Staff of the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has posted its calculation of the average 2012 annual carbon intensity of crudes supplied to California refineries. All crude oil produced in and offshore of California is assumed to be refined in California. Crude from the oil sands in Canada was headed by a carbon intensity of 24.49

The US State Department has issued a Presidential Permit to Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership to enable construction of the Alberta Clipper pipeline for the transport of crude oil from the Canadian oil sands to US refineries. This week, the RFA happened to issue two pieces, each touching on the impact of oil sands production.

The WEO finds that the extraordinary growth in oil and natural gas output in the United States will mean a sea-change in global energy flows. barely rises in OECD countries, although there is a pronounced shift away from oil, coal (and, in some countries, nuclear) towards natural gas and renewables. Oil demand reaches 99.7

In the last quarter of 2014, in the face of possible oversupply, Saudi Arabia abandoned its traditional role as the global oil market’s swing producer and therefore it role as unofficial guarantor of existing ($100+ per barrel) prices. The Saudis obviously miscalculated the degree to which their shift would negatively impact oil prices.

Average values for WTW GHG emissions for oil sands and other crudes, tight boundary. When the oil sands products refined in the United States are considered—a mixture of oil sands and lower-carbon blending components—the GHG emissions are, on average, 9% higher than the average crude processed in the US.

In only singling out biofuels in their analyses of indirect effects, both EPA and California have overlooked the enormous secondary impacts of our continued dependence on oil. Accompanying the statement was a picture of oil wells burning in Iraq in 1991. This was accompanied by a picture of convoys entering Iraq from Kuwait.

Aren’t we just exchanging one nonrenewable resource for another? I liken electric grid and renewable to the economic and political and military fiasco of the Iraq war. Oil is the alternative. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? There are only 3 or 4 countries with lithium.

Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil. Why not ake it all the way and spend 1 year of Iraq on retrofitting every home in America with nano solar. No more Big OIL - think of the extra money stimulating the economy! Utilities could avoid building more dirty peaking power plants.
