Heard a programe on R4 about tar sands in Canada and extraction of crude oil and it got me thnking.
A map of Roccamorice and Lettomanoppello shows several bitumen mines in the area and I have come across some weird dried tar like substance while digging out around some old outbuildings in our garden.It occurred to me that this could be bitumen?
I wonder if it will be considered worthwhile to start mining bitumen again? It would probably be a disaster for the local area if this did happen.
