Ok, so in my last post I used the recent WalMart trickery as an example. But that was just the tip of the metaphorical ice-burg.
So now let's look at other myths and things out there...
Global warming is a HUGE issue that affects EVERYONE!. But then why are there so little legitamate* plans to stop it?
Let's look at Syncrude. They claim to be saving the environment by replanting and reclaiming the land thay they no longer use. While this process is great, kudos to them, they just promote this mainly to distract people form, the fact that their refineries are some of the most unefficient in the world! Yes, Syncrudes' main op on Refinery Row is operating at a mere 65% efficiency, compared to the industry standard 80%, and the nationalm average of 98.354. That's right, they don't even meet the standards that THEY organized.
That's just pathetic...
But what does 65% efficiency mean? That means that only 65% of the oil they proccess goes into our gas tanks. What happens to the rest? This low-octane liquid is burned uselessly in a dirty mannar or it is poured into vats which ultimataly leak into the environment.
So there you go... Pathetric.
Let's not support a company that is to cheap to upgrade their refineries from 60's tech that it's sporting. Let's not support the constant destruction of our earth.
