Conventional fish oil supplements contain significantly more EPA than DHA (typically a 3:2 EPA: DHA ratio), but mounting research suggests that higher levels of DHA are optimal for recovery and anti-inflammatory, so you preferably need to look for a fish oil with something close to a 1:1 EPA: DHA ratio, and also ensure that it is in a natural trigylceride form and not the cheaper, less well - absorbed ethyl ester form.

Critics of the TransCanada pipeline have warned of potential spills in America's heartland as well as the climate impacts of allowing more tar sands oil, which has a higher carbon footprint than conventional sources, into the US and other markets.

As tar sands oil has a much larger carbon footprint than conventional oil, climate change legislation targeted by Prop 23 would limit California's imports of high - carbon fuels — fuels that would likely include toxic tar sands oil from Alberta.

Environmentalists did compliment Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's team for acknowledging this time around that oil mined from tar sands has significantly higher heat - trapping gas emissions than conventional oil used in the United States.

Despite these improvements, they noted, the CI of oil sands production (on a pathway - average basis) ranges from 12 to 24 % higher than CI values from conventional oil production.

Even with this new estimate it appears clear that the production of conventional oil can not grow much higher than it's today, perhaps not higher at all, and that the production will start to decline within 30 years, if not sooner, possibly it's already declining.

As indicated earlier, the fully allocated cost of electricity produced from non-hydro «renewable» sources such as wind and solar energy is almost always higher than the cost of electricity produced from «conventional» sources (coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear energy and hydropower).
