So a lot of good all the anti-oil sands and pipeline "protests" are doing. The greenies need to understand one thing - if the economics are there for oilsands projects (meaning the companies can make money), the projects will continue and the oil will get transported (one way or another). 

Of course, the greenies are usually ignorant of economics, or they just don't have any good plan other than hyperbolic arguments and trying to block things. If they want to do something, work on demand and come up with cheaper alternatives (and yes, invest in it) - but I guess this is too hard. They like the useless carbon taxes and cap and trade, which will do nothing, except cost us more.
