text: Canada's engineering and innovation in the oil sands has been world class, economically productive and vital for tax production.  Reclamation and restoration of these deposits is active, even aggressive in places.  The net CO2 produced per barrel of oil sands crude, while slightly greater up to refining is eclipsed by the CO2 production/per barrel of US sweet crude from fracturing when the huge amount of CO2 from methane flaring is added, never mind fugitive gas.  
  
  US gas flaring has increased from 100 million CU Ft in 2003 to about 300 million cu ft in 2015 ( a little lower after oil price declines till now).  In contrast, From 1996 to 2014, there was a 63 per cent reduction of natural gas flared in Alberta.

  So what do you want Dante1969?  Well regulated, productive energy from Alberta or hugely increasing oil+gas fractured across the USA leading to massive flared methane volumes? wake up!
