Reuters: Western Canada's first crude-by-rail unit train terminal is set to start transporting 50,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude to the U.S. market next month, the CEO of operating company Canexus said.

A new report, Reality Check: Water and the Tar Sands, sets the record straight on industry claims that misrepresent the tar sands industrys use of the Athabasca River. The report counters claims by industry and industry-affiliated groups about the use of freshwater from the Athabasca River, the toxicity of tailings, the amount of tailings leaking into the watershed...
