Wanted to drop a quick note on the latest from the unstoppable tar sands oil spill. that continues to leak uncontrollably in Cold Lake, Alberta. Today, government officials clarified that the spill continues and there is "no control of this incident."

 

The story now getting international headlines (here's a story that ran today in the International Business Tribune: Canadian Natural Resource (CNQ) Cannot Stop Oil Well Leaks Causing Environmental Damage: Alberta Energy Regulator).

 

This international attention is growing and with decisions in the EU on tar sands and their Fuel Quality Directive, and, of course, in the US a pending decision expected this fall on the Keystone XL pipeline -- this is a highly newsworthy story that I think you're readers will be interested in.

 

Anyways, I just wanted to make sure you saw all this, as it is a very big story with so many consequences unfolding smack-dab in the dog days of summer. 

 

If you're interested I can likely set up an interview with people very close to the story, as well as experts on the policy implications of this spill.

 

If you do write something, please pass on the link as I will promote it out on social media networks and email lists. 

 

Regards,
