Lower prices for Canada's shale oil and Canada's economy, the impact in 2013-2016
02/20/2009
The significant impact on the Canadian economy and on Alberta of the lower prices for Canada's shale oil. Discounts for Canada's shale oil relative to Brent crude benchmark international oil pricesand U.S. benchmark price range from 20 to 50%. Canada's shale oil was Dat $80 per barrel in April 2013, compared to $94 for U.S. benchmark price and $106 for Brent international crude oil price. This has reduced GDP in Canada for 2012 by 0.4% for the second half of 2012, according to Canada's central bank. GDP growth is sluggish at 1.8% for 2012. The impact in lower government tax and royalty revenues is significant for Alberta.

The proposed U.S.-Canada partnership for the Keystone XL Pipeline project
01/07/2009
This would bring an additional 1.1 million barrels of Canadian oil to the U.S. from Alberta oil sands. The project is being held up by the Obama administration. The Energy Department gave its approval in February 2011, but it is being held up for further environmental studies. Advances in environmental protection for oil sands development have reduced the footprint of the processes used in production of oil. This would reduce imports from the Middle East and have a favorable impact on oil prices.

03/19/2015
With the sanctions in Russia, a ban in France, a moratorium in Germany, and poor results in Eastern Europe, combined with low oil prices, most of the shale exploration efforts of western oil companies are being suspended in 2015. Canada, the U.S. China, and Argentina are so far the only four places with positive results for shale exploration.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
