LONDON, UK - Today a coalition of climate and social justice organizations and artists held a silent presence and unveiled a large landscape which depicts the devastation caused by Canadian tar sands outside the Canada Europe Energy Roundtable. Repeatedly the Canadian government has aggressively promoted tar sands oil in Europe, making false claims that the application of unproven technologies like carbon capture and storage can curb the emissions of carbon-intensive tar sands. Expensive techno-fixes like CCS simply prolong our addiction to oil and siphon resources away from the real solutions we need. The only way to solve this problem is to stop expanding the tar sands and start investing in clean energy solutions. no-tar-sands.org/2014/11/tar-sands-devastation-unveiled-outside-canada-europe-energy-roundtable/
