Stable supply is more important than low price IMO. Besides, the cost of extracting the Alberta oil will go down as the extraction technology improves.

You beat me to it. The more we produce from oil sands, the more we will find ways to reduce the costs of doing so. The important thing is to get started.

That goes for promising renewables sources too.
