The Transmountain Expansion can handle all the oil we produce. What we are not talking about is the prospects of expansion of the oil sands!
Until the Conservatives and the oil companies come up with a solution to eradicate or mitigate the settling ponds in Northern Alberta, there should be no talk of expansion! Those ponds are laced with rare metals and elements also, Arsenic Salts and Cyanide Salts. Enough so to class the ponds as a hazardous material.
Because of their nature rules are in place, if you take water out of the contaminated lake, you have to keep it. You can't put it back into the lake. This pretty much kills the chances of large scale centrifuge operations or like processes the future will come up with. I say again, No more Tar Sands Expansion until the lakes are in hand!
