Unfortunately, if you open the link, you won't get the ghastly photo (dating to 2005) of what this already looks like <i> just on the surface</i> at the Albian Sands project in Alberta. Nevermind the eventual environmental devastation picture.<br /><br />As usual, however, it feels as though the horse has left the barn, leaving our under-informed citizenry to try to play catch-up.nancydrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627105950366472039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18587935.post-12301229369268658932011-06-22T20:25:01.234-04:002011-06-22T20:25:01.234-04:00Tar Sands Action:
