WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An environmental group on Wednesday asked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to deny permits for pipelines that would bring oil from Canada's tar sands to the United States.
ForestEthics said production from Canadian tar sands generates up to fives times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional oil, which it said conflicts with the Obama administration's pledge to tackle global warming.
