Oil industry seeks break to cushion Kyoto costs: Alberta, not Ottawa, wanted to referee whether oil patch is meeting goals
Article Abstract:
The Canadian oil industry is writing off any Kyoto-related costs against royalties and taxes as it aims to reduce the blow of the greenhouse-gas impact in August 2005. The Kyoto accord aims to constrain the growth of greenhouse gases in several Western nations through 2 012, as a first step to deeper reductions later in that decade.
