Oil Sands Projects Steam Ahead in Alberta, Despite Harper

The Bush administration last week urged Canada’s natural resources agency to increase oilsands production in the Alberta province five-fold to 5 million barrels per day, but a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said “not at the expense of the environment.” Meanwhile, while Harper turns his back on Alberta, oil companies are steaming ahead with plans of their own to develop the world’s largest oil reserve and by the looks of things, one junior producer appears to be ahead of the pack.
