Tar Sands

The Tar Sands (the oil lobby prefers to call them "Oil Sands" as the original word is biased by the criticism of the Anti-Tar Sands movement) represent the maybe dirtiest way to produce oil. In Northern Alberta (Canada) very rich deposits of soil containing oil can be found. The oil industry is currently exploiting these resources inconsiderately with the support and by invitation of the Albertan government.
