Grist: Rocker Neil Young wanted to see for himself the damage from ExxonMobil`s ruptured Pegasus oil pipeline, which recently spewed reeking, black goo into small-town Mayflower, Ark. So Young, a stalwart environmentalist, drove his revamped, super fuel-efficient hybrid 1959 Lincoln Continental into Mayflower on Monday, unannounced. A few people snapped pictures with Young (local blogger Shelli Russell bumped into a telephone pole while chasing him down). But regardless of how cool his car is, its unlikely...
Canada: Dont fret for the oil sands. We can afford new rules

Globe and Mail: Thursday's report that the Alberta government will ramp up the stringency of its provincial climate change policy was almost certainly motivated at least in part by concerns over pipeline approval. If so, it wouldn't be the first time that outside events have led Alberta to enact new environmental regulations. The province's current flagship greenhouse gas policy, the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, was born in 2007 out of a desire to supersede federal regulations that were expected at the time....

United Press International: The intensity of carbon dioxide emissions tied to oil sands production in Canada declined more than 20 percent, Norwegian energy company Statoil said.

"We are proud of the results we have achieved and are encouraged to continue our efforts to reach our ambitious targets," regional Vice President for Statoil Stale Tungesvik...
Scientist Links Oil Sands to Fish Deformities, Asks Canada to Investigate

Canadian Press: A renowned Canadian scientist says there appear to be similarities between fish deformities found downstream from Alberta's oilsands and those observed after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska and Florida's Deepwater Horizon disaster. David Schindler of the University of Alberta has written two federal cabinet ministers pointing out the research similarities. He's proposing that some chemical or suite of chemicals found in crude oil may be causing the malformations, and he'd like to see Canada...
Tar sands oil spill? Or just 'heavy' oil spill? Exxon loves having it both ways
2013-04-04 04:43:44| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
As everybody knows by now, Exxon Mobil's 848-mile-long Pegasus pipeline spilled more than half-a-million gallons of ... uh ... er... gooey black stuff in the little community of Mayflower, Arkansas, just in time to make Easter really smelly and messy for residents of one development.
