Toxic lakes of waste water from tar sands oil extraction
dimanche 24 novembre 2013 à 13:00Oil companies plan to create enormous toxic lakes full of waste water from tar sands oil extraction.
There is no way of knowing how far the toxins will spread. At low temperatures they may degrade especially slowly. (Toxic metals last forever, unless they happen to be radioactive.)
If the cost of proper disposal of these toxins were included in the cost of that oil, it would be so expensive that nobody would buy it today.
