What are Oil Sands? Oil from Canada is in such abundance it can provide the United States with nearly 170 billion barrels of oil and remain our nation's biggest supplier of imported oil.
Canadian Oil Sands FAQs Canadian oil sands are a major source of energy to meet America's growing energy demands. Many Americans do not realize the United States already imports more oil from Canada than from any other country. Our North American neighbor currently supplies 21 percent of our imported oil, half of which comes from the oil sands of Canada.
Why Canadian Oil Sands? Oil sands from Canada will provide Nebraskans with the fuel to power their cars, trucks and tractors; pesticides to effectively grow crops; and asphalt to build and maintain roads.
Technology Makes It Possible Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technology is makingthe the abundance of Canadian oil sands possible.
Lower Input Costs A safe, reliable energy supply will provide Nebraska farmers, ranchers and manufacturers with a stable supply of energy -- that means less price volatility and lower input costs.
American Energy Security Importing oil from our allies and friends is not only good for our national security -- it's good for our financial security.
Sound, Reliable Energy Oil and natural gas play an essential role in the lives of Nebraskans. A steady supply, particularly from Canada would increase energy security, boost the state's economy, and multiple the number of jobs for hard working Nebraskans.
American Prosperity Canadian Oil Sands not only helps fuel Nebraska agriculture — it helps fuel American prosperity.
Other Energy Issues The United States' energy demand is projected to grow through 2030, and America is striving to meet its growing energy demands with all viable sources, including fossil fuels, renewables and alternative energy supplies.
Energy Taxes At a time when America needs economic stability and increased energy security, the government should not impose new taxes and fees on the oil and natural gas industry.
Domestic Access Access to friendly energy sources, such as from our Canadian neighbor, is necessary for the United States to meet our energy requirements. Increasing access to domestic sources of oil and natural gas is also integral to putting our nation on the road to economic recovery and to meeting the energy needs of American consumers.
EPA Overreach The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a regulatory agency whose mission is to enforce federal environmental laws aimed at protecting human health and the outdoors. Recently, however, the EPA has overreached its authority by advancing policies, absent congressional action, that could cost millions of jobs, hurt American consumers and our economy, and put American businesses at a competitive disadvantage globally.
