About 60-80% of full life cycle emissions result from driving/operating a vehicle; if only the extraction emissions (WTT) are examined, oil sands will deliver a relatively high value. Yet, coal-fired emissions in Alberta receive relatively little attention from environmental organizations and the public. Charpentier, A. Bergerson, J.

In September 2009, the G-20 announced a commitment to phase out inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption. For example, at peak oil price in 2008, Indonesia was spending 40% of its budget on transport fuel—more than health, education and infrastructure development combined. Earlier post.)
