In this GMF podcast,
Transatlantic Academy Fellow Stacey VanDeveer
interviews Andrew Leach, associate professor at the
University of Alberta, and Steven Mufson, staff
writer for the Washington Post, about the debate
surrounding the Keystone XL Pipeline. From what was
considered more of a "sleeper" issue, the Keystone
XL Pipeline evolved into what Mufson describes as
something that "has really crystallized the
questions about environment, energy security, energy
prices, and business decisions." Leach explains the
possible impact of the Keystone Pipeline from an
American and Canadian perspective, while both
participants give their thoughts on what this debate
will mean in the upcoming U.S. presidential
election.
The REGov
workshop is designed to foster constructive
encounters and fruitful exchange between scientists
and practitioners with an active interest in the
environmental dimensions of regional governance.
If we
were to actually use less fossil fuel, what would
happen to today's petro states? "If the oil revenues
dry up or even decline a little bit you might have a
real serious crisis," said Stacy VanDeveer of the
University of New Hampshire, during an interview
with ECSP. We spoke to VanDeveer following his
presentation at the Wilson Center event, "Backdraft:
The Conflict Potential of Climate Mitigation and
Adaptation."
As the
United States debates domestic cap-and-trade

policy responses to climate change. He discusses the
potential for using NAFTA for carbon dioxide
emissions trading and talks about interaction
between the public and private sectors on climate.
