And thanks for making my point for me.
That's not even a picture of the oilsands, it's a coal mine in Germany.

Too many people are getting on the "Oilsands are dirty oil" bandwagon without any sort of background knowledge or context.

Are the oilsands perfect? Of course not, but they certainly aren't unique either.

It's just like a few months ago with Greenpeace in California called for a boycott of Alberta tourism to protest dirty Alberta oil.
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let someone who lives anywhere near Bakersfield California lecture me about dirty oil.

Sure there's room for improvement, there always will be, but this is just a new cause that's become popular without any logical reasoning why it should be chosen over any number of other "causes".
