EcoWatch: The Vietnam War might seem irrelevant to the environmental movements five-year effort to stop construction of the Keystone XL pipeline that, if approved by President Obama, would bring tar sands oil from Alberta to the Texas coast for refining and shipment overseas. But the more I look at the situation, the more I see worrisome similarities. Both American war planners and environmental movement leaders made the same strategic mistake: conceptualizing transportation as a single fixed conduit that...
Canada: Rising Prices Natural Gas Put Pressure Oil Sands Producers

Glboe and Mail: Oil sands companies, which have benefited from years of low natural gas prices, are once again facing rising costs as the commodity they need to fuel much of their operations becomes more expensive.

Natural gas is an unavoidable expense in these projects, because it is needed to heat water to...

ThinkProgress: Residents of British Columbia, Canada are pushing back against Enbridge`s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline, a 731-mile twin pipeline project that, if given final approval, would carry tar sands oil from Alberta to Canada`s west coast. On Saturday, residents of Kitimat, B.C. - the last stop of the proposed pipeline`s route - voted no to the pipeline`s construction in a non-binding ballot. Until this vote, Kitimat as a whole hadn`t voiced an opinion on the pipeline - now, the city council will...
