These two films have little in common. One is a documentary on jazz tap dancing, an esoteric film about an esoteric art.

Most significant, Alberta has huge additional "unconventional" sources of energy that are not yet economical to tap but will become increasingly feasible -and necessary-as oil prices rise. The basic sources are heavy bitumen oil and the tar sands, which together could provide as much as 320 billion bbl., or enough to supply the entire world demand for some 15 years at current rates...
