geek, the current flow of oil out of the Tar Sands is around 1.8MB/d. The one news article left out was a research report done last May '06 from the Pembina Institute (an Alberta Think tank) commisioned by the provincial government, basically it says;
At current extraction rates, Alberta will run out of water by 2014. This report was published in Canada's national news paper the Globe & Mail.
Now if that doesn't raise concerns I don't know what will. If they insist on growth in the Tar Sands, Canada must build a pipeline from the ocean and desailinate the water to use up there, instead of tapping into the James bay fresh water. By building a pipeline, they can actually use the water for irrigation purposes additionally, given global warming issues going forward.

I know that's not true, it's about 1.2 mbd right now, but I have to look that up. Not a minor thing either, that's off by 50%.
Wait, found it, Sep 9:
We'll all read the Marsden book and shudder.
Receding Horizons, my friends.
