It has backed the Commission's plan to prop up the price of a ton of carbon by withdrawing an oversupply of credits from the market. Carbon trading is one of the major EU policies designed to combat climate change.

The rapid development of unconventional oil and gas resources, also known as "oil sands,' in Alberta has turned that province into an engine of economic growth in Canada, and has led to controversy in the U.S. Domestically, Alberta is perhaps best known as the origin of the controversial Keystone-XL Pipeline, which would transport...
