"...an enterprise of epic proportions, akin to the building of the pyramids..."

a) the pyramids are made from the liquified remains of ancient forest, and live underground
b) oil is shaped like a roof, with dead people inside it
c) Stephen Harper is a gigantic fucking tool

pick one

btw thanks Geoffrey for actually posting a link worth reading for a change, you witless, gelded mule

You think people are stupid for wanting oil?

[GONNAFISTYA]

lol Canada, etc

[seremtan]

no, i think they're stupid for wanting it to the extent that they'll fuck the global environment for their kids and grandkids while carrying on with imperial shenanigans without end in the oil-producing regions of the world

I blame Alberta. That's why they're drowning right now. Fuckers.

Yeah... in all seriousness though, the greedy oil-hungry bullshit in this country has reached pretty fucked up levels. A company named Enbridge is pushing for a pipeline from Alberta to the coast of BC to ship lovely tar-sand bullshit to Asia (for processing, what else?) The kicker is that the coast of BC is full of tiny fucking islands all over the god damn place and it's a disaster waiting to happen to have giant fucking oil tankers trying to navigate that shit. Fuck me, the fucking BCFerries company can't even drive their little ferry boats around properly (a ferry recently ran aground and sank in BC, people drowned, etc.) and now they want to have massive, world-scale oil tankers jig-jagging around the Queen Charlottes. Fuck, the level of stupidity and complacency among the populace is mind boggling.

More and more, doesn't matter where you go, it's just rich vs. poor. Canada, US, Europe, Asia, Africa, whatever. People are under the thumb!

They're stupid enough to include the full article even if you aren't signed in.
So what you do is go here:
http://www.readability.com/bookmarklets
and drag the "read now" bookmarklet to your bookmarks. Then visit the article and click the bookmark. The page will now be properly readable. That bookmarklet is actually very neat, because it works on almost all websites. It cleans up clutter like ad banners and everything and presents you the article in a cleanly formatted way.

An alternative method is to use the DOM inspector in Chrome or Firefox (or Firebug's DOM inspector) to remove the nag screen HTML from the page.
You could also just do a "view source" on the page and read it from the source, but that isn't as pleasant to read.

Isn't it. Saw a Vice documentary about a new drug called Sisa the other day, left me truly shocked. Wasn't so much about the drug (some utterly fucked up, homecooked meth variant that sells at 1 euro a hit) as it was about what caused the rise in availability and demand of this drug, the current situation in Athens.

Jesus, it was horrible... The state university is closed due to budget cuts and has become a site where heroin junkies deal and shoot up, like a sort of symbol of how truly screwed Greece is. Needles and spots of blood litter the stairs. There's no jobs anywhere, the young people that haven't left the country for better places are either slowly killing themselves with cheap dope or join right of left extremists that roam the streets at night and beat each other up... basically everything is totally fucking fucked. I knew things were bad down there, but i didn't know they were that bad.

The (disproven) austerity measures Europe is taking are sand in the motors of all of our economies, but they're killing Greece. It's fucking criminal. At this rate, taking the Greek national character into account, i wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing political violence in the near future. Might have been the dark tone Vice usually has in their docs, but i've talked to a few Greek people (they come here for work) and they pretty much tell similar tales.

Anyway, unrelated post perhaps deserving of it's own topic, but yeah, i appreciate your anger and feel likewise. Good read about the oils though eh.

okay, so I read the article and alot of it is true, however the articles' view on the process of extracting bitumen from the ground is incorrect. I'm an electrician at a SAGD plant in northern Alberta and it's quite clean, no raping of the earth. The amount of water that is used is 1:1, with any left over steam/water being recycled into the process.

The problem isn't bitumen. The problem is the process that Suncor/Syncrude is using the extract it, open pit mining. As far as raping the earth for the oil, SAGD is the least rapey.

Obviously we need to step away from limited resources all together, but their are cleaner ways of getting Alberta oil out of the ground then what the news shows you.
