Why isn't the U.S. talking up investing more in the tar sands in Alberta? I seem to hear more about China jumping on the area than I do Americans. Mind you, American companies have been there for a while now. But what about future expansion/development/technology? Is there a push for that in the U.S.?

You do realize the tar sands in Alberta hold the second-largest oil reserve in the world, right?

If it weren't for all that damn sand.....
