Kelley Cryderman interview with Satya Das on outcomes of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting in Copenhagen also published in Vancouver Sun.

"In the meantime, it looks like Alberta may be headed for a final showdown with the big oil giants anyway. There are new innovators and some very vocal dissenters rising up to do battle with these powerful corporations. People like Satya Das who has just published "Green Oil", a book he describes as an "owner's manual" to help Albertans and Canadians make decisions about their $15-trillion oil sand resource."

"Satya Das is no conspiracy theorist. He does not blame the government’s oil sands approach, or the province’s explosive economic growth and world’s second-lowest oil royalties, on an industrial-political establishment. That charge he leaves to radical environmental groups. Instead, he blames timidity among politicians."
