The extraction and refining of Oil/Tar Sands costs 7 times more that
refining standard crude oil. Oil/Tar Sands from Alberta are not nore
will they ever be a financially viable method of producing fuel. The
only reason they are extracting it now is that it's subsidized by the
Govt to the tune of 50%. When that goes away the whole operation will
shut down.

Read the filings of Suncor. Oil sands are profitable when petroleum is over
$30 a barrel.
