The issue must be explored by all responsible groups. however I have caught both Greenpeace the Sierra Club lying to the public over issues where they have dogmatic positions - ie. Nuclear Power.

Both groups are fully aware that the risk is miniscule to the point of nonexistant in Canada. They still speak of meltdowns and radioactive steam / rain knowing full well both are physically impossible with a Candu reactor.

How can we trust them over the Tar Sands?

The issue is not about meltdowns, but what to do with the tons of highly radioactive fuel left over from the process. I do not want nuclear power in Alberta until a viable solution for waste reclamation is in place. Burying it for future generations to worry about is not an option in my opinion.

This poll isn't realistic.  "Church leaders" doing anything vis-a-vis the Oil Sands other than looking at matters theological shouldn't occur - unless they're properly cross-trained (in this case, things like environmentalism and ethics).  But I couldn't respond "No" because the very narrow reason you stated wasn't valid.

Didn't Christ advocate not getting involved with worldly affairs?
