Not to cause a crap storm, but I lived in McMurray and saw first hand what's going on. My biggest concern is that river. I don't buy what he's selling. Ask the people in Fort Makay. No to mention the water they can't use gets put into tailings ponds. Look that up and see what it does. It's a dirty waste of water they can't clean that gets spread out to the thinnest layer and they hope it gets evaporated so they can't do anything about it. Not to mention that these guys are cutting the land down to the next layer of the earth. Reclamation is at a standstill with the smallest amount turned back into forest. And what they have done, is at the entrance to the site to make it look wonderful.
I don't think comparing it to other damaging companies/ countries is fair either. It's' like comparing murders, well, he only killed 5 people, not 10.
I'm no hippie at all, that's what bothers me about it. I'm one to spend money, drive a truck and leave my lights on, yet it bothered me too much to live up there.
