Extreme Oil Drilling

In order to get oil flowing freely in the cold tundra, hot steam is pumped into the ground using massive amounts of energy.

@TerrierBram I wouldnt mind if we switched to hemp or something cleaner either. But unless your career involves researching the issue so we can change government policy, or engineering the technology and infrastructure we need for renewable power, then you arent helping the cause. Don't just sit there on your ass complaining about something that you are benefiting from.

Drilling for expensive, hard to get at, oil isn't the cheap oil needed to run our society....There's no way around not lowering our standard of living unless whole other countries stop using oil so we can continue using the drug...

Heading up to a drilling job in Alberta's oil-sands. For the last 15 months I've been to 27 cities as a street performing beat boxer meeting green-peace activists on the street who make big money through sign-ups by scaring people with out-dated photo's of the tar-sands. The gift of oil is just like pot,there's always going to be someone campaigning making money by trying to stop it. Real protesters ( and corporations) use their money's actions for the worlds art project. currently its oil.

oil drilling must be doing massive amounts of damage. Imagine the amounts of constant pollution it must do to the ocean. This could be quite a dangerous experiement being conducted.

yes keep drilling til the Earth collapses.. so much alternative (endless and clean) energy available and we still run on oil - it's laughable

Actually Germany is heavily dependent on Russian gas (and Gazprom make sure Germany stays that way, by funding anti-nuclear activists there), and is planning to build more coal-fired power stations. It's Germany's western neighbour France which shows the way to ending fossil fuel dependence, with it big fleet of nuclear reactors.

With enough nuclear power we could also make artificial oil for transportation use -- look up Los Alamos's "Green Freedom" project.

drill baby dril,fuck all of you enviro fucks,try to go a week without using some form of oil. you stupid fucks would all die.that would not be a bad thing tough.

how can these guys sleep at knight knowing that they are constantly polluting the ocean with oil and killing marine life. These guys don't care how many sea cretures they kill in the proccess. This is gonna fuck the planet faster than a bullet. We don't need crude oil. its just getting us into bigger mess.
