  • Boasting reserves (174-billion barrels) second only in size to Saudi Arabia, the tarsands have placed Canada in the remarkable position of holding nearly 60% of the investable oil reserves in the world. This explains why Imperial, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total and other energy multinationals have committed nearly $100 billion in a feverish rush to build as many as 51 projects in the sands over the next decade. Not surprisingly, stocks in 10 major firms with key tarsand investments gained a whopping 370% in value between July 2003 and April 2006. "In the big picture, deepwater oil and the oilsands are the only game left in town," says CIBC chief economist Jeffrey Rubin.

      Video The video shows staff at Chevron think that things need to be done about the big issues too. They show that they are on top of these issues by cleverly pairing the issue posed by the "average building contractor" with the solution that Chevron is putting theirprofits to good use. They are "pumping $21 billion into local economies, small business, and communities.

      Parallelism. Shows a Chevron engineer and an "average building contracter" talking and AGREEING on the same issue.
  • Some say our profits are big, but our investments are equally big, too. So, yes, we do put our profits to good use.

      Hyperbole or is it? I would say this is a hyperbole. Although it is true that we will need this energry, it is not realistic to expect that we will be able to harness energy down to the level of every molecule.

      Too many spaces between these words; takes away from credibility.
  • The Peace River coalfield, which extends for 400 km through the northeast part of British Columbia, was first discovered in 1793. Due to lack of infrastructure, mining in the early days was limited to small operations serving local needs. The expansion of steel production in the mid-1960's, led by the Japanese steel mills, stimulated exploration for metallurgical (coking) coal on a global scale. Within ten years the majority of the land within the Peace River coalfield with coal mining potential had been acquired and explored by various mining and oil companies.
