TAJVIDI, TRNN PRODUCER: The largest industrial project in the world,
the Canadian tar sands, looks as though it is about to get bigger.
Alberta's energy regulator has recently given the green light to the
expansion of Shell's Jackpine Mine five and a half years after the
company first proposed the project. The mine is just one of ten new tar
sands projects awaiting approval, though concerned indigenous
communities and environmentalists argue that further development will
exacerbate the already dire conditions of people and ecosystems in the
region and beyond.
