Tar Sands Mining Hits the U.S. 
Bad news for clean energy lovers -- tar sands mining is now in the United
States <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=EZeCYrNw6tkNK1p036tQsQ..> :
"Alberta-based Earth Energy Resources has won all necessary permits to
excavate tar sands oil from a 62-acre site in Uintah County, Utah. And
that's just  the start. Earth Energy has 7,800 acres of Utah state land
under lease and plans to acquire more."

If you'll remember, the mining of oil from tar sands creates three times the
carbon emissions
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=Hz9K8a184OqTY6iCb976LQ..>  as that of
conventional oil.
