Who Owns the Tar Sands?

I wondered why the Republicans have been so adamant in their support of the Keystone pipeline. Yes, they have an ideological commitment to ignore climate change in search of profits, but that's vague. It's not a gigantic motive.  What is a motivator is the fact that the biggest leaseholders of Canadian tar sands are the Koch brothers. They fund the campaigns of  Republican incumbents. We have to build that pipeline, folks.
