EcoWatch: As tar sands extraction continues and proposals for expanded pipelines from Canada into the U.S. form a backdrop, the Great Lakes themselves could become the next frontier for moving crude oil to a vast Midwest refinery network. The region faces a critical choice about whether the Great Lakes should become a thoroughfare for tar sands crude shipping, a new report from Alliance for the Great Lakes warns. The report, Oil and Water: Tar Sands Crude Shipping Meets Great Lakes?, finds that neither...

Joe Oliver also said a new study ranking Canada last among industrialised countries for climate change action was "name calling" and that the country had an environmental record it was "proud of". Oliver spoke at a Canada-Europe energy summit in London, UK, which aimed to promote the "significant commercial opportunities presented by Canada's...

InsideClimate: Growth in the Canadian oil sands industry will depend on the construction of major new pipelines, including the disputed Keystone XL across the United States, according to a report by a prominent energy institute. The faster new pipelines are approved, the more rapid the increase in tar sands production over the next two decades, the International Energy Agency said in its annual World Energy Outlook [3], released on Nov. 12.

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. Two such pipelines Enbridge Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan Transmountain would cross through British Columbia and have ignited such fierce opposition that they have little prospect...
