"The United States must help lead the world in combating global warming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It would be incomprehensible to give approval to a tar sands oil project when producing tar sands oil creates 82 percent more carbon emissions than conventional oil, and when it poses the risk of extremely damaging oil spills. I agree with NASA scientist James Hansen who has stated that fully exploiting the tar sands would mean ‘game over' for our efforts to reverse global warming." -Sen. Bernie Sanders
The US should not remove itself from ANY involvement in any Tar Sands oil projects. The future of our planet is more valuable than any profits that could be realized from any involvement.
