Keystone XL Battle Plan May Not Fit Enviros' Fight Against LNG Exports
2014-03-26 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Environmentalists using a Keystone XL template to battle natural gas export terminals can draw a powerful parallel between the infrastructure projects -- both would speed up the development of vast fossil fuel pools -- but face longer odds against a new, harder target in the shale industry. A KXL-inspired strategy against liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plans emerged last week in a letter to President Obama signed by 16 green groups and spearheaded by two of the oil sands crude pipeline's most...
Canada Softens Tone in Fevered Keystone XL Pipeline Debate

Rail or pipeline, it doesn't really matter, Ms. Raitt told a "conversation" hosted by the Canadian American Business Council, which promotes trade and business links between the two countries.

Battle Creek Enquirer: Secretary of State John Kerry needs to talk with U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. Better yet, he should come see the South Carolina coast firsthand. Last year, Jewell toured Bulls Island and witnessed how only a 1-foot rise in sea level over the last century has turned a vibrant hardwood island into a boneyard beach. The same disaster situation from even faster-rising seas is facing South Carolinas vibrant tourism economy, from Cherry Grove at the North to Beaufort in the South. Only it...

ThinkProgress: After countless marches, arrests, Congressional votes, and editorials, the five-and-a-half year battle over the controversial Keystone XL pipeline is nearing its end. If a recent ruling in Nebraska doesn`t delay the decision further, America could find out as soon as this spring whether or not the pipeline, which has become a focal point in America`s environmental movement, will be built.

Keystone XL and the energy rush that could change America forever
2014-03-16 13:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Meandering south from Cold Lake on small roads, I entered a new landscape. The boreal forest of northern Alberta gave way to rolling prairie, grain silos, and rural crossroads. The oil sands were now behind me - or rather, flowing beneath me. Every road had pipeline crossing signs or ditches for new lines alongside or piles of pipe sections waiting to be laid. All pipes led to the place I was headed: Hardisty, home to Canadas largest oil depot and the site where the Keystone XL was slated to begin....
