Is a Candu really the answer for Alberta’s oilsands?

Oil execs are no dummies. They have tough-minded shareholders and inquiring boards of directors to deal with, so they don’t just toss out ideas like this willy-nilly. At the same time, the timing of these announcements and their tone (Husky CEO John Lau went out of his way to note the political reticence) have to be taken into account.
