Risks of exploiting low-quality sources of oil
Soaring oil prices and demands for energy security are boosting the attractiveness of low-quality sources of petroleum, such as tar sands and coal, at the risk of causing significant environmental damage and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, according to a new study.

CERA says peak oil theory is faulty
In contrast to [peak oil theory], a new analysis by Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) finds that the remaining global oil resource base is actually 3.74 trillion barrels — three times as large as the 1.2 trillion barrels estimated by the theory’s proponents — and that the “peak oil” argument is based on faulty analysis which could, if accepted, distort critical policy and investment decisions and cloud the debate over the energy future.
Oilsands activity threatens water supply: study
A new study states that the water supply required for Canadian Oil sands production is unsustainable. Environmental damages related to bitumen production could eventually affect an area the size of England.
