  • The Credibility Of Edwin Drake's Whaling Industry

    180 Words  | 1 Pages

    The petroleum market rose in 1859 after former rail director Edwin Drake successfully unearthed an oil well with his own oil drill. After this breakthrough, investors realized that oil sites made more financial sense than whaling voyages. Whaling was dangerous, time-consuming, and expensive—while often yielding no profit. But oil drilling was generally risk-free, would not cost anyone’s life, and was more likely to yield something profitable with the reliability of Drake’s oil drill. Consequently, many whaling ports lost their funding to oil sites, and kerosene replaced whale oil as America’s leading natural resource.

    The energy crisis began after OPEC seized oil production because of the, “anger at the United States for aiding Israel.” (Farber, 22) This caused a mass panic amongst Americans and resulted in long waits to get gas and constant fuel outages. Carter was extremely adamant that Americans reduce their consumption of fuel in order to reduce the extent of the energy crisis, at one point suggesting putting heavy penalizing taxes on non-fuel efficient vehicles. Political journalist Nicholas Lemann recalled, “[The energy crisis was] the automotive equivalent to the Depression’s bank runs.”

  • Impact Of Petro-Canada On The Canadian Economy

    422 Words  | 2 Pages

    Some might argue that the creation of Petro-Canada gave rise to huge economic growth in Alberta’s energy sector with their investments of tar sands. From other perspectives, however, one might believe it failed, and was destructive to Alberta and the rest of the country. Not only was it unsuccessful in controlling both domestic and foreign oil prices, it also left an irreversible damage on the environment. Brian Mulroney’s Conservative government, for example, criticize that there was little benefit in the low-price controls, taxes, and heavily incentivized explorations for petroleum, as it resulted in over-reliance of gas and oil. Since the recent merger with Suncor Energy, however, the company seems to be transitioning towards a new, more sustainable energy economy, including in the investments of renewable energy.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Keystone Pipeline

    1039 Words  | 5 Pages

    Because countries, especially the United States, rely immensely on a constant source of oil, maintaining that unceasing energy source is a form of national security (Slade 49). Instead of receiving oil from countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, who are the second and third leading suppliers of oil for the U.S., the country would receive its major crude oil imports from their neighboring country (“Keystone” 1). The State Department concluded that it was in the interest of the country because it provided additional supplies which would make up for the decline of imports from the United States’ other key suppliers (Kalen 12). The building of the pipeline is also argued as extremely beneficial to economy. TransCanada stated that this project would create twenty thousand new jobs and seven billion dollars in economic incentive (“Keystone” 1).

    In response to high oil prices in the late 1970s due to political and military turmoil in the oil producing Middle-east that was crippling the Canadian economy (Ontario and Quebec), Pierre Trudeau 's government implemented the policy in order to regulate oil prices and keep them low. The program had three main goals that included: “reducing Canada 's dependence on foreign oil, by encouraging greater self-sufficiency in domestic supplies; redistributing oil wealth via taxes and resource royalties, from Alberta towards the federal government and consumers; and gaining greater Canadian ownership of the oil industry.” (Bregha,2006). This hurt oil-producing provinces such as Alberta whose economy depends on oil. Because natural resources are a provincial jurisdiction, Alberta felt that the federal government was intruding on what is theirs and stealing their wealth.

    Controversy Surrounding the Keystone XL Pipeline To build or not to build, this choice will impact the relationship between the US and Canada and determine the level of dependence the US will have on countries that are not so friendly. “TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL Pipeline would transport oil sands crude from Canada and shale oil produced in North Dakota and Montana to a market hub in Nebraska for delivery to Gulf Coast refineries. The pipeline would consist of 875 miles of 36-inch pipe with the capacity to transport 830,000 barrels per day” (Parfomak, Pirog, Luther and Vann 4). The construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline would strengthen the United States economy, provide energy security and have minimal environmental impact. “The Keystone XL project would create $1.1 trillion in private capital investment at no
