Actually, it says:
> In 2017, the Alberta oil sands produced roughly 912m barrels.
The article doesn't actually tell us the whole history, it just cherry-picks one year.
There's other suspicious playing with numbers going on:
> About 60% was turned into gasoline and diesel, enough to fuel 73m vehicles
So.. if 100% had been turned into fuel for those vehicles, that would translate to.. 122m vehicles, weirdly identical to their number for electric vehicles.
Then they're comparing a 12L/100km (19.6mpg) ICE vehicle against a Chevy Bolt in the pricing section?
Not much to see here, sadly.
