Take a closer look. It's not about that at all. In fact this story is of critical importance to the energy industry and getting a more balanced, rational, pragmatic and optimistic story out about the future of energy. It's about looking at all options from an energy systems perspective and understanding that all fuel sources whether it's oil, shale gas, coal, nuclear wind, solar, bio-fuels have positive and negative unintended consequences. Yet, right now the debate is focused on fossil fuels are only bad, and alternatives are all good, free and benign. This is not a realistic picture, and the best way to address this is through better energy literacy. Keystone XL shows what happens when debates are controlled by energy illiteracy and inaccuracy. We need to make vast improvements to how we producer, distribute and consume energy, but tossing out one system in favour of another system without more forethought and vision will potentially get us into bigger problems.
Take a deeper look and at who some of our partners are already.
