Oil Sands: Will the 'Greens' Cause Us to Miss Out?

Congress has already done this. In the 2007 energy bill as passed there is an item that forbids the military from buying fuel made from crude oil that has a CO2 life cycle footprint greater than that from the production of conventional crudes. Since many northern tier refineries use high-CO2-emission syncrude from Canada, this means the military is out their sources of jet fuel from those refineries. The military is fighting it although unfortunately they haven't used any of their heavy stuff on Congress. No nukes, power plants stopped, no Canadian oil sands - this Congressional leadership is the most pathetic I've ever seen. What will become of our country if we have to stop new energy production, except burning our own food, of course?
