Globe and Mail: Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she's open to tougher environmental regulations, but only if current policies fall short of her goals, and not as a trade-off to win U.S. approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. "Our regulations are pretty tough," Ms. Redford said Saturday in an interview, responding to a question about whether she would tighten scrutiny of the oil sands to appease skeptics in President Barack Obama's administration. "I'm not going to start down that path. Part of the quid...

Canada: With Keystone in crisis, Ms. Redford goes to Washington

Edmonton Journal: When Premier Alison Redford unpacks her bags in Washington, D.C., this morning, lets hope she remembered to bring along a ladder, pitons and maybe a good strong rope. Shes in for one heck of an uphill climb. Redford arrives in Washington to lobby for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline just days after 30,000 people gathered on Capitol Hill to protest against the project to ship Albertas bitumen to the U.S. Gulf Coast. More troubling for her lobbying effort, perhaps, was a declaration by...

CNN: As Washington grapples with how to reduce the nation's deficit, Republicans are again pointing to the Keystone XL pipeline as a project that would boost the economy and ultimately make dents in paying off the federal debt. Republican Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota called on President Obama to approve the full transnational pipeline that would bring oil from Canada's tar sands down to the Gulf of Mexico.

Canada: With Keystone In Limbo, Alberta Launches Carbon Contest
2013-02-22 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The Canadian province of Alberta is home to the country's booming oil and gas industry, and is a key power base for Canada's Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. The rapid development of unconventional oil and gas resources, also known as "oil sands,' in Alberta has turned that province into an engine of economic growth in Canada, and has led to controversy in the U.S. Domestically, Alberta is perhaps best known as the origin of the controversial Keystone-XL Pipeline, which would transport...
