And don't worry much about the enviro's yelling from there, we have nearly as many of our own here, and others from the UK etc. are nearly as bad. The one issue where I think the sands (and petroleum in general) are still exposed is CO2 emissions. Hopefully the operators can find their way to using water-shift with coke to genrate the hydrogen needed for upgrading and local energy needs, and can then find suitable locations to sequester the CO2. If the Cdn govt. were really smart it would finance the research needed, then collect funds from taxes on all CO2-emitting fuels production sufficient to finance the sequestration systems.

Imagine an industry that reuses its process water! What will they think of next? Trillions of barrels of oil equivalent in Canadian bitumen is a stern rebuke to peak oil catastrophists and a big threat to climate catastrophists. They have to shut oil sands down no matter what it takes. You see the same level of fanaticism and dishonesty in the Salazar / Pelosi / Boxer attacks against development of trillions of barrels of oil equivalent in oil shale, and against arctic oil drilling, and offshore drilling -- not to mention vital pipelines that are being obstructed. You are quite right that intellectual honesty is in short supply among the enviro lobbyists and their congressional cronies and cats' paws. Nice overview, thanks Brian.

The numbers had me concerned because I did not realize it was being reused. Thanks for you clarification on the water usage statistics.

I must admit that the shouting had me convinced that there is no smoke without fire before reading this. It is just a pity that the environuts have managed to stymie using nuclear energy instead of gas to extract the oil. I would be interested on your take on the Appalachian mountain top removals if you get the opportunity - I have been taught to think that 'this is a very bad thing' but looking at Google Earth it is perhaps less clear that most of the mountains are under threat. I don't think I would like it close to me though. Thanks for the on the spot info.
