This series depicts the Alberta Tar Sands. These are the third greatest proven oil reserves in the world, the largest single foreign source of oil for the United States, and the largest energy project in the world. Their large carbon footprint, vast toxic tailings ponds, and resulting massive destruction of the surrounding boreal forest, have led some to claim it is the most ecologically damaging single industrial project on Earth.
