@TheWenaus and boreal forest consists of mostly smaller trees due to the muskeg...there are taller trees where there is high ground. these mine sites and tailings ponds are slated to be reclaimed. the ones that have been reclaimed are growing fine and some have been turned into grazing pasture for bison instead of back to boreal forest. trees will be replanted and will grow fine...especially since the bitumen has been removed from the sands below.

I just wish they would have mentioned the reclamation process the companies go through after they mine. It like digging the ground, removing a million year old oil spill nd returning clean ground. If you follow the Athabasca river, you will see oil naturally seeping from its banks.

and the consumers who are demanding it. it's not just the corporations fault

Allocate that much land to hemp cultivation and see how much bio diesel is produced from it. It's renewable.

@TheWenaus not all oil sands projects are strip mining, there is also in-situ...like sagd (steam assisted gravity drainage) and css (cyclic steam stimulation) were they are using brackish water that is supplied from wells drilled to deeper depths into formations that contain brackish water. in-situ uses about 1/5 barrel to make a barrel of oil...and it is also recycled and then disposed by means of injection back into deeper formations(disposal wells)..

If you start drilling in Canada, the world can stop relying on Saudi oil. Bring on more drilling.

@TheWenaus trees grow..we know they do..i work up there (going there monday morning as a matter of fact)..i see what it's like...the strip mining is destructive, but is necessary for the energy locked away within the oil sands. everything will be reclaimed and balance will be restored....agriculture, logging & hydro-electricity are just as destructive.

It would be MOST HELPFUL if you could show footage of the tarsands before the oil companies came in. I'm thinking it was an environmental mess.

We contribute huge amounts of carbon emissions? What a joke...

@@napoleon9669 no we don’t, about .2% of emissions. If our industry is so terrible then the billions of dollars of welfare that the rest of the country gets from it must also be terrible. We should keep it so we can diversify our economy, not feed the lazy rats in eastern Canada.

The irony is like we are depleting the worlds oil supply the world is rapidly depleting it's need for extreme environmentalist. Sometimes I think they drive around using up oil just to have something to complain about.

I love the oil sand, frigg off. Only 3 percent of alberta is mine on surface, the rest pump out from the ground using reused water.

Uh so this where Eric Hansen’s oil come from.

Very nice. She's a crusader. And she feels strongly for her cause. What she doesn't know is that she's fighting against every hardworking Albertan by trying to shut down our #1 livelyhood. It really would be better if Alberta seperated and not have to deal with so much BS. "Alberta First, here I come !!!"

Who owns the rights to the oil sands? The government?

cursed AF comment section

Its a great project!

where did you get your drone?

This planet is burning up its energy stores at an unsustainable rate and making it eventually uninhabitable. It's not about living in a tent with no electricity. It's not about creating jobs by tearing this planet apart. It's about the wise use of the limited resources we have. The tar sands are controlled by the "future eaters" - corporations that seek profit above all else and the hell with the future. Deny it all you want, but it's the truth.

The tar sands look like the beginning of Wall-E

@alienincognito were talking about the alberta oil sands here

There's no reason to think so. New oil fields and drilling technologies are discovered all the time. LNG & fracking are rising fast and can saisfy huge markets. Existing fields that were supposed to be dried up a long time ago are finding more ways to extract more oil out of the same locations.

Eastern Canada imports their own oil. Alberta's oil goes to the United States and Western Canada only.

@Vulcan750L My point would be that even though you or I might be inextricably tied into certain systems and economies through our lifestyles (whether consciously or not), that shouldn't disqualify us from talking about and thinking critically about them... Interested in your thoughts on this.

ugh. people that talk about the oil industry when they know nothing about it.

I'm afraid this is only one part of the whole story of the Alberta oil sands.

@leanlifter1 When trains first came into use, the people said that if you went 15 miles and hour or faster, you would die. I guess you would have fit in back then.

I honestly feel that this woman does not know what she is talking about. Most oil companies in Alberta use water that is unsuitable for human consumption, and then most of that water (over 80%) is recycled. Also Canada's GHG emissions from oil sands only account for 0.1% of global GHG emmisions. The environmental impact of the Albertan oil sands on air quality is in fact improving or remaining the same.

Did she just say “sensicle?”

@Vulcan750L I agree, but isn't that part of the argument? We're all part of these structures, which is why they are so hard to change, or even talk about?

no news reporters were beheaded, raped, stoned, or kidnapped in the making of this video. (Yay Alberta)

And then there is missingt00th and his inability to speak without swearing. Must REALLY suck to be him, missing teeth must have been from someone clobbering him for speaking like that.

The data collected by these company's before they strip and area report a much smaller biological diversity then the real number. That way when they "reclaim" an area it appears that its doing quite well after the fact. Reviews on their techniques almost always show that they simple do not do enough sampling (Hence the great data they have to report on later). Tree will be replanted and grow fine? says who? We have to wait about 30 years before we can be sure about that. What about microbes?

Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favourite channel.:). I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant. 🌴🌴🌴 excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 Wabasca oil field Pelican Airport CFT8 WV

actually there are many Native Indians that work at the Oilsands and they are successful and working. They are respected and involved and you are obviously not informed, nor is this woman speaking?

Europe and Africa will buy oil from Saudi Arabia rather than Canada because it'll be cheaper. Buying oil from Saudi Arabia is cheaper than buying it from Canada. No matter how many tar sands Canada has, Saudi Arabia will always be on top of the world when it comes to oil. But Canada could sale the oil to the United States, China, Australia, and Japan but I can't see any other place.

@noftchks1 deforestation is not that same as a naturally occurring forest fire. Plus we usually do what we can to stop forest fires - should we not do what we can to stop the destruction of boreal forests? Again a volcano - theres little we can do to prevent that. I guess theres no way to prevent oil companies from stripping a quarter of your province tho. Hopefully our grandchildren will clean it up

This is a person living in Edmonton, Alberta, this video was made 10 years ago back when Edmonton's government hadn't sold us out to foreign countries or back when Edmonton wasn't corrupt. Please take note of the power oil can have on a country

We need to move forward in this country. This is not in the best interest of the people. I understand the number of jobs this will bring is needed. But there are other ways that will strengthen our infrastructure. A high speed rail would create jobs all the while reducing the need for oil.

@L0A0B It's the people of our province as well as the rest of Canada that benefits from the oil in Alberta. Without out Alberta oil, who would be supporting the rest of Canada??? Now do YOU see the big picture?

ok at 1:08 this hugh vat of toxic waste as this person explains is now the first recovered tailings pond in north america thanks to new science and technology they have figured out how to separate the tailings so as not to be so toxic slowly all the companies are picking up this tech and are utilizing this for furture use

@hunter1092001 hunter your comment is grounded in a narrow sense of identity. This is a human issue. We are people. Provincial, national, etc. lines are constructs we have invented. We won't solve any of these problems by dividing. Declaring more of the world "other". That ultimately makes us feel smaller, and then we become hostile and greedy. Our problems solve themselves if we embrace the reality that we are all conscious parts of a single process. Don't divide us man.

Yes, we depend on oil and yes it will never be eliminated, but claiming that we don't lead excessive lifestyles is the biggest understatement I've ever heard. Clearly, some people do not use their their time to inform themselves on living standards in other countries. Ignorance may be bliss right now, but when your children have to live in a toxic environment due to our reliance on fossil fuels, then you can tell me that "eco-terrorist" are wrong and that you still believe in your statements

Thanks to the oil sands, gas prices don't go too high, and I can actually live in the North. Thanks :)

way to go!

@Balenza345 How loving of you, holy man

Sop calling it "tar" sands.

@pitomba125 Actually its significantly worse - 1 barrel of bitumen produced oil takes about 3x the h2o for production when compared to conventional oil(is it called conventional, i think so?). Plus the environmental impacts are much worse. The evidence is there, you can find lots of journals on all aspects of it.

there should be a 2000 foot clay dam with green planted over with native trees barrier between the kem lakes and athabaska river this should start now. no digging limit 2000 feet away from natural ponds and rivers. no buildings or processing withen 2000 feet of natural waters .where is the envirment canada.

the reporter is hot.

To all the people whining that Alberta should separate: well, go on then. Separate. Good riddance. Go. Get the hell out of our confederation and become the third-rate land-locked nation that you deserve to be. See what happens to your economy when the oil industry dries up, and all you have to show for it is a barren wasteland. I'm serious - start pressuring your politicians to secede right away. And please, take your idol, Stephen Harper, with you. Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out!

@mrsmileyzip The measure of one's education shows in their ability to express themselves without the language that you chose to use. Intelligence also goes a long way in expressing opinion without the language that you use. But what could I expect of someone who "thinks" they are smarter than us Albertans, yet is completely unable to articulate their opinion in a civil manner.

watch Scared Waters on shoreroadmac I'll take there , see this wonder of the world

obviously these new methodologies have some problems and they need to be corrected. However, this is a source of oil that cannot be ignored. trillions of dollars for the Canadian economy. at some point you have to make choices based on survival. Nature has a nasty habit of adapting. For instance, when we removed sulfur from our emissions in America's industry, massive rain forests in south America died because of the effect our industry had on weather patterns.

@RideMyBMW The Tar sands are the modern day equivalent of the great wall of China problem being unlike the great wall the Alberta Oil Tar Sands are rapping our planet at a rate that cannot be sustained.

@amfmful why?

Hey, making the world uninhabitable for future generations creates lots of jobs and more importantly, profits for foreign companies.

do we need this

Russia produces more oil than the Saudis. With better technology they could ramp up production even more. The so called "shortage" of supply in oil is a myth. This whole thing can be fixe din less than 5 years. All it takes is for the public to stop demonising business.

