Hello
Before it is no longer broadcast and for those who have not seen it.

Besides, thinking about it given the gas and oil that are one, should not 'changed energy efficiency.

Yes I saw it too, but for that, the real damage is certainly still ahead of us, because if the dam drops.

Yeah ... it's not rosy, far from it, like there is no "miracle" solution :(

What is most worrying are the landslides ... this is what screwed up the Vajont dam, described in the film La folie des Hommes with Auteil as chief engineer: https://www.econologie.com/la-folie-des- ... -2495.html

I made it a dedicated subject: https://www.econologie.com/forums/barrage-de ... 10935.html

If I remember correctly, you have a bad experience with them, yet.
he narrates as said at the beginning just because although it is not their fight
original they want to be a relay among many others, their source are multiple.

I don't have a particularly bad personal experience, I don't like some of their too extremist approaches ...

But it's about fukushima, so I don't see the connection with this subject?

It's true no relation, but it followed the film so you spoke on the dam,
and therefore ultimately human stupidity.

Hello everyone,

The Green Party of Canada and ICTV of Victoria organized a conference with Andrew Nikiforuk on the challenges of the oil sands development.

You can watch the conference and the comments by the leader of the Green Party, Madame May at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiNgiPkF0TY

The main message is that, if we continue to exploit this resource as we do now and if we double or triple production as planned, we will run headlong into an environmental AND ECONOMIC disaster.

Some very eloquent figures and examples:

The land moved to date corresponds to 7 Panama canals.
We have accumulated 6 billion barrels of toxic residues in gigantic ponds, which would fill a canal 10 m wide and 10 m deep, from Vancouver to Halifax!
It would cost $ 20 billion to treat these residues, while only $ XNUMX billion has been set aside for this purpose.
The equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil leaks into the environment every year via air pollution that falls to the ground (measured on snow)
We want to double and even triple production within 20 years


The harmful effects on our economy:


Air pollution and the cost of its effects on health
The decontamination will have to be taken care of by the citizens with a very salty bill
Canada Loses Many Manufacturing Jobs Due To Dollar “Strength”
Penalties will be imposed on our exports because we manage dirty energy
Green energies will suffer



And I'm going to stop there to keep it brief.

Of course I highly recommend watching the video to find out more.


Sincerely

Pierre Langlois, Ph.D.
