The Durango Trend – small dead animals

We have Black Gold South … Black Gold West… and now Black Gold North … 800 kilometers of it.

But but, the world just has! to be running out of fossil fuels. You know, Peak Oil and all that.
Because if it isn’t! running out, what will happen to all the renewable energy investors? And the electric car buffs? And Liz May’s career? And Dirty Dalton?
There will be hell to pay when they realize they have been duped by the media and professors and Hollywood and the United Nations.

Don’t forget Black Gold Northwest:

deeper than oilsands though.
get ready for a collective whine from the greenies.

We don’t need no stinking giant fans.

Potash, Uranium, Oil, Gas, Coal . . .
Should be able to fund “Equalization” transfers to Quebec for decades.

Obama will be verrry unhappy. Sask. is the 57th state you know.

Drill, Baby, Drill!!

Pretty soon the lefties can start bashing Saskatchewan along with Alberta.

Ron, don’t forget the tulip investors, they’re still waiting for their bail-out. Or rather, their descendants are: “in-need-of-bail-out” is inherited amongst those who will not learn from their mistakes in the same way that “refugee” status can be inherited if you belong to a culture that doesn’t know how to say “we lost”.

Thick intercepts over large areas of high grade thermal coal, shallow enough to be open pit mined. Sweet!

That’s GREAT NEWS! I’m glad you have a viable source of energy for the next 40 years or so, Congratulations….that is unless your government takes away your ability to mine and utilize these valuable resources.

Orlin – No danger of that happening with our present Provincial government.

Woot!! Woot!! Woot!!
Good for Hudson Bay!! Good for Saskatchewan!!!

After the “drill baby drill” hopefully it is dig baby dig.

But,but,but…you want to turn Saskatchewan into a moonscape???Like Fort Mac?? Never mind Fort Mac has the largest herd of bison in the world and has won awards for reclamation of the land.
But of course all those new coal plants in China are actually just tulip plants,not CO2 producers. Save a polar bear,beat a greenie.

When you combine the size of the coal discovery with the work being done at University of Texas Arlington where they are now using a solvent process to refine coal into gasoline and diesel fuel at $38/ barrel equivilant it bodes very well for the future of Saskatchewan. If only the citisens can resist the urge to return to the good old days of the NDP. When Toronto and Quebec begin the attack and try to shut down resource development in Saskatchewan you are welcome to join those of us in Alberta who want out.

You’re covering what I’ve been pointing out from my vantage point in the bowels of the natural gas biz: North American discoveries show over 250 YEARS of natural gas reserves here in the US and Canada.
Companies spent millions on plants to gasify liquid natural gas from overseas because ten years ago it looked like we were on our last legs for natural gas. Now those plants are almost idle because domestic gas is bountiful and cheaper to get out of the ground here than it is to bring it in by ship.

Now -that- is a big freakin’ buncha coal. Handy to a rail line I see.
You know the Maritimes is also sitting on a huge whack of coal too. Brown coal to be sure, but it still burns.

The Phantom- The good news is that that’s the rail line to the tidewater Port of Churchill. Can it get much better?

Snagglepuss, it could be a teensy bit better. If global warming was real that coal could go through the North West Passage to China! Woo!
As it is,all that lovely coal will get sold to the sorry, sad-sack Europeans who will whine about greenie concerns as they burn it.
But for $60.00 a tonne plus shipping, I guess we can tolerate some whining.

At this point these increasing discoveries of massive energy resources, in North America, are building up into a tsunami which will engulf the enviros like King Canute’s chair.

I am cheering for Sask. up here in the Yukon. The Yukon has no people and lots of resources but we have a dead beat, far left territorial gument – the territory bilks you southerners for 2 billion in transfer payments – for 30,000 people, half of whom are deemed First Nation thus Federal responsibility; on a separate transfer sheet – Why is no one squawking about this luxury welfare depot? As a Yukoner, I am embarrassed but the newbies up here love the big wages the special perks for fast medicare (without premiums of any nature) the Northern living allowance, the free trips all over Canada, free drugs, teeth and eye glasses for those over 65…..the dishwasher in the hospital earns 23.45 per hour plus perks…all on your dime.
I grew up in Sask and on my Mom and Dad’s old place are three capped wells..courtesy of the CCF. My Uncles still own our old place but they do not own the mineral rights. I hope that it will amount to big $$$ someday though; just for my Dad’s memory. Dad hated the CCF and it’s ugly spawn the NDP.

Americans Prioritize Energy Over Environment for First Time.
Americans are more likely to say the U.S. should prioritize development of energy supplies than to say it should prioritize protecting the environment, the first time more have favored energy production over environmental protection in this question’s 10-year history.
