The Centre\u2019s website is full of cheery fluff about oil and gas. News broke last week that the Centre spent $22 million on advertising campaigns in Canada, the US, Europe, and the UK to promote the wonders of Alberta hydrocarbons. A fair guess is that it will do so again this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albertans can\u2019t say for sure because the Centre was created as a private corporation owned by the Alberta government, with three cabinet ministers comprising its board of directors, making it impervious to freedom of information requests. Funding comes from monies collected through the province\u2019s industrial emitter carbon tax, called TIER, not government\u2019s general revenues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former United Conservative Party Premier Jason Kenney proposed it in 2019 as a \u201crapid response\u201d to oil and gas \u201cmisinformation\u201d on social media and in news reporting. The enterprise has always felt counter-intuitive. Can\u2019t Big Oil fund its own propaganda? What about peak oil demand, which the International Energy Agency says will likely happen by 2030? Is the middle of the climate crisis really a good time for a provincial government to be pimping oil and gas?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Centre never publishes outright fabrications. But, to an energy journalist familiar with most of the stories on its site, the jiggery pokery with context, and even basic evidence, is alarming. Canadians should believe the energy war room about as much as they should trust door-to-door sales people. Make no mistake, the Centre is peddling propaganda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the Alberta oil and gas industry is not committed to environmental excellence. Nor is it \u201cethical,\u201d as Alberta\u2019s tired old narrative claims. You can find the receipts for my argument in Energi Media\u2019s Unethical Oil investigative series. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/markham-on-energy\/unethical-oil-and-the-regulator-albertas-shameful-secret\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part 1: Alberta\u2019s Shameful Secret<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/unethical-oil\/unethical-oil-part-2-albertas-orphan-well-crisis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part 2: Alberta\u2019s Orphan Well Crisis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Part 3 about the oil sands is well underway and should be published in late September or early October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live outside Alberta (or Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada\u2019s other two oil-producing provinces), why should you care? There are plenty of reasons, but let\u2019s focus on two.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dash and Dine, Oil and Gas Style<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60149\" style=\"width: 398px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-60149\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM.png 722w, https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM-678x509.png 678w, https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM-326x245.png 326w, https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Screenshot-2023-07-09-at-9.38.37-AM-80x60.png 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Source: Feb. 28, 2018 presentation by Robert Wadsworth, Alberta Energy Regulator.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first is that the Alberta oil and gas industry\u2019s environmental liabilities (e.g. orphan wells, oil sands tailings ponds, etc.) total somewhere in the postal code of $300 billion. I argued in Unethical Oil Part 2 that the industry has no intention of paying that bill. No oil company CEO has ever said this bit out loud, but we can infer from decades of past behaviour and where companies are telling investors they plan to allocate future capital (dividends, share buybacks, cost reductions, emissions mitigation) that cleaning up their mess is not high on their agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the companies refuse to (or can\u2019t because oil consumption and revenue are declining beginning in the 2030s) clean up the mess, there is almost no security set aside to pay for it. The next wallet in line belongs to the taxpayer. Alberta alone can\u2019t possibly pay the tab. That leaves Canada on the hook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be clear, if you don\u2019t live in Alberta, I mean your wallet. How do you feel about oil companies raping and pillaging the environment for a hundred years, then sending Canadian taxpayers a portion of the clean up bill?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Climate Change and Canada&#8217;s GHG emissions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second reason is climate change. The oil and gas industry makes up 26 per cent of Canada\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. Despite extravagant claims by industry and the Alberta government, oil and gas emissions are not falling. Since the oil sands makes up three-quarters of Alberta oil production, let\u2019s start there.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60449\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60449\" src=\"https:\/\/energi.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-11-at-10.13.38-AM-e1694452468926.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"312\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Alberta accounts for 12% of Canada&#8217;s population, but 38% of its emissions. Source: Government of Canada, Greenhouse Gas National Inventory.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average emissions-intensity of a barrel of Alberta oil sands crude is 68 kg CO2e per barrel, about twice the North American average. Some oil sands crude is incredibly dirty at 140 kg CO2e per barrel. Emission-intensity has fallen over the past two decades, but absolute emissions have risen because output has risen. This is why the oil sands consistently account for 11 per cent of all of Canada\u2019s GHGs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pathways Alliance, the oil sands trade association, says the sector aspires to be net-zero by 2050.
