h2oil :: wha?

The war for oil is well underway across the globe. 

Alberta’s oil sands are at the centre of this tension. As the province rushes towards a large-scale extraction, the social, ecological and human impacts are hitting a crisis point. In only a few short years the continent will be a crisscross of pipelines, reaching from the arctic all the way to the southern US, leaving toxic water basins the size of Lake Ontario, and surface-mines as large as Florida.

This project also impacts the earth's ability to adapt to the rapid changes as a result of water extraction and the emission of greenhouse gases.
