I have no idea of the veracity an Ipsos Reid survey. I suspect if it doesn't meet one's views it is doubted. Views on Canadian Oil and Gas ipsos-na.com British Columbians on the Northern Gateway Pipelines Project ipsos-na.com I don't think things are quite as dire nationally as you are making them out to be Spotted Jack of Kastel Cats. I keep seeing the adjectives corrosive, toxic, and noxious being applied to bituman and dilbit. Toxic and noxious could be applied to most hydrocarbons. Corrosive I am not sure. This little presentation deals with corrosion. onlinepubs.trb.org I'd like to see a chromatogram of oil from a conventional central Alberta oil well versus one of bituman coming from a SAGD battery. Can anyone point me to one? Chemical analysis would be one way to compare toxicity and noxiousness No? edit I just see now that one of the more erudite members of SI has come up with this description: ...Or should I say the risks to the environment are different with Bitch , it is garbage , poison ..... Message 28773092 Does the rest of the population have this strong of feelings about the issue as here on a few threads on SI????

As you like to say it's not black and white; it seldom is. Years ago, the prediction here was that money, political clout and power would win. That's our society, and that's how it goes. But I'd be happy to see a different outcome; for a number of reasons I'm with the underdogs. As for Balkanization, who knows? Our neighbours down south were upset when people started agitating for secession after the last election. Huh! They should try living with Péquistes for a while. Some wood splits easily. --- Energy -- O&G, nuclear, renewable and so on -- will be a pivotal issue in this century. There's no way past it. Jim
