Oil will be around for a long time. I do believe at some point we won't need the gasoline portion of it AS MUCH, but we still need all the other stuff we get from it.
The oil sands are the most popular thing to bash for the morons in the US who seem to think that getting oil from Saudi Arabia is better, and for the NDP hypocrites, who are just going for political brownie points.
With time they'll forget about it, and development will just keep on chugging along. And you know what else will keep on going? R&D into making the whole process a lot cleaner. Maybe carbon capture is the way of the future, and if it is, I would venture a pretty good guess that Alberta will lead the way. The Alberta government loves to throw around money like drunken fools, so maybe for a change they sunk a couple billion into the right idea.
