We wouldn't have costly investigations and costly "fixes" for a problem that would never exist if not for cronyism. |

As to the tar sands crude (which we don't need), the net energy is miniscule after tallying up the cost of production. ROI insufficient to justify the costs. One would do better in a low interest savings account. |
