World's largest tar sands deposits spark environmental crisis
May 10, 2007, Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada: Alberta's tar sands are currently estimated to contain a crude bitumen resource of 315-billion barrels, with remaining established reserves of almost 174-billion barrels, thus ranking Canada's oil resources as the second-largest in the world in terms of size. 119,4000 cubic-meters of synthetic crude oil per day were produced in 2006, with projections of that figure doubling within the next five years. The industry has brought wealth and sparked an economic boom in the region, but at a price. A new environmental disaster has been born, with contaminated fish and water filling area lakes. The Native-American tribes of the Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development. ///Aerial view of the Shell Albian Mine north of Fort McMurray.
