[edit] merge Orinoco Belt with Orinoco tar sands?

Interesting, both articles date back to 2005.

  • Orinoco Tar Sands was started seven months earlier.
  • Orinoco Belt is longer, has more edits, and more articles link to it.

Darn, I guess we should go with Orinoco Belt.

Annoying because I never agreed with the move of Athabasca Tar Sands to Athabasca Oil Sands -- which I saw as a surrender to power of deceitful spin doctors. Oil Sands being the new term invented by shills to mask how truly dirty current extraction methods are. Geo Swan (talk) 03:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Water supply?

In Alberta every barrel extracted requires several barrels of water. Alberta is relatively dry. The Athabasca water that is used contains a large measure of glacial meltwater. What is the water supply like in the Orinoco region?
