Oil Refining Barge on the Columbia Heading to Tar Sands

An Oregon-based trucking company has begun hauling oil refining equipment through Idaho and onto Barges on the Columbia River.  The equipment is headed to Tar Sands in Northern Alberta.  Environmental activists areopposing the project on several levels.

KBOO's Crystal Leighty spoke with Zack Porter, of the group "All Against the Haul", about his group's opposition to the project.

She first asked him for a bit of background on the situation.
