H2oil Animated Sequences

submitted by KnivesOut

1 decade 4 years 6 months ago

Animations from the feature documentary H2oil.

From the film's info site:

Ever wonder where American gets most of its oil? If you thought it was Saudi Arabia or Iraq you are wrong. America’s biggest oil supplier has quickly become Canada’s oil sands. Located under Alberta’s pristine boreal forests, the process of oil sands extraction uses up to 4 barrels of fresh water to produce only one barrel of crude oil.

They can apply to drinking water, but they don't. Last I checked (and it may have changed,) it's illegal in Canada to sell water outside of Canada in anything larger than a 2l bottle. Which means only truck loads of bottles make it out. Chretien made sure to put in a clause in Nafta, making it impossible (in theory) that Canadas drinking water was not for sale en masse.

Hopefully it still is protected, but it means I have to go do research and see if Harper decided that we didn't need fresh water anymore.

How do people in Alberta feel about the environmental aspects of the oil sands generally?
