I'm enjoying the energy discussion.And when someone tells you the oil resource is limited to several decades at best, save your breath and find another ear. suncore.org According to Petroleum Economist, "Although tar sands occur in more than 70 countries, the bulk is found in Canada in four regions: Athabasca, Wabasca, Cold Lake, Peace River; together covering an area of some 77,000 km2".(1) In fact, the reserve considered to be technically recoverable is estimated at 280-300 Gb (billions of barrels), larger than the Saudi Arabia oil reserves estimated at 240 Gb. The total reserves for Alberta, including oil not recoverable using current technology, are estimated at 1,700-2,500 Gb. Jessie Ventura had a great observation in his book, Do I Stand Alone. He said have you ever noticed how many young adults start out very liberal in their thinking, pro government intervention and anti business.... He further observes that many become more conservative as they forge a path through the hard knocks of earning a living.
