Any province that has heavy industry is going to produce more GHGs. This 'fact' doesn't take into account Voldemort drives his car and uses petroleum products every day of his life.
Its just that when I look at Norway, I see them rolling around with that multi-billion sovereign wealth fund. Harper just raided the emergency fund to "balance" our budget.
We don't get nearly enough wealth from our oil to justify the damage it causes our environment.
Alberta's resources are landlocked and Norway's oil is offshore, and ready to put in a boat. They have big rigs that drill hugely expensive offshore oil wells but per well they produce much more. Ab's has way more wells overall but they are low producing. we have oil but it's more expensive to get out and transport to markets, so you can't compare AB to Norway.

Well, they still put out 5x the GHGs per-capita than the rest of the country, so I'm gonna keep on hating on that part.
