With natural gas in abundance, prices fall and the stranglehold by energy companies like Russia's Gazprom loosens. OPEC, environmentalists, and communities throughout North America are fighting hard to stop fracking, and Levant debunks their motivations and arguments, while arguing that fracking's benefits outweigh its costs, even environmentally. With Ethical Oil, Levant completely changed the debate surrounding Canada's oil sands. In this timely and controversial book he provides desperately needed perspective.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599098028305,"sku":"GOR008054949","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0771046448.jpg?v=1751295527"},{"product_id":"ethical-oil-book-ezra-levant-9780771046438","title":"Ethical Oil","description":"In this controversial argument with those who offer their support to the anti-oil sands movement, Levant asks hard-hitting questions: With the oil sands easily accessible, is it ethically responsible to import oil from other countries, such as Mexico, Russia and Sudan? How should carbon emissions be weighed against human rights violations in Saudi Arabia? He dispels common myths about them; examines what would happen if America stopped buying oil from Canada; investigates the reality of environmental protection; and exposes the role of the media.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49676893258001,"sku":"CIN077104643XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50364773925137,"sku":"CIN077104643XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52631713382673,"sku":"GOR007216657","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/077104643X.jpg?v=1750702379"},{"product_id":"ethical-oil-book-ezra-levant-9780771046414","title":"Ethical Oil","description":"\u003cb\u003eCanada's no. 1 defender of freedom of speech and the bestselling author of\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eShakedown\u0026gt;\u003c\/i\u003emakes the timely and provocative case that when it comes to oil, ethics matter just as much as the economy and the environment\u003ci\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2009, Ezra Levant's bestselling book\u0026gt;\u003cb\u003eShakedown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003erevealed the corruption of Canada's human rights commissions and was declared the most important public affairs book of the year.

While many North Americans may be aware of the financial and environmental price we pay for a gallon of gas or a barrel of oil, Levant argues that it is time we consider ethical factors as well. With his trademark candor, Levant asks hard-hitting questions: With the oil sands at our disposal, is it ethically responsible to import our oil from the Sudan, Russia, and Mexico? How should we weigh carbon emissions with human rights violations in Saudi Arabia? And assuming that we can't live without oil, can the development of energy be made more environmentally sustainable? In\u0026gt;\u003cb\u003eEthical Oil\u003c\/b\u003e, Levant exposes the hypocrisy of the West's dealings with the reprehensible regimes from which we purchase the oil that sustains our lifestyles, and offers solutions to this dilemma.
