The Alberta tar sands are big, but even the Canadian government does not project them paying out much more than three million barrels a day when they reach maximum production in five or ten years, and the process will probably poison all the groundwater east of the Canadian Rockies.How many more examples do we need of people selling out the future of a region just so it can be stripped of a resource needed for our unsustainable lifestyle? Who are the real "eco-terrorists"?
