What hipocrits stating that they shouldnt use tar sands but there flying over them in a chopper (which uses fuel most likely from tar sands)

Are you sure you know ur facts? tell me if you even know that as it stands we are not shipping raw bitumen, that is a proposal, or are the refineries that are running right now standing idle? We are shipping refined product not bitumen, and if you knew anything about bitumen, it must go thru a rough refining process before it becomes synthetic crude oil, but hey, I'm just a guy who has worked in the tar sands industry for 18yrs, I'm sure you know a lot more than I do.

Almost all the raw bitument and oil leaves the province because of the absurd royalty and approval system in Alberta. Never has any proposed tarsand operation been denied. Most all profits gained goes to foreign companies. In a recent report, Syncrude recieved an 18% score of environmental management. Rare cancers are up to 100 times the national average in surrounding communities. The government has in it's power to supply alberta's energy and employment needs without more tarsands development

the funny part of that is the water pouring out of that pipe next to the banner is clean water. There is a ground water run off ditch surrounding the dyke and the water gets pumped back into the dyke. The small flags are at the end of spill pipes which are connected to a box...nothing else. If the flags or banner was at the end of a pipeline then it would have made a little sense but where they were positioned was very humorful. Good job greenpeace on wasting peoples time.

Fact almost 30 percent of canadian exports come from the tarsands. Fact, the economy of Alberta and every job is related to or a direct result of the tarsands. Fact, without the tarsands you will be paying a hell of a price for gas, and tell me this, what about the tens of thousands of jobs and families who survive because of the tar sands? Are you implying those peoples needs are going to be met by tree hugging hippies? When you can find us all other forms of feeding our kids let me know idiot.

sure they wouldnt need the helicopter but do you really want the economies of the world in a worse place than they already are? until alternative energies like Picken's Windmill farm start making head way we are going to need oil and this fills the need

If they stopped the tar sands, they probably wouldn't need the helicopter.
tnichols321 (July 25, 2008 at 11:07 pm)
Hmm i wonder if you could afford fuel for that there helicopter if they stopped the tar sands and the price of oil shot up?

Thank God for Greenpeace! This is a powerful statement and I applaud Greenpeace for once again having the courage to take on big enterprise! |
