The US uses about 20 million barrels of oil per day. The idea that oil sands, tar sands, fracking, or any combination of this will turn 1.2 million barrels of day in a few years into 20 million barrels a day sometime in the future (while our population grows), is a feel-good fallacy perpetrated to give us false hope, steer away from conservation, underfund alternatives, and maintain the status-quo which has been good for the oil industry since the 1900′s.
Meanwhile, the “boom” of tar and oil sands and shale oil, etc., is leaving aquifers permanently unusable, is turning nice and quiet towns into boom towns with temporary prosperity and then lasting blight, is devastating wildlife habitat, to say nothing of other kinds of pollution.
And meanwhile, all we seem to care about is 10 cents one way or another at the pump to feed out oversized cars so we can drive to and from our sprawl that necessitates a car to do anything at all.
Hot debate. What do you think?
