Will The Oil Pipelines Issues From Alberta to B.C. Deprive Canadas People Of Canadas Rich Oil Reserves Est. >Two Trillion Barrels Of Oil And The Western Great Eco System - The Pipeline will create an environmental disaster in British Columbia and Alberta which may affect our health and pollute Canada’s water supply. The impact on nature and the effects of pipeline construction and use are: * With the high probability of snow avalanches will create the pipelines in many valleys will be destroyed in winter and the rain season and the earth’s natural erosion will cause more natural disasters ex: by avalanches, mudslides, earthquakes etc. * When these weather seasons occur the avalanches will cause damage to the pipelines which will leak oil into the rivers, creeks and lakes and it cause contamination for farmers, communities, cities and to our water supply. * The detrimental effects to the environment outweigh the benefits of the short term boost to our economy for these construction jobs will just be temporary. * There will be minimal permanent jobs created when the project is completed to the potential water pollution the oil may cause to our aqua water systems for animals and people of B.C. and Alberta. There are enough oil resources in the Tar Sands to produce enough fossil fuel for the next 100 hundred years to meet the Canadian and the United States of America oil needs. Our Tar Sand Resources should be developed and controlled in Canada by establishing a refinery in Alberta that is maintained by Canadians and monitored for environmental hazards. It makes more sense to stimulate the economy by creating jobs by utilizing the trucking and shipping industry to deliver the valuable resource that Canadians possess within their borders. Our environment can be protected and we can still appease all interested parties. * Premiers of B.C., Alberta and Prime Minister of Canada need to re-evaluate their position on this issue. * Recent polls demonstrate that >50% of British Columbia people are opposed to the pipeline construction. * Our elected officials are supposed to listen to their constituents and views on public policy. The United States of America and China are strongly influencing the higher echelons of Canadian society to gain momentum in securing the pipeline access through our borders but more than the >50% of British Columbians are not in favour of pipeline expansions are very concerned with the long term environmental impact this will have on our ECO-system. They are only interested in oil for their economy and many countries have already destroyed their natural habitants to the point that they are not fit for human beings or other living organisms. I personally feel that more research is needed in solar energy. Common sense prevails that solar energy is eco-friendly and a positive alternative to fossil fuel. It’s my belief that we should be concentrating on developing the tar sands for the oil that is needed for that purpose and continues to seek out clean environmentally friendly sources of energy. The construction of the B.C. pipeline would be good for people if it was to be stopped and Canada made a refinery in Alberta to handle all heavy oil tar sand resources for it will create long term work and investment opportunities for all in Canada. These oil sand deposits lie under 141,000 square kilometres (54,000 sq mi) of boreal forest and muskeg (peat bogs) and contain about 1.7 trillion barrels (270×10/9 m3) of bitumen in-place, comparable in magnitude to the worlds total proven reserves of conventional petroleum.Although the former CEO of Shell Canada, Clive Mather, estimated Canadas reserves to be 2 trillion barrels (320 km3) or more, the International Energy Agency (IEA) lists Canadas reserves as being 178 billion barrels (2.83×1010 m3). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athabasca_oil_sands Good Health Is Our Wealth - God Bless
