As Inside Climate News reported earlier this summer, Enbridge is building a 5,000-mile network of pipelines that would far overshadow the potential impact of the Keystone line. And TransCanada has new plans in the works in case President Obama blocks the Keystone project. Earlier this month, the company announced its plan for a new venture that would link eastern and western Canada, providing an outlet for Alberta's booming oil sands producers. And the Canadian ambassador to the United States has vowed to ship crude to US refineries on trains if the pipelines aren't approved.
I come from a generation of kids raised on regular doses of cod liver oil, which may have disfigured my taste buds forever. Apparently this oil from tar sands and shale is even worse. But never mind. Open wide.
