 Green energy sector jobs surpass total oil sands employmentBusiness | 206789 hits | Dec 11 6:51 am | Posted by: BeaverFever  Canada�s green energy sector has grown so quickly and has become such an important part of the economy that it now employs more people than the oil sands.Commentsview comments in forum You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

That means the 23,700 people who work in green energy organizations outnumber the 22,340 whose work relates to the oil sands, the report says.
I'll call bullshit right there.
Someone ( most likely a greenie, they have no problem lying through their teeth ),
is really trying to pull a fast one.

As usual, your comments are 100% bluster and 0% fact.
Biorefinery products � 1,600
Power generation � 5,100
Smart grid and infrastructure � 3,200
Energy efficiency and building envelope � 8,100
Clean transportation � 5,700
It�s noteworthy that these are private sector jobs only�they do not include crown corporation jobs (think B.C. Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, Hydro Quebec to name a few), despite the fact that these companies are major clean energy producers and employers

I called bullshit on another site and found out it was Tides that had something to do with this little news nugget, and as of right now there are about working in the Oilsands extraction process and it is estimated that number will climb up to by 2018 or close to that date.
And no, I'm not going to go look for that again.
Just shows how delusional the Beav really is, or how gullible. One of the 2 or maybe both.

Ok, I'll do your homework for you, since you're obviously not capable.
The figure you're citing relates to people who work in the oil and gas sector generally - including people who do not work in the Oilsands (i.e. conventional oil and gas) and those who work in non-oil jobs like Truck drivers, IT, accountants, etc. but who happen to do so for a company that happens to be in the oil and gas sector.

It's really not that hard, unless you're looking for all the "unreported" workers.
The industry, which accounts for 15% of the country�s oil and gas industry, employed 20,000 people at the end of 2011.
�The oil sands sector entered 2012 with a healthy dose of optimism, with all indicators � notably stable oil prices and strong international investment � pointing to continued expansion,� said Cheryl Knight, Executive Director and CEO of the council. �Demand for more workers is being driven primarily by growth in the sector, however our research tells us that the supply of skilled workers remains very tight.�
But, the comparison Beaver quoted looked at green energy jobs for Canada, vs only Alberta oil sands jobs. If you Compare Canada green jobs to Canada oil jobs, the oil jobs would be much greater.

You know what Delwin, losing jobs in the first 2 weeks of Nov. in Alberta is as guaranteed as looking to the sky's and watching the great flocks of Canada Geese flying South in Nov. It's the end of the seasonal jobs.
I built highways for 25 years and for 25 years our season started the first Monday in May and ended Oct.31 It's not a biggie deal

Sorry I was off by a couple 1000 but I was pulling those out of my head, not out my ass. See how it works, you find numbers and I find numbers. I live here you don't, I'll go with mine. Thanks for coming out.
Oil sands related total Canadian employment (direct, indirect and induced), as a result of construction of new projects and the operation of new and existing projects, is expected to continue growing from the current level (2014) of 514,000 jobs to a peak of 802,000 jobs in 2028.

It takes more people to work in a subsidized industry to produce a fraction of the energy, value, and tax revenue of what the people in the oil industry produce.
That's not something to celebrate.
It's like celebrating how Beijing Automobile Works produces fewer vehicles than Toyota but with far more labor effort. It's asinine.

What don't you understand? Your figure includes oil and gas services- e.g. trucking companies hired to support activities in the oilsands. Most oil and gas employment (oilsands or otherwise) is actually in this "Services" sector.
The apples-to-apples comparisson of the people employed in energy producion is 23,700 people making energy from green tech and 22,340 making energy from oilsands.
Since when do we bestow laurels on inefficient industries?

Really? No subsidies to the oil industry, in both of our countries?
Not only does the oil industry still get more substantial subsidies, she said, it also eats up a good deal of the country�s diplomatic relations efforts � through the lobbying for the Keystone XL pipeline, for example.

I'm starting to question which method is more efficient in the scope of an entire society?
Yes, Toyota is a world leader in manufacturing efficiency, but something does need to be said for the societal efficiency of having all that extra labour employed and working via BAW.
