Bloomberg: The debate over the Keystone XL pipeline has gotten pretty heated and Kinder Baumgardner has an idea to cool the emotions: a really long bike path. The creative director for the SWA Group, an Houston-based architectural firm that designed Google Inc.s corporate campus, says building the lane along Keystones path through the countrys mid-section could turn what is now a source of rancor into a tourist attraction. The firm sent a letter Oct. 17 pitching the plan to the State Department and...

Greenwire: President Obama's political friends yesterday left him very little room to maneuver on the politically controversial Keystone XL pipeline, taking turns panning the project at a Center for American Progress event attended by some of the most influential Democrats in Washington, D.C. Former Vice President Al Gore issued the bluntest indictment of the project, comparing American's "addiction" to fossil fuels to a heroin addict's need for a fix. "You know, junkies find veins in their toes when...

Guardian: The exploitation of the tar sands in Alberta, Canada - which may contain more oil than the entire world has consumed to date has attracted considerable controversy lately. Massive expansion of tar sands operations are planned, but this cannot happen if many new pipelines out of landlocked Alberta are not built.

2013-10-25 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A few times each month since August 2012, a helicopter or small plane has flown over sections of a 485-mile-long strip of land connecting Cushing, Okla., with Nederland, Tex., about 90 miles east of Houston. The pilots are usually accompanied by a photographer snapping pictures of construction work: dump trucks and backhoes mostly, and pieces of pipe lying along a trench. The idea is to track the progress of the southern leg of TransCanadas (TRP) Keystone XL pipeline, dubbed the Keystone Gulf Coast....
