Last Friday, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Prime Minister Stephen Harper had written to U.S. President Barack Obama in late August, proposing “joint action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas sector” if that’s what it takes to win approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Earlier today, The Energy Collective carried this analysis, showing that there are only a few emission control options for Harper to put forward. And none of them advances Harper’s goal of winning U.S. approval for the pipeline.
