U.S. Groups Call Attention to Potential Harm From Enbridge's Alberta Clipper Pipeline

摘要

Environmental and Native American advocates want to draw more attention to harms caused if Enbridge Inc. succeeds in its plan to expand the Alberta Clipper pipeline, a project that would double the amount of Canadian tar sands oil the line could carry into the U.S. "We're coming to the Twin Cities to call on President Obama to keep dirty fossil fuels in the ground, starting with the tar sands, the most dirty form of oil," Mike Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said June 2 of a protest and rally scheduled for June 6 in Minneapolis. He and other advocates spoke on a conference call with reporters. The groups said the Obama administration must be more consistent in its policies to reduce carbon pollution.
