|
|
Taken on June 13/07. Getting the job done on Saltspring Island, British Columbia. Ward Drummond is on the lowbed, this is my rock truck going up to our northern gold property eventually, but we're just moving the truck around on the island today - hence the small lowbed. Still a good video. |

[815] Oil Change - Part 2 of 2
|
|
24 June 2008
The price of oil and petrol has reached - well the stratosphere (Ha - you have seen nothing yet) - and you might be forgiven for thinking that the world is running out of the stuff (We are), but in fact there are huge deposits just waiting to be exploited across the Tasman.
Billions of barrels worth trapped inside rock - the Aussie's are eyeing it up - dreaming of untold riches, and it's not pie in the sky. The Canadians are already extracting oil from sand by the truckload.
It's a brave new frontier, though of course there is a nasty catch.
***********************
Right then yes there is plenty in the ground - but the process to get it out of the ground and processed into anything useful is incredibly difficult and resource intensive.
The issue about running out of oil is not about how much is in the ground - it is about how much can be produced on a daily basis.
"Oil sands production is close to a million barrels a day, a little more than 1 per cent of global production. It's going to take a huge amount of effort, capital and time, maybe ten years, to double Canadian oil sands production. It's true that the Canadian resource is huge, but accessibility is long and slow. Our impact will be very slow." - Syncrude's Chairman of the Board - Marcel Coutu - July 2008. |

[203] Beijing worker risks his life to demolish part of a building
|
|
Demolition crew in Beijing improvise to get their job done.
I took this from my living room window.
This demolition project is 200m away from the tallest building in Beijing in the heart of the CBD. As you will see the developer who has bought the land, Soho China, is knocking down the existing building while trying to save as much money as possible and with little regard to the safety of the workers. They need to get the job down as quick as they can with very few men and machines. The only way is to risk their lives ad as shown in this video.. |
