Stymied in the Lower 48, Alberta floats idea of moving tar-sands oil through Alaska

Officials in the Canadian province of Alberta say they hope to talk to Alaska leaders about shipping tar-sands crude oil through the state as the Keystone XL pipeline route through the Lower 48 remains bogged down in politics.

Canadian oil moving through Alaska could provide additional revenue opportunities for state and local governments, through property taxes on facilities, for example.

Prentice said getting oil to Alaska in a pipeline is “technically feasible,” with a route following the Mackenzie River valley in northern Canada and crossing through the Northwest Territories and Yukon before heading into Alaska so the oil can eventually reach a port.
