Just what we don't need. A rail car derailment in the Tejon Pass with a shipment of tar sands oil. SCAQMD needs to allow public comment on this and come to the conclusion that this is just another attempt by Canadians (and Valero) to cash in on the export of tar sands oil. While it is unlikely that exploitation of the tar sands can be stopped, it hasn't been easy for Canadian oil exploiters to ship this over the Western Canadian Rockies (First Tribe nations oppose the construction of a pipeline). Still, it already is being shipped by rail. I believe by now there have been at least 3 major spillages. Who needs more? And, who needs them in SoCal.
