H2oil Page #6

Synopsis: Moving between a local microcosm and the global oil crisis, H2Oil weaves together a collection of compelling stories of people who are at the front lines of the biggest industrial project in human history: Canada's tar sands. H2Oil is a feature-length documentary that traces the wavering balance between the urgent need to protect and preserve fresh water resources and the mad clamoring to fill the global demand for oil. It is a film that asks: what is more important, water or oil? Will the quest for profit overshadow efforts to protect public health and the environment in Canada's richest province?

There is a big demand

crack in the street

then there is always a supplier.

There is a big demand for oil

while Alberta will continue

to provide it as there will be.

If it takes 200 or 300 years

to remove it completely,

they will do.

What next?

We create a vicious circle

contamination

and depletion of water.

All that to extract

oil from the ground.

And it's not a chance.

It is created and run by technology.

We want to maintain a

relatively easy way of life.

We want to continue

the American dream.

And we believe that

technology will allow us to find

solutions to problems

real that lie ahead.

The pressure on oil reserves,

on climate and on our resources

be relieved by a

technological solution.

There will be one. We will find it.

The new technician

that captures and stores carbon,

is the subject of this statement.

When it is fully

marketed,

it will collect

CO2 emissions

due to the operation

oil sands

and central

thermal coal

and store them underground.

Americans

and Canadians say

the oil sands

are dirty oil

because extraction methods.

Would you say it

dirty oil?

We know that the oil sands

create a big impact on CO2.

I think the United States

and Canada can work together

for carbon capture

and greenhouse gas emissions

before they are

released into the atmosphere.

And it will be good for everyone.

Because if we do not

we will reach a ceiling

limiting development

our economy

and quality of life

we hold dear.

I think technology

solve this problem.

It is assumed

these natural resources are there.

That even if they are not

renewable in some cases

technology will

to our rescue.

But one day we will

face the big question:

do we

continue to lead

a lifestyle that is unsustainable?

We have become

highly dependent on oil,

at all levels,

and that's the problem.

With the oil sands

we touch the bottom.

Faced with the scarcity of fresh water

and changes

climate undeniable

our dependence on oil

has never been more evident.

The only real solution

is to change our way

life unbearable.

Finally, Dr.

O'Connor has been silenced

for about a year.

When his case was submitted

the College of Physicians

and Surgeons,

He was cleared of all

the charges, except one.

He is still accused of

unduly panicked population.

Come.

I am very anxious that the situation

back to normal.

Let's focus on that.

And I do not know if it

return to normal.

I received a letter.

The College of Physicians

has yet written to the lawyer.

Doctors at Health Canada

analyzed the situation

and we still wonder

to summarize the facts.

I have nothing new to say

and I stand by everything I said.

In hindsight, I must say

it was extremely stressful

and it is not finished.

Ah! Look at that!

- It's much better.

- But it is still low.

Let's see what we have here.

It was full when my parents

found that source.

You feel a little better

because they have canceled plans

pipeline and drilling.

For now. We do not know

not what that means.

For the future, I do not know.

I would like to

something in place

before operations resume.

Now

is the calm before the storm.

Just as the price of oil

increases and they will come back.

If there is something interesting here

they'll take it.

That's the problem.

I do not know if I

want to export water.

It is no longer a business issue.

I changed my mind.

Do I want to produce

million plastic bottles?

It's part of our problem.

This is even more

unnecessary waste.

So now

I think more to the conservation

water than profits.

What they do is wrong.

And I'm not afraid

to express my concerns

and even to protest.

It is not just

First Nations,

but all of Canada.

And I do not think

should support the war

rampant

in the world with our oil

which is operating here,

in the Athabasca region.

I am convinced.

I know why I

leading this battle.

It is for this reason.

It is not only

to preserve the nature,

but to protect my people.

Because if everything disappears,

it is almost certain

that we will disappear as well.

A study of Health

Canada now admits

the number of cancer Fort

Chipewyan was higher than expected.

In 2009, the First Nation

The Athabasca Chipewyan

filed suit against

the Government of Canada.
