The first nations in Canada are resisting. They dont want their rivers to be endangered. I hope some white canadians have the guts to join them and not just babble about changing lightbulbs and building electric cars...

What I dont get about that pipeline - why dont they just build a refinery next to the mines - why do they have to carry the tar all the way across the US just to refine it there (and probably ship part of it back to Canada again). Its the economy probably - just cheaper to build a dangerous destructive pipeline than to move a refinery. But whatever the reason - this has to stop in any case anyways.

Gasoline here is predicted to be 2EU / liter this week (that is 10$/gallon). This is going to continue as the end of the oil age is approaching. Sad that this also allows such insane projects to become economical.
