44 SENATORS BEHIND KEYSTONE BILL TOOK $22.3 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CASH FROM BIG OIL | Public Campaign Action Fund

The struggle to transport the harvest of Alberta’s vast oil sands enters a new arena this week – a village on the rugged British Columbia coast where the hopes of Canada’s biggest pipeline operator will meet a business-savvy first nation with little appetite for black gold. Public vetting of Enbridge’s ( ENB-T 39.18 -0.41 -1.04% ) proposed $6.6-billion Northern Gateway oil-sands pipeline begins Tuesday. The arguments concerning aboriginal land rights and environmental impact promise a regulatory fight that could travel all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

A HEAVY equipment operator has unearthed what appears to be a nearly complete plesiosaur fossil while digging in Canada's oil sands. The fossil dinosaur was discovered on November 14 and is now being examined by scientists at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, who aim to have it removed from the site by the end of the week, the Syncrude oil company said in a statement. When operator Maggy Horvath discovered the bones, she immediately stopped digging and told a geologist who works with the Royal Tyrrell on fossil discoveries.

Emma Pullman | Oil Industry Co-Opts Occupy Movement to Sell the Keystone XL Pipeline

The AFL - CIO 's America's Building Trades Unions and Oil and Natural Gas Industry Labor-Management Committee are attempting to co-opt the Occupy movement with a new initiative to try to get the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline approved. Jobs for the 99% likens the growing celebrity support against the Keystone XL pipeline to an occupation of sorts. "Celebrities are taking over DC " the website says, and "Hollywood’s elite 1% should stop flying to DC and speaking out against jobs that help the other 99% of America!"
