| RussiaToday | 20 December 2010 | A massive oil pipeline explosion destroyed parts of a central Mexican city on Sunday, incinerating people, cars, houses and trees as gushing crude oil turned streets into flaming rivers. At least 28 people were killed, 13 of them children, in a disaster authorities blamed on oil thieves. The blast in San Martin Texmelucan, initially estimated to have affected 5-thousand residents in a three-mile (five-kilometre) radius, scorched homes and cars and left metal and pavement twisted and in some cases burned to ash in the intense heat. At least 52 people were hurt and 84 remained in a shelter late on Sunday after fleeing San Martin,about 55 miles (90 kilometres) east of Mexico City. More than 115 homes were scorched, 32 of them destroyed. Video courtesy: Youtube user MikeCrosser, Edmundo Flores Garcia | |

| Oil in Eden: The Battle to Protect One of the Last Great Wild Places on the Planet -Canada's Pacific Coast | |
| PacificWildLive | 09 December 2010 | It's one of the last bastions of Canadian wilderness: the Great Bear Rainforest, on BC's north and central Pacific coast. Home to humpback whales, wild salmon, wolves, grizzlies, and the legendary spirit bear - this spectacular place is now threatened by a proposal from Enbridge to bring an oil pipeline and supertankers to this fragile and rugged coast. The plan is to pump over half a million barrels a day of unrefined bitumen from the Alberta Tar Sands over the Rockies, through the heartland of BC - crossing a thousand rivers and streams in the process - to the Port of Kitimat, in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest. From there, supertankers would ply the rough and dangerous waters of the BC coast en route to Asia and the United States. Dubbed the Northern Gateway Pipeline, the project is of concern for three main reasons: 1. It would facilitate the expansion of the Tar Sands, hooking emerging Asian economies on the world's dirtiest oil; 2. the risks from the pipeline itself; 3. the danger of introducing oil supertankers for the first time to this part of the BC coast.
