Al Gore to face oil country crowd

Thank God. I swear we should FORCE all our energy executives to attend this event and tape their eyes open.

I just watched An Inconvenient Truth, it is a very, very pursuasive and impacting film.

As major players in the production of the greenhouse gases it is our ethical responsibilty to do everything we can to clean up the energy industry.

First, it starts with drastically reducing the impact of our current energy production, particularly oil sands.

The next step is to transform our economy in the long run to other forms of energy production that are clean. With the resources our companies and our government has from this industry we can and should be world leaders in change.

What happens if we don't lead that charge and make that transformation? The world will start demanding new energy sources - if it is not us that is on the leading edge, then our city and province will die.
