But what about his seemingly narrow vision of our energy future? Clean Coal, Clean Oil Sands, Co2 sequestration? Yikes! You can put the word “Clean” in front of anything to put on a new spin and extend its shelf life.

These technologies are all very very far away from being environmentally friendly. Harper has a fixation on fossil fuels and seems to want to make the industries of Alberta proud by giving them continual breaks and reason for continuing on the path to global destruction… very scary.

And you mention the 2:1 ratio of public to SDTC… does this mean that giants such as the Oil / Gas industry will see the bulk (having generous industry investment) while the budding renewable / sustainable technology industry gets the crumbs? Sounds a little biased to me.
