A marine consultant involved in B.C. oil-spill issues for a quarter century says the risks of a tanker oil spill associated with Enbridge Northern Gateway are simply too great for the project to proceed.
Gerald Graham of Victoria-based Worldocean Consulting Ltd. said that calculations based on Enbridge’s own research show there is a 8.7-to-14.1-per-cent chance of at least one tanker spill greater than 31,500 barrels over a 50-year period, depending on whether the pipeline has a 525,000 or 850,000 barrel per day capacity.

Sign the petition to top the expansion of crude oil tanker traffic through B.C.'s coastal waters.
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 12:02AM The Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal would build two parallel pipelines from Alberta's tar sands to BC's north coast. If approved, the pipelines would traverse the salmon-bearing Upper Fraser and Skeena watersheds, and would bring 225 oils tankers a year to BC's northern coastal waters.

Think this project and pipeline is just a Canadian environmental disaster? Think again.
The Alberta tar sands project will also have a profound impact on the lower 48 states. Imperial Oil, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, has proposed building a high/wide corridor through some of the most pristine lands in Idaho and Montana to facilitate the shipment of equipment from Korea to be used in the tar sands project.
Imperial, which is 69.6 percent owned by ExxonMobil, has proposed to Montana that an initial round of 200 giant machines creep through the state almost daily and nightly for a year. Some of the machines weigh 334,000 pounds and measure 24 feet wide by 30 feet tall by 160 feet long.

Chinese, Korean, and other oil companies are on the verge of signing a deal that could make oil tankers on BC's coast a reality. The tankers would be picking up Alberta tar sands oil delivered via a proposed pipeline to a tanker port at Kitimat.
The Dogwood Initiative has put together a campaign to protest the tanker deal. LINK
What if this recent coastal B.C. accident were to happen to one of those super tankers?
