OT The scary thing about the tar sands is the energy and water necessary to make refined products. We are talking of massive amounts of water and natural gas to liberate the oil and reform it. Sadly it will not help our oil situation even though there is more energy locked up in Alberta and Colorado than in all of the Middle East. The physics don't work. Approximately one unit of energy input to get two out plus astronomical amounts of CO2 as a byproduct. IMHO in the end they might scale up to 5mil bbls per day in about twenty years. (sorry T. Boone!) I actually liked SU but after crunching the numbers it just doesn't work. (I was a physics major in college)