@Vulcan750L Al Gore is definitely a good example of the messenger tainting the message, even more so since his lifestyle is so far from that of the great majority. I don't know anything about this director, but assuming she enjoys an average middle-class living standard, would that really impact the argument of her movie? If so, then who would be able to convincingly deliver that critique?

I live in Alberta

They use 8 barrels of water to produce 1 barrel of oil.

It's all very well to blame and complain and hate, but without a solution to the problem anyone argument is pretty much worthless as it only creates a equal problem while trying to fix this problem, the core problem is not oil, the core problem is human inability to convert energy without massive loss, there is no solution to that problem, converting any kind of energy is very inefficient and the left over loss is the harmful part

@RideMyBMW I majored in socioeconomics bud UofA

@TheWenaus really?? so am i.

OIL sands

Lets try to grasp the concept of power. People want power, some more then others. Power comes with money. The biggest money generating industry in the wolrd= energy/Oil. By luck, there is a lot in Alberta. Who has the most power in canada = the governement and private oil industries. Who wants to be more powerfull= them. At the cost of others. Albertas entire social structure is corrupt by the money comming from oil. People have money = comfort = indiference= dont want tosee the big picture.

@RideMyBMW 1% now. A lot more in the future.

the oil sands arent any worse environmentaly than any other oil extraction process. and if you want, americans, cut off your oil supply from canada, and then go ahead and buy your most valuable resource from some middle eastern country.

@AlexiSundukov if u watch my vids on oilsands you'll see it not just the oil companies...there is more too it. check out my Toxic Alberta? vids

@justanoldman1 Sure bud.

@ajhughes74 And thats not a problem to you? Not that that is the case... the oil used for those things are from a different source. naive and simple? i guess thats better then ignorant.

we put water in the athabasca river "northern alberta" cleaner then how we got it? Yes their is co2 emissions but its so minuscule in the big picture. but its how we use the oil. not how its made. Seeing tailings pond pictures over internet is nothing. come see the technology nowadays to keep birds and wildlife from them and to make them settle faster. Yes oil companies love profit, So do people and thats why millions of people across this world are related to jobs in the industry.

@mxRC44 I guess you don't even know what free trade gave us do you? Perhaps you should look it up.

Seriously why does everyone think tailing ponds are toxic waste? Everything in the ponds was in the ground already, I've walked on the forests that grow on the ponds once they are dried up, its not some toxic waste dump that sits there forever. Once they are too large, they sit out and dry, the forest is replanted on them, and we take the 2% of the ground that was oil. Everything is returned to the way it was. (And seriously, Saudi is running out of oil, and we have the largest known reserves.)

@seraph097 how can you tell someone they dont have an opinion WOWSERS...and would you like to tell me how they make the people and animals come back to life???? exactly

@albertabeefcowboy84 Teaching is a noble profession, a helping profession. I do research as well. But,I'm not here to toot my horn or prove anything to you. I just know that if something feels wrong, there must be something wrong. I try very hard to live a life that respects the environment that I live in.

Great short on the oil extraction disaster in northern alberta

@leanlifter1 Yes the free market model is haphaxard but it is the best system in the world today bar none so we will stick with it. I presume you are a solialist or communist and those systems failed even more. The world in working now under a global corporation type of system and there is no way to stop it without going into bankruptcy. I again suffest you have a joint and relax and try to enjoy you life and allow it since you can not change anything anywat.

@mxRC44 You must be one of those 99%ers, too lazy to work.

@leanlifter1 I give up on you.

WAKE UP people, I work here and see bears and foxes and bison roaming happily through the fields and trees every day... you don't know what you are talking about and the lies are counterproductive to all. The Oilsands are GREAT for CANADA and if this was located in the USA or Ontario we would not be wasting time debating, we would be producing even more!!!

testing

@justanoldman1 I dont smoke and your logic is failing just like the economy and American Dollar.

@mxRC44 OK dummy.

Can you imagine what the environment would like like after they're done with destroying the area. Horrific! Please stop! If you care about human survival stop this sort of destruction. There is something fundamentally wrong with this and i can't believe I'm witnessing this. As a Canadian, I'm ashamed.

@albertabeefcowboy84 At first, I ignored your comment because you don't know me, but now that I see you're from Alberta, I'm not surprized by what you said. I'm a university professor at an important university, which means, I'm quite educated. You probably voted for Harper as well, I can bet. Good luck to you.

she is talking about stuff that she has no idea of... disappointing. This is the same for all the haters.

What have you done to 'contribute to society'? I expect you drive around, alone, in a huge male apendadge-extention of a vehicle, blissfully unaware of the part you are playing in providing funds for global terrorism, ruining the local environment and causing the deaths of all our brave servicemen.
