Having seen the huge clusterfuck that is the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta, the magic underpants-wearing wingnuts of Utah have become inspired.

Me too! they say.

There is a hearing tomorrow in Salt Lake City to discuss what would be the 1st proposed tar sands project ever in United States. Sure, Utah had a major oil spill not 2 months ago. But that was then, this is now.

This time the moose will pull a rabbit out of the hat, I'm just sure of it.

Or maybe not.

Even the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which is eying the "tar sands" of Utah for commercial development, acknowledges their development would "completely displace all other uses of the land."
