There has been recent media buzz surrounding the oil sands in northern Alberta, with different groups offering opinions.
On Wednesday, the New York Times published a story exposing the realities of America’s largest source of imported oil.
According to Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington. “ It would be strongly resisted in the United States to exempt the tar sands from any climate agreement.”
But oil sands firms aren’t worried about increased regulation, according to Reuters UK.
Whether regulation is on the horizon or not, industry leaders are beginning to realize that they’ve dropped the ball with engaging the public about this mammoth project.
