Seach Interest in the Tar Sands Peaked in 2006

Here are some charts showing how Google searches of terms tar sands, oil sands, and fracking compare. On a regional basis, searches for terms like tar sands or oil sands are mostly from Canada. This is a bit of a surprise, since the assumption here in Canada is that the world is very interested in the tar sands. It appears that there is much more interest in fracking.

  1. I presume Ezra Levant would want tarsands rebranded forever as "ethical oil" but thankfully most of the world isn't buying it (or his book for that matter). Fracking article from National Geographic here: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/03/bakken-shale-oil/dobb-text
