Don’t rubber stamp the tar sands

National Energy Board Chair Peter Watson:

The Energy East pipeline could move over 1 million barrels of tar sands from Alberta to the Atlantic Ocean each day - exporting bitumen and dangerous carbon emissions to the world.

Without considering climate change and listening to people’s voices, any review of Energy East will be incomplete and illegitimate.

Don’t rubber stamp the tar sands
Right now a group of energy sector insiders are deciding on the future of a massive oil pipeline that will cross rivers and cut through communities from Alberta to the East Coast. And it seems ludicrous, but the panel isn’t even looking at its impact on climate -- let’s make them!

We’re all affected by climate change, from vulnerable coastal communities to those suffering through drought or food shortages, but TransCanada’s proposed pipeline will unleash even more carbon-intensive tar oil on the planet, and the review panel doesn’t even want to talk about the problem.

Now citizens groups are coming together to make the biggest combined push yet for fair and inclusive hearings that will look at all the issues, and we could take a major stride towards a victory if we all pile on. Click now and tell these decision makers to put their rubber stamp back in their pockets. When 100,000 sign on we’ll bring our voices right to their door steps!
