Tar Sands: The Oil Junkie's Last Fix, Part 2 - 2007-09-07
What we have here is arguably the most environmentally destructive activity man has ever attempted, with a compliant government, insatiable demand and an endless supply of capital turning it into "a speeding car with a gas pedal and no brakes." It sucks down critical and rapidly diminishing amounts of both natural gas and water, paying neither for its consumption of natural capital nor its environmental destruction, to the utter detriment of its host.

The Alberta Oil Sands - 2007-09-06
The boom in Canadian oil sands has only just begun. The higher oil prices we've seen over the last few years have opened a floodgate of projects and investment money.

The Canadian Oil Sands Boom - 2007-09-04

Oil Sands Production - 2007-08-14
Today, the most popular oil sands extraction method is dependent on natural gas. And considering that 80% of bitumen is located deep underground, the question is whether or not there is a future for oil sands once Canadian natural gas runs dry.

Book Review: A Thousand Barrels A Second - 2007-08-09
On the emotional subject of peak oil, there are two extremes of debate. Tertzakian helps bridge the gap between these extremes by explaining that yes, the challenge is serious, and gut-wrenching times are ahead... but we will ultimately see our way through.

Peak Oil Profits - 2007-08-07
The next twelve months are going to put the theory of peak oil to the test. The question is whether you'll be in the right position to take advantage of this crisis.

Fort McMurray: The Capital of Oil Sands - 2007-08-02

This week, the National Petroleum Council (NPC) finally coughed up a report that we've been awaiting for two years, ever since U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman asked them to determine "what the future holds for global oil and gas supply" and whether "incremental supplies can be brought on-line, on-time and at a reasonable price that does not jeopardize economic growth."
