Oh damn... I'm tired...but let me try to explain...
Let's say the right wing of Canada wanted to rape the plains of ...say, Alberta...the "Texas" of Canada, and rip off layers and layers of soil and substrate, destroying thousands and thousands of pristine lands and forests using precipitious amounts of natural resources to eek out a bit of shale oil.
Let's say the effort would never be accomplished without tugging at the heartstrings of those other residents of Canada...you know, those far more unaware of their agenda...by picturing their plans as something all warm and fuzzy and embracing the minds of amateur tree huggers while simultaneously tickling the nationalistic, bigoted fantasies of their own islamophobic followers by creating blogs and creatively worded letters to the editor of local newspapers.
Let's give it a name that would placate the minds of both groups in an attempt to make them think they're doing the right thing.
Let's name it "ETHICAL"!
So I'm guessing you're opposed to this?

This significant production boost will occur as a result of utilizing a new definition of oil and generous estimates for the amount of liquids-rich shale production that can occur, The Oil Drum reports.
The investment bank has claimed that the country's daily production of oil will grow from 8.3 million to 10.9 million barrels of oil per day (Mbopd) by the year 2017, according to the media outlet. This level of production would exceed both Saudi Arabia and Russia, which is currently the top oil producer. The European and Asian country should only increase its oil production by 100,000 barrels during this period, which would result in a total output of 10.7 Mbopd, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
How Goldman Sachs arrived at its current production estimate of 8.3 Mbopd is ambiguous, The Oil Drum reports. The Energy Information Agency states that daily production averaged 5.6 Mbopd in June. The media outlet speculates that the investment bank erroneously included natural gas liquids and liquefied refinery gases in oil, but even then the numbers only total 7.8 Mbopd.
