Why We're Protesting: Tar Sands Pipeline Opponents In Their Own Words

[Rickey85]

Fuck Obama Bin Laden

[SirJohnA]

Why is it that environmentalists have to look like hippies or mentally deranged?

[bigfarmer23]

This guy is clearly deranged and knows nothing about the big picture. Just looking for 15 minutes of fame without knowing why.

The batteries will hold 80% charge up to 10 years. If you have a problem with Lion batteries you need to explain to me how foreign oil is better than American electric.

[ttube438]

EVER electric vehicle extended range. These cars will in the coming years be affordable, high quality, American made vehicles. Every model from 2 door sport to large SUV will be powered by lithium ion batteries. Think of a world where we import zero oil from the middle east and every car gets over 100mpg. These cars are in the works. What we must not do is destroy our economy with shortsighted environmental policies. We must continue using natural fuels until these next gen EVERs arrive.

[ttube438]

I believe the enviromentals can take credit for one thing. Their policies being adopted by liberal politicians and legitimized by radicals on the Supreme Court have outlawed almost all domestic oil production. This policy forces our continued presence in the middle east and is a major contributing factor in the radicalization of the native populace. Thankfully technological advancements will provide alternatives to fossil fuel. There are American car companies producing next generation EVERs

[ttube438]

I got news for you. obama must approve the pipeline or he will guarantee his lose in the general election. obama literally can't buy a job and this pipeline alone is estimated to bring as many as 100,000 high paying jobs and then as many as 10,000 jobs in the refining of the oil. The global warming argument is getting old and these left wing enviromentals have really damaged the US. We must balance the impact on jobs vs. the so called environmental impact and side with jobs.

[DarthSchwartz]

bet these idiots drove their cars to this little event.

[Philippians4vs13]

The Keystone XL Pipeline will be a good thing for America!

[tedmagnusson]

There are many reasons other than 'global warming' to reduce the use of oil as a source of energy.

1) It is dirty,

2) It is getting increasingly expensive

3) It is getting more and more difficult to locate sources of oil.

I salute these protestors for standing up, letting our President know that intelligence can trump addiction.

[ebierke]

These speakers all make me sick. I've got better things to do on a beautiful three day weekend Sunday morning - like CHANGE MY OIL!

[ebierke]

Hey Rick, "our own scientists" have told us that global warming has been a hoax from day one. Look who's made zillions of dollars off that ruse, your hero, Al Gore.

[ebierke]

To late, Obama approved the pipeline! Maybe he does have a brain after all.

[RobertGuido]

Hey I come from the land of auto's and eletricity!

[kroovyandcal]

Climate change is not due to oil or the use of oil.

[westy61]

@kroovyandcal If you really think thats the case, its amazing that you're intelligent enough to type full sentences.

[kroovyandcal]

@westy61 I do think that that is the case. You might want to look into other scientific evidence, parrot. Parrots often feel themselves to be intelligent

[jamesbondaygee]

I'm Canadian and I absolutely do not want the Tar Sands to be used in any way. It's Stephen Harper and his Conservatives that are responsible!! So I'm completely behind you folks!

[curtmorrison]

Great video. Mike Tidwell rocks.

[MANDITO320]

Poor Greenies, profits always win. therefore this pipeline will be built.

[empemitheos]

this is total bull, oil sands are pretty much our only hope to eliminate our need for foreign oil and get back on track for the next 50-100 years that we have to develop better alternatives

not using this resource that's just sitting there is lunacy

[jamesbondaygee]

@empemitheos They can already make Electric Cars that would make gasoline cars obsolete. It's just the politicians and the Corporations that won't let it happen. Even in Canada they blocked the sell of a home-made electric car from Zenn Motors for no reason whatsoever! It's just pure corruption!

[ttube438]

@jamesbondaygee Wrong - electric cars are being produced slowly but surely. It takes years to bring a successful technology to market. Look up EVER - Electric vehicle extended range. Several American car companies are pioneering the technology which is due to hit the market this year. I'm not talking little boxes like we have in the market now, but family sized cars that get over 100mpg. When these cars become available everyone will want one.

[AlexanderMazarakis]

@ttube438 Too bad the batteries lose over 50 percent of their capacity after less then 5 years and procuring materials for the batteries causes more environmental damage then a pipeline.

[kroovyandcal]

@empemitheos America has shit-loads of oil that it is not using. There's no need for us to have to rely on foreign oil including the tar sands in Canada (which is not very efficient and requires a lot of energy in and water in)

[2013skywalker]

FIRST off ALL , which SCIENTIST, the ONES that work for ALL GORE, this ACTIVIST also GORE supporters , the WHOLE thing is a SCAM to rise the price of OIL

[megamogx]

Obama does not care about green people....

[AmishRakeFight85]

These people are heroes. I wish I could be there with them.

[keithypops]

Yeah good luck with getting obama to keep a promise.
