General manager and head of the executive body of Total Christophe de Marjuri said on Saturday that high energy prices are helpful in dissuading people from the waste that causes pollution of the environment and make the extraction possible from various sources such as northern Canada.

De Marjuri was speaking at a conference on global security said that decline that has occurred in recent times to the price of oil may have a negative impact if people stop to see energy as a rare resource.

 
He told the conference held in Geneva / I’m not defending high prices per se. / In his speech on climate change / the only way to change the way people act is that the high price of energy to some extent. /

 
De Marjuri that if energy costs less down significantly, the consumers might become less interested in fuel efficiency and other actions aimed at reducing carbon emissions which scientists says that have linked to the more heat on earth.
He said / / this message will be lost completely and therefore a source of regret. / /
price of oil futures contracts cut down of short period to U.S. $ 100 a barrel before closing at NYMEX conclusion in the 18 .101$ a barrel because of fears of damage of hurricane AEK on oil production and refineries.
De Marjuri , who signed agreements this month his company to expand its activities in Syria said that the low prices made the extraction activities of the relatively high cost of the territory of Alaska and northern Alberta, Canada less attractive than they were when prices approached from the peak.
While the development of clean energy technologies may have a more important role in the future De Marjuri stressed that finding reliable sources of oil and gas must remain a priority concern at this time.
He said / / There is definitely a need for further growth of oil and gas production is why we in the medium term we are still interested in energy to produce enough oil. / /
He added / / The first duty is to produce energy.. Clean energy, but more importantly the production of energy. / /
