Exxon now acknowledges ruptured pipeline in Yellowstone River transports tar sands | The Washington Independent: "Though Exxon Mobil initially insisted that the pipeline that ruptured and spilled into Montana’s Yellowstone River this month carried only low sulfur crude from Wyoming, the company has now acknowledged that the pipeline is used to transport tar sands crude from Alberta."
