The Slick Alberta Moonscape
Ah the joys of tar sand oil production.
In the news Wednesday it was reported how 500 ducks were killed by flying into a Syncrude tailings pond. Now it's not that I have a overwhelming love for ducks (they're alright, I like 'em well enough but they're no bees), but this event does highlight the environmental disaster that is oil sands reclamation.
Here's my proposal - let's get a handle on our greenhouse gas targets and figure out how to cleanly get the oil. If it takes until oil is $200 a barrel I don't think that's a bad thing.
