Drop those pants and bend over Canada, cause here comes the cavalry!

I realize that this translate into big money for a lot of you in the oilpatch, but the only way I can support this is a cleaner extraction process can be found (perhaps five times cleaner, at the minimum!).

I guess we will really see how Stephen Harper will keep his word on the environment. Something tells me this will be an election issue for many years to come (from an environmental angle, and the rest of Canada wanting it's share). As much as people talk about reclamation, the oil sands is one of Canada's biggest polluters at the moment. Increasing that five-fold without some RADICAL ways it is done will be pretty catastrophic to the environment.
