My husband is a steamfitter/pipefitter, and has done his time a dozen times out in Alberta (and all over the rest of the country and offshore as well). He has some stories about the weather out there. |

Whatever the process used, it takes a great deal of energy to recover bitumen and turn it into oil. An enormous amount of greenhouse gases are released in the process. In fact, making oil from tar sands produces two or three times more greenhouse gases than producing conventional oil. From Treehugger.com |
