That's video made me want to throw up also. It's the unnatural hole in the ground, what was taken out, and where it is now.
Digging is fun. If I had more money, I might hire a fleet of trucks and dig a big hole just cause. Did it as a kid in the sandbox, why not as an adult? And, if you fill it back up nice and smooth it out, it's like it was never there. But if you take out all the carbon, and send it off to be burned, does it really matter an iota of fuck if they plant some trees after?
I mean I guess fixing the landscape is better than leaving a big hole in the ground. Should have just left it alone.
Oh I'm with you on the prevention side; especially with oil sands - it's a marginal product at best with huge env. Damage.
For reference, they don't backfill because it's stupid expensive and the operation wouldn't be profitable. You would also likely have major subsidence issues.
