Five Poll Results That Will Cause Oil Execs Some Headaches<\/a><\/h3>\n

Alberta Oil<\/em>\u00a0magazine just published its\u00a0National Survey on Energy Literacy<\/a>, the culmination of 1,396 online interviews of a representative sample of Canadians conducted by Leger.<\/p>\n

The results are particularly interesting coming from\u00a0Alberta Oil<\/em><\/a>, a magazine destined for the desks of the energy sector’s senior executives and decision-makers.<\/p>\n

Summing up the survey’s findings about “The Issues,”\u00a0Alberta Oil editors write<\/a>\u00a0that opposition to energy projects is “not just for West Coast hippies anymore.”<\/p>\n

Indeed. There are quite a few nuggets in the survey’s findings that are probably causing a headache or two in Calgary’s corner offices this week. We round up the Top 5.<\/p>\n

1) Opposition to the proposed\u00a0Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline<\/a>\u00a0is just as serious as opposition to Enbridge’s proposed\u00a0Northern Gateway pipeline<\/a>\u00a0— if not more so, according to the survey. What’s more, the more highly educated citizens are, the less likely they are to support Trans Mountain or Northern Gateway. Hmph, maybe the anti-pipeline crowd isn’t all unemployed hippies after all?<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Fewer than one-in-ten post-secondary graduates<\/a>\u00a0find oil and gas industry associations credible and trustworthy when it comes to carbon emissions. That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise given that industry associations like the\u00a0Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers have fought new greenhouse gas regulations<\/a>\u00a0and successfully lobbied to\u00a0weaken Canada’s environmental laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n
