>> . Once upgraded the opposition to the transport of the oil via pipeline should be hugely mitigated. << Much of the opposition is based on the perception that the production of the bitumen is "dirty," tailing ponds, CO2 emissions, etcetera. Upgrading only releases more CO2. There is no post-production treatment process that can make the Canadian fossil fuels green enough to overcome the opposition of the green-renewable fuels lobby to granting pipeline permits. I thought one of the key questions had to do with a spill that would be more harmful than a spill of traditional crude oil - either in truth or perception. Another question is - with the current projects in progress - when does the take away capacity limit the ability to produce oil in Alberta. Bob
