3. What kind of bullshit hype IS this??

Haven't I heard several times that the EROEI (Energy Returned on Energy Invested) is something like 3:1 from these oil sands, as opposed to 10 or more to 1 from most oil fields? That alone, plus the more difficult refining processes, means that even if there were that much available oil it would cost out the wazoo.

Anything to keep the sheep fat and complacent, eh?
