That is nonsense, not factual. Yes there is foreign investment but I wouldn't expect a socialist like you to even comprehend the benefits of that. And its the oil and gas industry. We do not extract tar. It is a product of certain types of crude oil.

I have no issue with someone trying to make money in alternative energy. I have an issue when foreign interests are interfering in the affairs of a sovereign nation. They do not attack their own oil industry in this fashion.
