Right now, while many Americans are working together to build a clean energy economy, the most destructive oil project on Earth is sneaking across our border. This project, the Canadian tar sands -- a massive plan executed by Big Oil and their allies in Canada's government -- is coming into the United States pipeline by pipeline, refinery by refinery, permit by permit. This project is so huge that it will undermine our climate leadership, perpetuate our addiction to oil, pollute our air and water, violate Indigenous land rights in both Canada and the U.S., and lock us in to a dirty energy infrastructure for decades just when we are finally trying to move to a new clean energy economy. In the words of President Obama: I believe in the new clean energy economy. I believe in green jobs, energy independence and tackling our climate, energy and economic challenges all at once. Tar sands do not fit into our new clean energy economy. Secretary Clinton, I urge you not to grant any State Department permits for the Alberta Clipper pipeline, or any other dirty tar sands pipelines.
