This gem from the CBC informing me that "Oilsands may face severe water shortage..." pretty much blew the gears out of the Lame-O-Meter here at Falling Downs.
We're not worried about the water needs of local native communities.
We're not worried about the water needs of Fort Mac or anywhere downstream of the oil sand developments.
We're not worried about the water needs of agriculture in Western Canada...
All of these are mere afterthoughts.
No, what sets off alarm bells is the thought that an industry that needs four barrels of water to produce a barrel of bitumen could be threatened.
That is profoundly stupid!
