Oil sands or rather I should say tar sands

Tar Sands and Shale.

The Alberta government and the oil companies that influence it would upgrade tar sands to oil sands, apparently thinking that a better name somehow silences environmental critics.

It is stopping the tar sands.

longwall mining, fracking, tar sands, tar shale, deep ocean Arctic drilling.

Even oil supplies are likely to be significantly boosted by non conventional sources like tar sands.

Tar Sands are found mainly in Canada.

This is the Alberta tar sands, the largest oil reserves on the planet outside of Saudi Arabia.

And most controversially, it means the tar sands.

This is what accumulates in the tar sands of

Tar sands are the turning point in our fossil fuel addiction.

oil sands is a P.R. created term so that the oil companies wouldn't be trying to promote something that sounds like a sticky tar like substance that's the world's dirtiest oil.

If you are investing in tar sands or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub prime carbon assets.

The tar sands could threaten not just a large section of the boreal.

And we need to all gather together and say no to the tar sands.

It would transfer tar sands from Alberta, Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico.

So this is where the tar sands live, under one of the last magnificent

Besides the largest conventional oil reserves and the second largest natural gas reserves in the Western Hemisphere, Venezuela has non conventional oil deposits (extra heavy crude oil, bitumen and tar sands) approximately equal to the world's reserves of conventional oil.

Important energy technologies will include conversion of coal to liquids (such as gasoline), use of tar sands and oil shale, and growth in non fossil fuel energy sources.

Consider the hyperbolic debate over the Keystone XL pipeline, which would funnel oil from Canada s Athabasca tar sands in northeastern Alberta to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

So this is where the tar sands live, under one of the last magnificent Boreal forests.

The tar sands are hundreds of square kilometers of bitumen, a viscous and corrosive tarlike deposit.

So they decided to call it oil sands.

No tar sands mine has actually ever been denied approval, so it is essentially a rubber stamp.

First, we should recognize that even as oil becomes scarce, other fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and unconventional sources such as shale and tar sands, will remain plentiful for centuries.

Tar sand's oil is solid, mixed in with the soil.

I mean we're in tar sands, we're doing shale oil, we're doing fracking, we're doing mountain top removal, we're doing deep sea drilling, we're taking apart the earth to look for the last bits of gas and oil and coal.

The tar sands consume more water than any other oil process, three to five barrels of water are taken, polluted and then returned into tailings ponds, the largest toxic impoundments on the planet.

I'm always surprised by how little people outside of Canada know about the Alberta Tar Sands, which this year are projected to become the number one source of imported oil to the United States.

Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments that I personally think make sense.

When one of these tar sands tankers, carrying the dirtiest oil, 10 times as much as the Exxon Valdez, eventually hits a rock and goes down, we're going to have one of the worst ecological disasters this planet has ever seen.

These are the Athabasca tar sands, and there's an enormous amount first of mining, the largest trucks in the world are working here, and then you've got to pull out this black sludge, which is basically oil that doesn't flow.

The tar sands toxins are in the food chain, and this is causing cancer rates up to 10 times what they are in the rest of Canada.

So like the equivalent, the Titan equivalent, of tar, or oil, or what we didn't know what.

The latest figures show that the old model is not working. There are a lot of great investments that you can make. If you are investing in tar sands or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub prime carbon assets.

Tar sands is destructive in and of itself but it's also symbolic of a way of developing, a way of growing our economy that just can't be sustained.

Tar Options

Tar command

They don't like fighting over oil, they don't like being in the sands and they don't like where the oil money goes and what sort of instability it creates.

KNOCK Please, tar tar, a policeman Quincy most anxious to see you.

Across the desert sands

There's some telegrams for tar tar. Just put them under the door, Su Lin.

These are the Athabasca tar sands, and there's an enormous amount first of mining, the largest trucks in the world are working here, and then you've got to pull out this black sludge, which is basically oil that doesn't flow. It's tied to the sand. And then you've got to use a lot of steam to separate it, which only works at today's oil prices.
