Lets not forget ... through COSIA, this prize is funded by the Canadian oil industry. I don't care if individuals view this as simply disingenuous PR or a truly helpful effort. The fact is the Canadian oil industry is putting their money where their mouth is. 

Perhaps Tides and Greenpeace can put some of their vast wealth towards actually producing a helpful solutions rather than doing nothing more than complaining and having temper tantrums. Where are the Hollywood actors in funding emissions reduction projects and research?
