The energy industry has played an important role in Canada’s economic growth. Over the next two decades, production from the oil sands is expected to rise from 1.3 million barrels a day to 4 million barrels a day. More than $200 billion will be invested in the oil sands for new production over the next two decades. T his will create jobs and economic benefits not only in Alberta, but also in every region of Canada. For example, Fort McMurray today is the top employer in the region with many available jobs in oil sands and supporting industries experiences the economy booms. Fort McMurray attracts people from all corners of Canada and the world because of well- paid jobs, high income and stable work.
ReplyDeleteWhile production in oil sands has significantly increased, water used by oil sands mining operations continues to decrease, global warming pollution continues to increase .Land, that used for operations, has been distracted and wildlife has been harmed. Environmental impact is negative and huge.
In my opinion, both a healthy environment and a strong economy are very important for us, so the Government of Alberta should create strict laws and regulations to protect environment, to minimize environmental impact on water resources, to reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and reclaiming land that was disturb. The Alberta Government should continually monitoring changes in the environment / the health status of Aboriginal people. Also, it is Governmetn's obligation to find innovative and integrated solutions to delivering environmentally responsible energy ,advanced technologies .In the same time it is Government’s responsibility to" keep their eye" on economic growth,so Government and businesses must work cooperatively together for the needs of all Canadians in the issues of energy .the economy and the environment.
