Fortunately, the Canadian gov't is moving quickly to re-approve the Kearl project

The impact has already been material: Imperial Oil Ltd. is facing a major delay in its $8-billion Kearl oilsands project after losing the latest round of a legal battle this week with a coalition of green groups.

CALGARY, OTTAWA — — Work on an $8-billion oil sands mine that was delayed by the loss of a key federal water permit is now likely to get under way within weeks because Ottawa sees the file as "important" and is putting it on a fast track.

Any source of energy is to be stopped. These Greens really do want to shut down civilization.

When enough lights go out and houses grow cold and hunger becomes endemic, people will finally realize the full extent of what the greenies have wrought and the backlash won't be pretty, IMO..

GOOD, the oil sands projects are abominations against a beautiful and pristine area of Alberta...many times worse than the most devastating strip mines of the coal era
