Eventually, we are going to run out and then we'll really be hooped." There's some serious Canadian cash involved here! At $70 a barrel, the enormous oil sand reserves of Canada suddenly become economically viable. It's estimated that there is the equivalent of 1.7(10^12), yes 1.7 trillion, barrels of oil in Canada, mostly in Alberta, and now it's worth a fortune. From wikipedia on tar sands: "However, with the development of new in-situ production techniques such as steam assisted gravity drainage and the Oil price increases of 2004-2006, there are now several dozen companies planning nearly 100 oil sands mines and in-situ projects in Canada, totaling nearly $100 billion in capital investment." -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
