As for the Alberta tar sands, crude at $30 per barrel was supposed to make oil extraction viable.......strangely enough, now that crude is at $55 per barrel, an increase in extraction has not happened in the tar sands. I guess another urban legend bites the dust.

Yes $30 probably was to low of estimate, but the estimate was $30 years ago which would be more than that now even if it would not be $55. Also whatever price is needed ($60?, maybe $100? and in current dollars not future inflated dollars) it would have to be sustained for years before anyone made the big investment required.
