South Portland Tells Off Big Oil Over Tar Sands

from the Green Miles

An American Petroleum Institute letter tells South Portland, Maine not to ban tar sands as part of an effort to keep Exxon Mobil and Enbridge from reversing the Portland-Montreal pipeline.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Exxon/Enbridge tar sands pipeline project seeks to reverse the flow of two existing pipelines in order to ship crude oil from Alberta's tar sands region to the Maine coast.
Read more about this at The National Wildlife Foundation page.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
South Portland responds by marking up the letter, telling Big Oil to fuck off.
Editor's note: the annotated letter is MAGNIFICENT! Go to the link. Seriously—go, go GO. It's brill!
