Slash and Burn, Environmental Predation, Oil Sands

 There will be no one to clean up after the party..

Reuters reports that reclamation of land after its been steamed for oil lags behind the fossil harvesting machine.

"That could leave the public vulnerable to major financial burdens in years to come, an expert scientific panel said"

"Alberta’s oil sands are the largest source of crude outside Saudi Arabia,
and are the target of billions of dollars of spending by the world’s
oil industry. However, the environmental impact of the rush to develop
the oil is under intense scrutiny by environmentalists and politicians.
Current government of Alberta policy on financial
security for reclamation liability leaves Alberta vulnerable to major
financial risks which are exacerbated by the current state of
reclamation, which is not keeping pace with the rate of land
disturbance."

Get it in your head: Oil comanies don’t care about the environment. They only care about their own existence and their role in the trinity. There is no justice for the fossil industry because they own the place.

Fracking court case anyone? The legal system is for losers in this case. So once the oil sands are depleted, the fossil fuel will be depleted and sold, and there will be no way to recover the sands. Better shut down the operation right now..
