200+ birds dead after toxic landing:Syncrude
By Dean Bennett, The Canadian Press
EDMONTON – More than 200 birds died after they landed on gooey, toxic oilsands tailings ponds in northern Alberta, just days after oil giant Syncrude agreed to pay more than $3 million in a similar case where 1,600 ducks died.

Oilsands expansion ‘fool’s gold,’ scientist warns
By Sheila Pratt
The UN is a moral cesspool that needs to be disbanded. The latest example of its corruption is the support from the UN’s Development Program (UNDP) for open blackmail by Ecuador. Of course this blackmail is on behalf of today’s most popular satanic god, Gaia, so many people think it’s acceptable. Christian morality – the ethical system that condemns blackmail – isn’t necessarily valid for other worldviews, especially evil cults and ideologies.

Greenpeace not slick: Oilsands bashing ignores problems of other options for oil
By Ezra Levant
My new book, Ethical Oil, went on sale last Tuesday, and within three days no fewer than five different corporate lobbyists debated me on TV and radio. They told me I’m being too judgmental of oil companies, and that my attempts to measure the ethics of oil were a distraction from more important issues. And they ignored me when I asked them about their carbon footprint – jet-setting around the world.

Turning the tables: Chevron won’t kowtow to environmental activists’ tactics and gives them a taste of their own medicine
By Silvia Santacruz
Global companies rarely fight back when environmentalists accuse them of polluting in developing countries. They often prefer to fund such NGOs in the belief they are buying peace, or to accept a market cap beating.
Strident earth worshiper – and very appropriately names – Micheal Moore, I mean Karl Marx, I mean Michael Marx – has declared war on Alberta’s oil sands. Peter Foster exposes his fundamentalist, anti-scientific agenda in Thursday’s Financial Post. Unfortunately, Mr. Marx’s campaign may be taking place at just the right time for success considering the bias for earth worship, heavy-handed socialism and ideological extremism by U.S. President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress.

Mighty oil-eating microbes help clean up the Gulf
By John Carey
… Perhaps the most important cause of the oil’s disappearance, some researchers suspect, is that the oil has been devoured by microbes. The lesson from past spills is that the lion’s share of the cleanup work is done by nature in the form of oil-eating bacteria and fungi. The microbes break down the hydrocarbons in oil to use as fuel to grow and reproduce. A bit of oil in the water is like a feeding frenzy, causing microbial populations to grow exponentially.
Environmentalism is a sub-adolescent ideology at war with science. It is also a gross expression of idolatry.
But God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, is not mocked, and He has made a fool of extremists who have been in a panic over the recent Gulf oil spill. How so? The story is below… By focusing people’s attention on how the world He created works, and how the nature of the creation, buttressed by technology developed by innovative men created in the image of God, is resolving the oil spill much more quickly than many people expected.

A Free Market Energy Vision
By Robert Bradley Jr.
Energy is the master resource. Without it, other resources could neither be produced nor consumed. Even energy requires energy: There would not be usable oil, gas, or coal without the energy to manufacture and power the requisite tools and machinery. Nor would there be wind turbines or solar panels, which are monuments to embedded fossil-fuel energy.
