer.”
