Report: Alberta Oil Sands Most Destructive Project on Earth
I love it when profit is more important then practicality.
Some of the choice details…
- At least 90% of the fresh water used in the oil sands ends up in ends up in tailing ponds so toxic that propane cannons are used to keep ducks from landing in them.
- Processing the oil sands uses enough natural gas in a day to heat 3 million homes in Canada.
But hey, gotta keep those Cadillac Escalades running…. no matter what the cost.
