60 Minutes Story on Demand for Oilsands
"We don't have to tell you about the world fuel crisis, we all feel the pain every time we drive into a service station. But here's something you may not know. There is an answer and part of it's right here in our own backyard. We are talking about shale oil. There are huge deposits here in Australia, just waiting to be exploited. Then there are oil sands, which are already being mined on a massive scale in the wilds of Canada. It's an amazing sight, this new frontier. With tales of untold riches and untapped oil, enough to last more than a hundred years. But, as Liam Bartlett discovered, there is a catch." Quote from Australian 60 Minutes program
