Environmentalism is attacking Alberta's oil sands industry The Tar Sands Campaign and the Suppression of North America's Energy Potential By William Walter Kay Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Environmentalism is attacking Alberta's oil sands industry. Their "Tar Sands" campaign is best understood when placed within the grand crusade to suppress North America's energy potential. <http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/print-friendly/36663> Canadad USA have combined oil reserves of several trillion barrels. Over 2 trillion barrels are recoverable with existing technology at current prices. Combined Canadian and American petroleum consumption is 10 billion barrels a year. These countries possess centuries of oil supply. The oil sands are not the only oil reserve besieged by environmentalists. The kerogen beds of Colorado, the conventional oil reservoirs under the <http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/print-friendly/36663> Alaskanal Wildlife Refuge, and the deposits off British Columbia's coast are among the many mammoth reserves kept from development by environmentalists. The "Tar Sands" campaign involves hundreds of environmental groups animated with millions of dollars from a few dozen foundations, corporations, and government agencies. Between 2006 and 2011 these groups planted 4,000 misinformation-laden anti-oil sands articles into the mainstream media. 10% of the oil imported into North America comes through two dynasties, the Irvings and the Pews - both major benefactors of environmentalism. A 2011 US Chamber of Commerce report identified 351 environmentalist activist campaigns blocking specific American energy proposals. The Sierra Club was leading over 100 local campaigns against coal-fired electricity. Solar power industry front man, David Gelbaum, gave the Sierra Club $200 million.
