With the government pledging to use less middle east oil it's looking like the Canadian tar sands are going to be raped of there oil. What do you guys think it? this process has some INSANE environmental effects, from deforestation to contaminating a ridicules amount of water.

yeah? and how much do you figure you are going to pay for all that green power (assuming enough can be produced to meet demand)?
It's going to be expensive, and Americans are going to have to make some sacrifices in lifestyle. It would help alot if the government would invest in better public transit.
Oh wait, I have a great idea, lets make Exxon take some of its 11.6 BILLION dollars in profit and make them pay for some of the costs of making our energy needs viable in the long term
Well there's a whole sh!t ton of money we could use! We don't even have to tax gas to pay for alternative energy/transportation either because Exxon already raised prices...
It's about time we get weaned off oil while prices are still pretty low. Give alternative energy a few decades to drop in price and it won't even cost that much more. Granted, we still need big changes in infrastructure since ours is based on cheap gasoline, but it's possible.
Um-hm. Cause that bio-fule ethanol has made things soooooo much better, right?
Higher world food prices and a process that does more damage to the environment than refining crude.
Why should Exxon pay for our addiction to oil? That's like expecting your dope dealer to pay for your rehab stay..
It's business and as long as the people bitching about high gas prices and the economy keep using their Visa to pay to fill up their SUV they ride in by themselves everyday, nothin's changing.
Oh, and who gives a fock about Canada (America Jr.)

What happened to stealing the oil from Iraq?? Let's get with the program so we can lower oil prices!! I'm assuming that since Canada is held up in Afghanistan and contributing to 'the cause', would could get a cut of it too.

We need that oil for later, but more important than that is making sure no one else gets it
We don't need Nebraska, we should put it all there.
