Yeah, RIGHT. And don't forget: Missile defense 'doesn't work anyway'. Your lefties have a very long streak of being WRONG about everything. It's NOT a coincidence...

TigerPaw,

Wrong.

The new numbers for Canada are not the "total hydrocarbons as reserves", but economically recoverable reserves. If you counted total reserves, the tar sands numbers would probably be much higher (more like a trillion barrels).
