as schools and hospitals. And it can be done in a
way that lessens the impact on the environment and
changes the way people look at fossil fuels and the
oil industry. He’s also hoping to create intergenera-
tional jobs for Albertans that will protect their way
of life. Making the low CO
2
fuels the world market
needs from a high CO
2
starting point is all part of
the challenge. “That’s what protects our future,” he
said.
“We’re going to be using fossil fuels for a long time.
To me, the most likely outcome is how can I re-
duce the CO
2
cost of those fuels to the minimum
and whoever has the best CO
2
footprint is going to
win,” MacGregor explained. “We’re not finished yet.
There’s other things we can do, and we’re looking at
them right now.”
