Tar Sands - Dirty Oil and the Future of the Continent

One of the more interesting books I've read recently is this one:

Tar Sands - Dirty Oil and the Future of the Continent by Andrew Nikiforuk

If you want to know what's wrong with the Tar Sands project, read this one.

Incidentally, Bloomberg had a short article on the amount of natural gas the tar sands uses.  It's astounding and outrageous.  Although natural gas is a fossil fuel, it's cleaner than the dirty stuff they're trying to produce in northern Alberta.  

A good number of takeaways from this book.  Read it.
