Shell halts Carmon Creek oil sands project
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/oct/28/shell-halts-carmon-creek-oil-sands-project-in-alberta-canada"Shell’s cancellation of the 80,000 barrel per day Carmon Creek project comes after the Anglo-Dutch oil company halted its search for oil off the Alaskan coast in September at a cost of several billion dollars.
The decision also comes as Washington wrangles with whether to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline to transport crude from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico. The project has been delayed over environmental concerns."
Great news!
