Aldyen Donnelly: The oil sands should be shut down, right?
No. This is a gasoline versus diesel fuel story.
Note that 100% of the transportation sector GHGs realized in Europe between 1990 and 2007 derive from the shift of the passenger vehicle fleet from gasoline (‘petrol") to ultra low sulphur diesel fuel.

Unfortunately, this is the corner that both BC and Ontario policy strategies appear to be based on—even though they are different policy sets at first glance.
