CBS 60 Minutes special on the oil sands of Canada. There are about 2 trillion barrels of oil literally in the sand in the middle of nowhere in Alberta. This is about 8 times the oil estimated to be in Saudi Arabia.

Whether it came from fossils of millions of tons of dinnosaurs smashed together during the flood....or from magma (which ruins my hollow earth theory) or from passing meteors really doesn't change much for Canada......everybody's leavin' town (steel guitar in background)...and moving out to Alberta (western province in Canada) to make the BIG bucks!  I noticed an immediate upturn in the economy when this information was released about 2 years ago.....then I discovered that this discovery was discovered back in 1891 (see NY TIMES) -- but like Tesla's discoveries, were kept secret for SOME ODD REASON!  :::::scractches head and gives it a shake::::  oh well! or should I say OIL WELL!  heheheeh   ::) Joyce

The quality of that oil is way less than what is pumped in the Middle Eastern nations.  The refining process is way more expensive due to the fact that it's, well, in the sand.

You know, I've heard a little something about that, musicman-- but here in Atlantic Canada, Irving Oil is putting in a second refinery? How do they harvest the oil out of the sand in Saudi Arabia? I know very little about this, I can only speculate from what I see going on around me.
