The production of oil in Alberta will drop sharply because of falling demand (not shortage, as early "peak oil" theorists predicted) but there will still be a need for fossil fuels for several years. Many wells have been abandoned that still contain some of the less polluting type. Keith Hirsche proposes to install solar generators of power to extract that remaining oil. This plan is better than the remaining probable alternatives.
