Protesters in Oregon Delay Departure of Tar Sands “Megaload”

HeadlineDec 03, 2013

On Sunday, two people locked themselves to a truck at the Port of Umatilla, stalling departure of the massive equipment, which they say will travel through sensitive areas and then help fuel climate change in the oil fields.
