Re: A bigger one is the assumption made by advocates of tar sands that oil prices will remain relatively stable.

Wrong... oil prices have skyrocketed since June 2003 when the article was written. Which makes the tagline all the more pertinent:

Should Saudi Arabia ever get too greedy, and keep prices in the stratosphere [*] for any length of time, marginal producers such as those in Alberta will come to the rescue. And, of course, developments in the far north of Canada should also put to rest the absurd but still oft-voiced claim that the world is about to run out of oil.

[*] At $50+/bbl, oil prices are not in the stratosphere... they are gravitating in the thermosphere!!
