The changing economic viability of mining in Canada's tar sands oil industry in 2012-2015
08/01/2007
Costs of synthetic crude manufactured from mining bitumen can exceed $100 a barrel as costs escalate in the recent boom in Alberta oil sands region. U.S. crude prices have dropped below $90 a barrel putting some large multibillion projects of Suncor Energy on hold. Production from U.S. Bakken oil fields in N. Dakota and limited pipelie space is changing the economics of production from tar sands.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
