Haro
Strait
The controversial issue of sending more
tankers full of dilbit from Alberta through the Georgia and Haro Straits on
their way to Asia is causing much disagreement between the provincial and
federal governments.
Negotiations have included the promise of
greatly improved clean-up capabilities (the silk purse) to deal with any spills (sow's ears) that may occur in the years before the globally sustainable post-carbon economy
kicks in. Retro net zero, or retro-fitting existing homes so they are
significantly more energy efficient is another silk purse possibility.
