My brain is mush. My body hurts. Disneyland is more fun the following couple of days when you are younger. Watching the the little ones have fun is always wonderful.
Anyhoo, not much coverage of this topic, and I think it's important damnit! We have a prez who pushed us into fucking WW III over this shit for Chrissakes.
As prices surge, oil giants turn sludge into gold

FORT MCMURRAY, Alberta -- In February, engineers from French oil giant Total SA fired up colossal drum boilers to generate steam that will be pumped to a depth of 300 feet under the frozen ground here. If all goes well, by May, the steam will marinate a tar-like mix of oil and sand until the crude begins to flow.
Nearby, Total will go after the oil-soaked sands closer to the surface, scraping away an ancient forest of spruce and poplars and shoveling the black soil into two-story dump trucks. Fully loaded, the trucks weigh as much as a Boeing 747. Total will then use industrial versions of giant washing machines to remove the oil, generating enough liquid waste to create vast toxic lakes.
Ummm...yeah, I don't think T Boone Pickens gives a shit about toxic lakes.
And the good news, I think, no nevermind, I'm still too tired to think, make what you will of it.
