-90% of the fresh water used in the oil sands ends up in tailing lakes so toxic that propane cannons and floating scarecrows are used to keep ducks from landing in them.
-an accident related to the failure of one of the oil sands tailings ponds could have catastrophic impact in the aquatic ecosystem of the Mackenzie River Basin due to the size of these lakes and their proximity to the Athabasca River.
-flock of migrating ducks landed on a tar sands toxic lake and died
-oil sands uses enough natural gas in a day to heat 3 million homes in Canada
-the main idea is the tar sands use up so any of the resources and the caust is to high. It is ridiculous how much it is taking away from all the other citizens.
