Oil Platform Explosion in the Gulf of Mexico
As another oil related issue hits the Gulf of Mexico, we are once again made aware of the dangers and consequences of this industry on the environment.
Our new acquisition, PETROPOLIS, through aerial perspectives of the Alberta Tar Sands offers an unparalleled view of the world's largest industrial, capital and energy project. Canada's tar sands are an oil reserve the size of England. Extracting the crude oil called bitumen from underneath unspoiled wilderness requires a massive industrialized effort with far-reaching impacts on the land, air, water, and climate.
