My wind too.
You seem to think its a problem if Encana maximizes their profit.
Its a free market economy....they have every right to do that...and the MORE the government stays out of it...the better.
We don't 'need' 2 billion more. It wouldn't do us 'any' good....unless of course like Fotze said....they would stick it into a heritage fund type thing and save it for a rainy day.
Somehow I doubt that will happen.

Wrong again.
They can make as much profit as they're allowed under guidlines. Or are you suggesting there should be no royalties paid? I mean why not using your arguments? All of the money should go only to the share holders who were sage enough to have enough cash to invest in those companies.
Albertans don't see returns from windmills (as you call them), so perhaps they should not see returns from the particular natural resources we're discussing? Wow.
The bolded section is an opinion of yours and is where we differ.
On this situation I want them to step in and take a higher amount and then put that into "stuff" for albertans. Whether they end up doing that is entirely another issue.
