Clinton to Decide on Pipeline for Canadian Oil Sands Crude. By Sheila McNulty, FT, August 10, 2009. "Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, is expected to decide as early as this month whether to approve the Alberta Clipper, a 1,000-mile pipeline designed to carry up to 800,000 barrels a day of fuel from Canada's vast oil sands.Environmentalists say doing so would be at odds with the green economy pledged by the administration... It is hard for the US to resist the 175 billion barrels of oil sand reserves, given rising concerns over energy security. But the extraction of a barrel of crude from oil sands is estimated to generate as much five times more greenhouse gas emissions as from a barrel of conventional crude."
