Tar sands retrieved by surface mining has an EROI of only about 5:1, according to research scheduled to be released Tuesday. Tar sands retrieved from deeper beneath the earth, through steam injection, fares even worse, with a maximum...

Canada: Government Hones Oil Sands Message with Focus Groups
2013-02-19 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBC: Focus-group testing on what the Harper government calls its Responsible Resource Development campaign found the advertising to be light on facts but uplifting and patriotic, according to a government-commissioned study. The fruits of that taxpayer-funded labour will again be on display this spring as a second wave of ads -- designed to persuade Canadians of "the importance and impact of Canada's energy sector" -- hits the air. Natural Resources Canada has budgeted $9 million in the current...
