 Data driven reality check points to end of growth in the tar sands. 
A new briefing released today points to a dramatic drop-off in investment in growth in the tar sands sector. After already under-construction projects – sanctioned before the oil price drop – are completed, no significant new production growth is planned.

This is a starkly different state of affairs for a sector that just a few years ago expected inevitable and rapid growth through the coming decades. It also contradicts

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today released its Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Mountain Valley Pipeline. As has been the pattern at FERC, the review fails to adequately assess whether the pipeline is needed in the first place, while sweeping aside the project’s serious threats to water resources, the safety of communities, and the climate.

CAPP’s report is a work of fiction: Its numbers are demonstrably wrong, and have apparently been made up to prop-up a struggling political argument for more pipelines.

As controversy swirls around a string of spills and air and water violations caused by Energy Transfer Partners’ construction of the Rover gas pipeline, a study released today underlines another reason federal regulators should halt the project: It will fuel a massive increase in climate pollution.
