Although tar sands occur in more than 70 countries, the two largest are Canada and Venezuela, with the bulk being found in four different regions of Alberta, Canada: areas of Athabasca, Wabasha, Cold Lake and Peace River. The sum of these covers an area of nearly 77,000 km2. In fact, the reserve that is deemed to be technologically retrievable today is estimated at 280-300Gb (billion barrels). This is larger than the Saudi Arabia oil reserves, which are estimated at 240Gb. The total reserves for Alberta, including oil not recoverable using current technology, are estimated at 1,700- 2,500Gb.
290Gb / 0.1321Gb = 21,958 days or 60 years
plus we (US) have approximately 1-TRILLION recoverable barrels in the Green River basin... do the math
I've never had a problem with my 2.4GHz Panasonic phone and 802.11b Linksys WiFi.
However, my 900MHz phone couldn't make it out of my apartment, whereas my 2.4GHz phone has at least a 1/4 mile range in my urban environment. I used to carry it with me shopping, dining, and at the movies befor I got a cell phone.
As in most things in life, quality does make a difference.

I come here for the comments. "." 100%

I also read Digg and reddit; but for the links ONLY.
No worries,
Can someone please explain to me how this is going to stop the 18-wheeler who backed into me today WHILE I WAS DEAD STOPPED?
