Tar Sands Action at Fort Saskatchewan

On October 3, 2009, Greenpeace activists occupy a smoke stack at the Shell Scotford upgrader expansion site near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. Activists from Canada, France, Brazil and Australia scaled the under-construction upgrader to lock down to the structures. Upgraders are part of the energy-intensive process used to produce dirty oil from tar-like bitumen.
