Stupid to the Last Drop by William Marsden

Written by Neil Galloway

I just finished reading Stupid to the Last Drop: How Alberta Is Bringing Environmental Armageddon to Canada (And Doesn't Seem to Care). It is a very interesting look at the oil industry in Alberta and I would recommend it for anyone who lives in Canada or is from here to read.

It covers a lot of history as to how the industry developed and is also very critical of the Alberta government and industry in general in terms of the environmental policy (or lack thereof).

Be warned: it is very critical and does not portray a very positive image of the province in general. Regardless of your opinion though, it is a worthwhile read with a lot of interesting points to consider and debate.

We must take care of our environment and conserve our natural resources. We need to concentrate on the improvement of current renewable energy sources and a major emphasis placed on the exploration of new alternative energy resources.

At the moment the media has us focused away from the environment and brainwashed with corporate propaganda. As if the environment is not our problem. Because tax cuts and corporate give aways are more critical than the air we breathe.
Sad
