Judge rules against 'megaloads' of tar sands equipment in Idaho
2013-09-13 18:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: A federal judge has ruled that the massive hauls of equipment bound for the Canadian oil tar sands cannot use a narrow highway that runs through forested areas and Nez Perce tribal lands in Idaho. Judge Lynn Winmill granted an injunction Thursday that halts the so-called megaloads -- the most recent reportedly weighing 644,000 pounds and stretching more than 200 feet -- until U.S. Forest Service officials finish a review of U.S. Highway 12 and consult with the Nez Perce, whose reservation is part...

Green groups: Keystone XL to increase tar sands production by 36 per cent
2013-08-30 12:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: The Keystone XL pipeline would boost oil production from Canadian tar sands by at least 36 per cent leading to an inevitable increase in greenhouse gas emissions, according to a major new report from a coalition of US green NGOs. The group of more than a dozen organisations, including the Sierra Club, 350.org, and Oil Change International, released the report yesterday in response to President Obama's recent pledge that he would only approve the project if it "does not significantly exacerbate...

TransCanada Acknowledges Tar Sands Oil Could Sink If Spilled
2013-08-16 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: In comments released yesterday by the State Department, TransCanada Corp. acknowledged a possibility that opponents of Keystone XL have long used against the project: The heavy oil sands crude that would run through the controversial pipeline, if spilled in water, could sink below the surface. The TransCanada acknowledgment, tucked inside a 51-page list of proposed changes to State's March draft environmental review of KXL, came with caveats amid a suggestion that the government alter its reference...
Keystone Would Not Impact Tar Sands Production, Emissions
2013-08-09 07:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Fuel Fix: Keystone XL would not add to greenhouse gas emissions, according to a study published Thursday by an independent research group that echoed the findings of government-backed reports. The study found that the addition of the new pipeline connecting Canadian oil sands fields with the U.S. Gulf Coast wouldnt make a substantial difference in emissions because U.S. refineries would get similar crude from Venezuela or elsewhere. Production, processing and transportation of Venezuelan heavy crude results...
