Finally, those decisions have already happened, but here’s an upcoming case that could go either way, and you can take action to influence that decision (on-coming #3) right now. We’re at a critical juncture in the fight against one of the dirtiest fuels on Earth: tar sands from Alberta, Canada. Big Oil and its allies in Canada’s government have proposed a massive project, and one piece of it ——the Alberta Clipper pipeline —is up for approval by the U.S. State Department in just two weeks. One person has the power to stop the dirtiest oil project on earth: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
We want to make sure Secretary Clinton knows about this pipeline, part of a plan that includes dozens of oil refineries and pipelines that are crossing the border and being retooled to make U.S, over-dependent on this dirty, dangerous oil. If this gets approved, it’s a slippery, tarred slope to a dirty-fuels future.
Tell Secretary Clinton: Say no to tar sands.
Need more convincing? Watch Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope talk about the problems with tar sands during his debate last week with Chevron CEO Dave O’Reilly.
