No, thinking the tar sands will shut down because we can't ship it to the U.S. is naive. The tar sands are operating without the Keystone XL at the moment, why would they stop? Plus, like Harper said, there are many other countries willing to accept tar sands oil, like China, and we definitely won't stop production because some people in the U.S. want the tar sands to disappear. Plus, many people don't seem to realize the tar sands are jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, who also need to eat. Clean energy will have its day, it's coming fast, but the fact is clean energy is just not feasible due to economical and technological reasons yet.
