No wonder the deniers are so angry.

We've already been over this alarmist report from the Briddish 'researchers'
Must be a slow news day for ya I guess

Obama had already indicated that he would veto KXL long before the from in price, but it doesn't really matter anymore as Canada has 3 pipelines in the works already
The sooner the better, that means we can find a use for it in it's natural form. Too bad it doesn't sink in water as it is probably something like a water-proof pond liner once it is laid out on the bottom at a constant 1m depth. Patchin would also be as easy as finding the leak and then propping some new material there in the winter and let it sink by braking the ice, naturally or by force.
Sand is a natural filter so it could be overlaid in the shallows so cat-tails can grow and in the winter they could be harvested for whatever, the intent is to keep the birds off the water and that is why the moss is put on the deeper spots and renewed every winter, for the birds and as it dies and sinks it should trap the heavy metals in a layer that is mud and it stays as mud forever.
The Prairies have how many miles of gravel roads that get renewed how many times a year. Raw tar sands can be put on once and it is there for many seasons and reshaping takes a heavy machine. Driveways in the country same thing when concrete or asphalt is the only choice today. All the sand/salt dumped out could be tar-sand that is new sand and cleaned sand at a ratio that it doesn't bind to itself. As it wars up the tar sticks to the cars that drive over it and the sand remains on the ground as a traction device. Tar sand is also fracture sand so it sticks to each other unlike beach sand which is like a marble.

XL isn't big enough anymore. While delaying XL, fracked Bakken kerogen hit 1,000,000bbl a day and it's all being moved by truck and rail as a means to create jobs that create high spill risks.
All that kerogen was to go to Cushing and Houston through XL now it's going through your backyard to Irving.
Was your cheering worth it going through you backyard crossing your rivers and streams?
It doesn't count unless there is a 'study' that says as much... Just like the highly polluting oil industry in California isn't really a contributor to AGW because there isn't a 'study' that says as much
Study this !
Kerogen that didn't go by XL like it was supposed to.
What more studying is needed?

I don't think "Take the pipeline up the ar$e or we'll blow up your comunities with oil-loaded trains" is really goping to work, myself. I foresee some PR difficulties wiht that approach.
Yes oil is going to continue to drop the economy is going to suffer and the
myth that Harper saved us from something is going to be revealed. If the
economy is struggling and oil savages the treasury it is the responsibility
of government to raise business taxes to make up the difference average
Canadians are paying enough.

It's better by train. 3,000,000bbls per day of fracked kerogen just in time for the next US election.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. Only don't expect to see them as they lead from the rear.
You do know where business gets the money to pay their "fair share" don't you?
