Daniel Yergin, author of "The Prize" and chairman of IHS CERA, gave a lunch talk in Calgary calling for Alberta to better educate people and institutions in the US about the importance of the oil sands as a source of energy and the improving environmental performance of the industry. He said the industry and Albertan government should do more to dispel inaccurate portrayals, such as claims that oil sands operations are much more carbon intensive (he claims they release only 5 to 15% more carbon than conventional oil sources).
