Neeraj........" Any other ideas for reducing our middle east oil consumption?"......


Here is a bit of info on the Alberta Tar Sands.
But, here is the amazing part of the story: The Athabasca Oil Sands are said to be the world's largest oil deposit. They may contain as much as 1.7 trillion barrels of oil! That's 1,700 billion barrels!! Far greater than the Middle East's reserves! Perhaps as much as one trillion barrels will be recoverable! Enough to keep things running for a while I'd think!

Alberta has the largest oil sands resources in the world; approximately 300 billion barrels of oil are expected to be ultimately recoverable.
