Biggest Global Energy Story Of The Day? EU Says Canadian Sands Oil No Worse Than Coal; Clears The Way For Canadian Oil Exports -- October 7,2014

Some dots starting to connect:

• President Obama kills the Keystone XL
• Kuwait buys into Canadian shale play (Duvernay)
• EU says Canadian sands oil no "dirtier" than coal

Opens the door to exports. Reuters is reporting:

A European Union plan to label tar sands oil as highly polluting in its fight against climate change has been abandoned after years of opposition led by major producer Canada.

A proposal published by the European Commission on Tuesday removes an obstacle to Canada exporting tar sands crude to Europe and comes at a time when tensions between the EU and top oil supplier Russia are running high. 

EU sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the desire for a trade deal with Canada had been a factor given the situation with Moscow.

So many story lines here, I won't even start. 

All politics?

Now we learn the two (2) degree temperature limit was "a political goal," so says the "father" of the warmists. Not even science; all politics. The link is to the New York Times.

Now, back to Europe. I think Europe is in more trouble than folks realize. There was talk that Germany would fall back into a recession -- that was a couple of weeks ago -- now the IMF forecasts EU growth to be even less than originally forecast.

I follow the "big stories" here. One of the big stories is Europe: Europe may become the only continent that requires imported energy to survive:

European Energy became a big story on May 18, 2013, when the EU Council President predicted that  Europe might become the only continent in the world to depend on imported energy.

May happen sooner than we thought.
