Energy Independence: No More ‘Love, Trust And Pixie Dust’

摘要

At a recent stop in Denver to address the Petroleum Club, Gary Doer, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., outlined three priorities for achieving energy independence for North America. “When you reflect back 20 years ago on the lines for gasoline, the meetings every month of OPEC where the price of gas kept going up even though supply was not being provided to the most important customers, it brings us to the point of opportunity that we’ve talked about, thought about, dreamed about, never acted on but can today, in 2014. “We are competing with OPEC—forget the love, trust and pixie dust—we’re competing for customers in the U.S., and we are taking it to the next level in proclaiming in North America that we can have energy independence in our neighborhood.” He thinks this is possible within the next five years.
