At Last! Too Dirty to Touch
Well here’s a turn around.
Alberta’s decision to squeeze oil out of the sands is turning against them. Even the US are saying they won’t buy it and Alberta are having to re-think their decision in view of the bad press.
Labelled the dirtiest oil on the planet, oil from these tar sands takes three times as much energy to extract. Until recent times it would have been considered unviable. But the pendulum is swinging away from them yet again as the destruction of habitat for millions of migrating birds is making the price of this oil just a little too high for people to stomach.
