We have been clear cutting trees in British Columbia for 50 years now. We replant and guess what…….the trees grow back. Consider this….we cut all the trees down for 50 square miles. Remove the top 20 meters…..dig out the Gold/oil/iron ore/etc and fill in the hole and put the 20 meters back. Plant trees and guess what…trees grow back….Birds move back…wild animals come in. Take a look at Northern Canada from BC to Newfoundland….all the open pit mines……This article ia about oil…. not the enviornment. Sorry…just sayin.

]]> Comment on MDT to Issue Permits for 300 Tar Sands Megaloads by SeenClearly http://northernrockiesrisingtide.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/mdt-to-issue-permits-for-300-tar-sands-megaloads/#comment-318 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 07:46:49 +0000 http://northernrockiesrisingtide.wordpress.com/?p=1182#comment-318 Be sure and note in the subject line that your comments are for “Mammoet Interstate Transportation Permits”.
** Here are some important points to include in your comments:
– MDT should NOT issue any permits to Imperial BEFORE the project has gone through the Montana Environmental Policy Act process.
– Montana public participation laws require sufficient time for the public to comment on any agency decision. Imperial’s proposed new route is no exception. Approving permits before or during the public comment period is unacceptable.
– MDT needs to thoroughly evaluate direct environmental and economic impacts associated with the new transportation route The only purpose of the transportation project is to facilitate movement of tar sands mining equipment. MDT needs to evaluate the impacts of tar sands mining on climate change in their environmental analysis.

It’s too easy to wring our hands and complain as we allow ourselves to be run over by corporate power – again and again. More power to you.
