Here is a nice article on the Oilsands, in the Edmonton Journal of today. The picture shows a open pit mining facility, nowadays the emphasys is on SAGD, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage which claims 80% of the bitumen can be harvested or taped if you will. And of course the environment needs to be taken into the equation, and it will be there is no other option. But the bitumen will also come out, one way or the other. Oil sand projects will fuel, :-), the economy and are a great job and tax revenue creator.
