<p>This is good - but the generation of the steam is a huge
problem. When we left Alberta in 2005, the water situation had
already become acute. The rivers cannot sustain the enormous use
of surface water by the tar sands. The rural situation was
becoming dire with the dropping of water levels in wells because
of the use of groundwater.</p>
<p>It can take up to 3 barrels of water to produce one barrel of
oil. Think of that in terms of a million barrels of oil produced
each and every day. (That's not even to touch on the question of
the resulting toxic wastewater.)<br>
