Canada: No one knows how to stop these tar-sands oil spills

Grist: Thousands of barrels of tar-sands oil have been burbling up into forest areas for at least six weeks in Cold Lake, Alberta, and it seems that nobody knows how to staunch the flow. An underground oil blowout at a big tar-sands operation run by Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. has caused spills at four different sites over the past few months. (This is different from the 100-acre spill in Alberta that we told you about last month, which was caused by a ruptured pipeline.) Media and others have...

Grist: As more oil is being shipped by train across North America, more oil is being spilled from trains. EnergyWire reports: The number of spills and other accidents from railroad cars carrying crude oil has skyrocketed in recent years, up from one or two a year early in the previous decade to 88 last year. Most of the spills are relatively small - nothing like the deadly disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, earlier this month - but with oil shipments on the rise, there`s cause to be concerned. Oil...
Deepwater Horizon blamed for still more oil spills
2013-07-19 17:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: More than three years after the Deepwater Horizon exploded, triggering the worst oil spill in American history, the sunken wreckage of the rig may still be leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Beginning in the fall of last year and continuing through the winter, mysterious oil sheens were spotted in the vicinity of the rig wreckage. A team of researchers set about trying to figure out exactly where the oil was coming from by studying its chemical composition. They matched the slicks to samples...
