Dan, thank you and Pembina for being a honest critic. 90% of what we see in the blogosphere is wildly overstated impacts such as Mr. Gore's Prius-to-Hummer sound bite, as you put it.
But yes, let's look to the future. You forecast bad news. But we see a future all about lowering GHG intensities, especially in in situ drilling. You point out yourself that Suncor has cut GHG intensities by 45% - why would innovation and improvement like that suddenly stop?
We appreciate Pembina, and Pembina needs to keep pushing for improvement in oil sands development, because we and industry must stay focused on that.
The world is moving to green and renewable energies, but because it can't stop its need for oil today, we have to reduce and mitigate the damage of that development in the interim.
