This podcast introduces the US Tar Sands campaign network.
In the podcast, Michael discusses strategy and tactics with Kenny Bruno, who was the US campaign coordinator of the bi-national campaign with Canada.
“We aimed to stop the reckless and rapid expansion of the dirtiest project on earth, the tar sands industry in Alberta. One of the main strategies was to delay and prevent permitting of tar sands pipelines like Keystone XL, Northern Gateway, Energy East, Line 3 and Transmountain. We did stop Keystone XL, Northern Gateway and Energy East. Enbridge expansions of Alberta clipper and Line 3 were built. We impacted the tar sands industry in Canada, by constraining takeaway capacity and forcing policy change in Canada. The Keystone XL campaign also ignited a new fighting spirit in the US climate movement and a new focus on fossil fuel infrastructure.”
