Protesters in Oregon Delay Departure of Tar Sands "Megaload" 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Oregon, a so-called megaload of oil equipment departed for the tar
sands of Alberta, Canada, Monday night, a day after protesters
successfully blocked it from leaving. 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.
