Parution SUISSE - L’Alberta… Saoudite: boom économique et désastre écologique… par Patrice Halley
Saudi…Alberta, financial boom and ecological disaster…
Imagine Saudi Arabia in Canada, unthinkable ? think again! The tar sands, a geological feature unique in the world, are stretching over a 75 000 square kilometer area and contain more than 3000 billion of tons of hydrocarbons whose 300 billions tons are exploitable. This natural resource moved Canada ahead of oil producing countries, just behind Saudi Arabia! A manna for some, but a real nightmare for others. According to environmentalists the oil iproducedd in Alberta’s tar sands is the dirtiest in the world. Welcome into the country of colossal excess, where each grain of sand contains gold, black gold that is.
