Alberta Premier Jason Kenney takes every opportunity, no matter how crass, to shill for increased oil and gas exports. This time it&#8217;s the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Setting aside the Premier&#8217;s cold-blooded exploitation of a humanitarian crisis, there is one overwhelming reason to resist the push for more development: Alberta\u2019s hydrocarbons are unethical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alberta simply hasn\u2019t earned the right to export more oil and gas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-57951\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2022-03-02-at-11.10.48-AM-e1646248322671.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"251\" \/>Kenny often parrots the \u201cethical oil\u201d line made famous by alt-right activist Ezra Levant, arguing that Alberta oil should be preferred over hydrocarbons from \u201ctyrannical dictatorships\u201d like Russia and Saudi Arabia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alberta energy war room even created a bizarre \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadianenergycentre.ca\/the-2021-tyranny-index-for-oil-and-gas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tyranny index<\/a>\u201d to bolster this specious argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the case for Alberta oil and gas being unethical?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average emissions-intensity of bitumen is 69 kg of CO2e per barrel, one of the highest of any global crude (Europe\u2019s average is 18 kg and Norway\u2019s is 9 kg). Producers have struggled for years to reduce that intensity, with limited success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57948\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2022-03-02-at-11.03.10-AM-e1646247828393.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"273\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: The GHG intensity of Canadian oil sands production: A new analysis, IHS MarkIt, 2020.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 37 oil sands tailings ponds contain 1.3 trillion litres of toxic material and some of the ponds are leaking. On paper, Alberta regulations require operators to reclaim the ponds, in practice only $900 million has been taken as surety against an estimated cost of $31 billion. And after decades of research, producers still have not devised a way to economically remediate the ponds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The methane leakage rate of Alberta natural gas production is almost certainly above three per cent, the threshold for gas to be more climate-positive than coal. Accurate measurement of methane leaks has until recently been difficult, making industry and government data unreliable. The International Energy Agency recently noted that methane leaks are 70 per cent higher than governments are reporting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inactive and orphan wells are a serious problem in Alberta. Plenty of responsible operators follow the rules, but some unscrupulous companies do not. And the Alberta Energy Regulator and the provincial government seem reluctant to rein in the bad actors. As a consequence, landowners, municipalities, and taxpayers are saddled with unfair burdens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57947\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screenshot-2021-11-01-at-1.02.18-PM-e1646247211340.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"331\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the oil and gas sector is the biggest contributor (26%) to Canada\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. The Canadian government expects oil production to grow another 900,000 barrels per day by 2030. Historically, as long as supply increases, emissions have not fallen. The evidence suggests that stricter government emissions regulations for oil and gas production will probably not have much effect for many years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can a rational person conclude that Alberta oil and gas is ethical?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that in 2019 I wrote \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/albertaviews.ca\/new-alberta-advantage-technology-policy-future-oil-sands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New Alberta Advantage: Technology, policy, and the future of the oil sands<\/a>,\u201d in which I argued that oil sands producers had embraced climate science and policy, thereby earning the right to continue producing as long as there is demand for bitumen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My argument is no longer valid. With the exception of Suncor, the only company planning to reduce emissions (35%) by 2030, the industry is dragging its feet. To make matters worse, the oil companies are asking Canadian taxpayers to foot $50 billion of the cost to reach net-zero by 2050, at a time when they are earning record profits, which they are giving back to shareholders as fast as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not an argument to &#8220;phase out&#8221; or &#8220;dismantle&#8221; Alberta oil and gas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is an argument for the Premier and the CEOs to finally acknowledge the enormity of the problem and to clean up the mess. Sooner rather than later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the Canadian oil and gas sector wants public support for more exports and the infrastructure to get its product to market, then the industry has to earn it. The CEOs could start by replacing the Alberta Premier as their most visible pitchman. Then it can get serious about addressing the reasons why its products are unethical. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until it does, expanding exports should be off the table. In fact, perhaps the time has come to consider the Canadian oil and gas sector&#8217;s greatest fear: a cap on production.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Kenney using Ukraine tragedy to shill for more pipelines is despicable Will it never end?
