■"In Canada's Wilderness, Measuring the Cost of Oil Profits," by Clifford Krauss, New York Times, 9 October 2005, p. A3.
The environmental footprint required to push Canada into Saudi Arabia-West status will be huge, but in such a remote province, expect the money to buy off most local resistance (those checks in the mail to every citizens are quite comforting). Have no illusions, the money will talk, and Canada will rise up the ranks.
And China will come calling Ö
As Canada's enviro minister stated, "There is no environmental minister on earth who can stop the oil from coming out of the sand, because the money is too big."
But there's no reason to use natural gas to clean the sand in order to make a dirtier fuel, which, as one environmentalist put it, is "like using caviar to make fake crabmeat." No, watch the nukes roll in as the key processing energy source, with the French (Total) leading the way on that score.
