You would have to ask a Canadian about that one, to know for sure. My educated guess is they find it economically profitable at today's prices. I don't need to ask because I already know the answer. WE ARE RUNNNG OUT OF OIL. As to cost: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_sands#Cost_of_oil_sands_petroleum-mining_operationsIn their May 2019 comparison of the "cost of supply curve update" in which the Norway-based Rystad Energy—an "independent energy research and consultancy"—ranked the "worlds total recoverable liquid resources by their breakeven price", Rystad reported that the average breakeven price for oil from the oil sands was US$83 in 2019, making it the most expensive to produce, compared to all other "significant oil producing regions" in the world. The International Energy Agency made similar comparisons Yes more expensive to produce, but much cheaper by distance to deliver to a big consumer like the US, vs let's say, Saudi Arabia. Over all, economically feasible. You not taking into consideration all of the factors, and are reaching an erroneous conclusion.

Our refineries can't just take all light sweet crude either, we are not set up for that, so the heavy crude market is right here in the U.S. and a relatively short trip from Canada. Even green technology needs large amounts of grease and lubricating oil for the moving parts. Overall U.S. refining capacity is geared toward a diverse range of crude oil inputs, so it can be uneconomic to run some refineries solely on light or heavy crude oil,” the EIA added.
The fastest-growing U.S. production is from shale formations and with API gravity of 40 to 50 degrees, the EIA has estimated, adding that oil with 40-50 degrees gravity accounted for 56 percent of the production in Texas last year, thanks to the Permian and the Eagle Ford.
While light oil production is booming, refineries still need heavier crudes, and most of the U.S. oil imports consist of heavy oil. Last year, 7.5 million bpd, or 97 percent, of all imported crude oil had an API gravity of 40 or lower, the EIA says.link

The "GMA" morning TV show on ABC is doing a special from Easter Island about how 'climate change' is going to ruin that island. It's the same gobbley gook and rising oceans causing doom and in 10 years Easter Island won't be no more if something is not done blah, blah and more blah. I did find the scenery great it's darn pretty there it's a very tiny island in the middle of the ocean. Some people say that's where the Easter Bunny lives in the off season.

It's a faith based belief, non-falsefiable/un-testable. Huge tragedy, alway's some time in the future. There is no 'crisis', just a lot of fearmongering.

A lot of people who would say that also say the end of the world is near because Jesus is coming soon. Don't you find that a bit ironic? I haven't met anyone yet, who's going to survive being alive.

I'm sensing perhaps some cognitive dissonance? It called not caring about the religion. Either one. Like with the oil markets, your information is incomplete and I have trouble remaining interested in your half baked conclusions. If you don't want to insult, I can do that type of discussion too.

In order to transport the oil sands, the natural bitumen is processed or diluted. Bitumen has its own set of issues when it comes to pipelines and the cost of production is prohibitive.

When something goes political the first causality is science & facts. Only now the real facts are coming out about COVID and everything they told us turned out to be wrong from our immune system won't work against COVID to where the virus came from looks like all those conspiracy theories were right all along. People got banned from social media for telling the truth and reporting facts."Climate change" is the biggest hoax being played on a global scale, they used to call it "global warming" but there was not really any warming, so they changed the name to "climate change" to cover everything in one big blanket. No matter what the climate does they got it covered. Fact is earths climate is always changing earth never had one un-changing climate or era, ice ages come and go we had warm periods and cold periods. This is all political.. Back in the 1970's some of the same people who talked of global cooling and a coming ice age as fact now say the planet is overheating. The consensus was there back in the 1970's and they have since switched 180 degrees and said the planet is getting hotter."TIME" mag &"Newsweek" had cover stories on the coming ice age in the mid-1970's.

I'm no scientist but never saw a winter here so mild with only a few inches of snow. Only roughly 3-4 days all winter in the single digits.

The people who don't accept the fact of anthropogenic global warming will never admit they are wrong no matter how bad things get. It's senseless to even argue with them. The people who believe in anthropogenic global warming will never admit they're wrong no matter how many facts disprove their religious beliefs. It's like arguing with Moonies or Scientologists. The data shows NO global warming for the last 8 years. And further back the FACTS tell the same story. It's all part of the ecoifascist agenda to impoverish the world.

If you don't want to insult, I can do that type of discussion too. Not sure why you find acknowledging the irony of criticizing one set of doomsayers while promoting another doomsday scenario difficult. Not sure why you're saying this. (bolded) Which one am I promoting ? Link to my post showing promotion of either religion's doomsday scenario would be appreciated, so I can read it. Then I'll happily answer your irony question, and maybe ask another question of you.

Then I'll happily answer your irony question, and maybe ask another question of you. Not saying YOU are but that others DO and I find that ironic, don't YOU? Considering that for AGW there is at least evidence where the other has none, only faith. Others post what they want. I don't take part nor read the traditional religious discussions on forums. So, no comment on this. Being agnostic, I won't promote nor diss someone's religious beliefs, even in an oblique manner while answering questions about irony. I hope that helps, and the reasoning for my previous noncommittal answer, then followed by an OK.

I am seeing climate change in action right before my eyes. Year by year I see a definite change in weather patterns just where I live.

One bad thing up in Canada is the tick explosion due to warmer weather that is literally killing off deer. ticks and mosquitos. Horrible things. Since I have been here, I have seen a big decline in deer and moose numbers sadly.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but you can have some of ours. We're overpopulated with them.

Have to find a way to transport them over here lol.
Sadly hunters and the cold climate and ticks and diseases seem to have taken many of them here.

People continue (either through simple confusion, as a result of brainwashing or deliberate deception) to confuse WEATHER with CLIMATE.
Weather is constantly changing and is measured on a rapid basis.
Climate change can ONLY be monitored over a period of time (30 years being the generally accepted minimum)
The constant attempt to conflate weather with climate is frankly infuriating.
In years to come I strongly believe that future generations will look upon the 'climate change/global warming' cultists as being exponents of a pseudo-science every bit as much as we now look upon phrenology - an outdated superstition.
