This is the government's Wild West energy plan: to ship as much raw bitumen and material out of the oil sands as is humanly possible, thereby forgoing all of the economic benefits that would come with actually upgrading the oil, at least to a state where it would look like a more conventional oil that we have traditionally seen, and then upgrading again and refining that oil into products that consumers would actually use.
Voici en quoi consiste le plan énergique du gouvernement qui est digne du Far West: expédier la plus grande quantité possible de bitume et d'autres produits bruts extraits des sables bitumineux, se privant ainsi des avantages économiques pouvant découler de la transformation du pétrole.
