Gore finally got the newspapers to print it - how insane it is to dig up four tonnes of land to get one barrel of crude oil, and use nearly as much 'natural gas energy' as the energy in a barrel of crude oil, just to make that barrel of crude oil.
"Nuts", is how Gore put it.
"National disgrace" I say, as bad as pissing on war memorials.
Keeping in mind that "the future of life as we know it" will be lost due to global warming, and thats what our honored and valiant soldiers were also protecting - "life as we know it".
There is also the fact that our soldiers were fighting Hitler, who had close ties to the Bush Family Fortune, and their Imperial Oil corporation who sold Hitler the petrol supplies that fueled his WW2 machines. But lets not get off track...
We are losing control of life to corporations and the small but all powerfull group of Elites wealthy people who have gained control of the world by controlling oil : "When you control oil, you control all nation's economies" - Kissinger.
Using one-third of Alberta's natural gas production to get the crude oil from tar sands is only being done because America prefers crude oil to natural gas. If they used the natural gas, they could have more energy for much reduced global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. That would require USA fleets of trucks to use natural gas, a very do-able scenario for fleets, and trucks can carry the weight of natural gas tanks. Or any large engine vehicle, from boats to trains.
But no, the Americans want crude, and they want to never change a thing from the way they did it in the 1950s. And I could hint that GWBushCo WANTS global warming to occur, maybe even WW3, because then the only survivors would be those Elites, that 5% with 90% of the world's wealth. Ok, go ahead, live in that world you fanatic insane wealthy whakos, we cannot seem to stop you.
Fortunately, the costs of getting the Tar Sands into crude form is costing TWICE as much as they had planned on, and so expansions may be in jeopardy, despite the forecast of $80bbl crude prices. On top of that, Ralph Klein will quit being Premier soon anyhow.
There may be hope after all.

PS -National Disgrace #3 : Ballard sells fuel cells to China instead of us using this sophisticated technology at home:
CHINA has ordered 100 Ballard fuel Cells to put into cars there next year, and huge orders if they work out ok.
Why China? Why can't WE have our own [Ballard] technology working here, and not polluting our air? China is not at the beck and call of corporations, but ya, they have a totalitarian government.... its pretty much the same thing as far as the little guys go - except they will be breathing clean air sooner than we will. Maybe there are just varying levels of totalitarianism.
