This article is from The Province. Excerpt:
Environmental activists are telling Americans that the Alberta oilsands are an environmental disaster that is poisoning U.S refineries. "The environmental costs of tar-sand development are staggering," says a report released yesterday by the Environmental Integrity Project, a Washington-based group, in the latest salvo in a pitched public-relations battle over the oilsands. The report, Tar Sands: Feeding U.S. Refinery Expansions with Dirty Fuel, warned that much of the oil being processed in the United States would soon get dirtier since most refineries were being expanded to handle oil from Western Canada.
