EcoWatch: In the Presidents recent speech on climate change, he said our national interest will be served only if [Keystone XL] does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. There are many reasons that the Keystone XL pipeline will clearly exacerbate the problem of climate pollution but one that is often overlooked (at our peril) is the problem of petroleum coke a.k.a. petcoke.

Key to Keystone XL Pipeline May Be Canada

Fuel Fix: The final verdict on the Keystone XL pipeline rests with Obama administration officials in Washington, but the projects fate may hinge on decisions made in Canada. Analysts say that the administration is telegraphing willingness to approve the project, which would transport diluted bitumen from Albertas oil sands, as long as stakeholders north of the border do more to shrink their carbon footprint. In a June 25 speech, President Barack Obama vowed that his administration will approve the...
