  • the 47 people who disliked this video, are jealous theyre not Nina Dobrev...

  • THANK YOU Ian Somerhalder.

    PLEASE put a link to the petition in your video description so people can find it. BTW, Most of us who fancy ourselves politically savvy know the GOP has an unholy union with BIG OIL - but in this particular case, GOP speaker John Boehner benefits monetarily (he has stock in company(ies) that profit from this deal)

  • Trying to stop a pipeline is like trying to stop Ferrari from selling sports cars in Hollywood! I presume this guy rides his bike to the studio! Haha

  • I have already signed this petition. Thank you for helping spread the word. It is greatly appreciated by many.

  • aaah I adore him, he really cares *-*

  • i just tried to sign the petition and it says it's closed...? :( thanks for doing this anyway

  • hey, I don't know you, never heard about you, I guess I'm too old ? :) (40:-) ) but thank you for what you doing, it seems like millions of responses to a voice of people like you are finally getting heard by our government, President Obama heard it for sure, maybe GOP's over their counting of their money will hear something too, sincerely Kris Karpinski

  • I'm number 23,825 to have signed it, just now. I admire you for what you do, and how you use your publicity for great causes. Thank you, Ian! :)

  • I signed, Tweeted, and posted on Facebook. Thank you Ian!

  • Thanks for informing me. I just signed the petition.

  • *__* 

  •  love you

  • Omg! Ian, do you know that i love the way you talk? Well, now you know.

    I like this vid, this is awesome!

  • I don't live the us

  • It is less expensive to save jobs than to create new business. Obama saved the American Automotive and Financial industries with TARP (not to mention over 8-millions jobs). Furthermore, the U.S. will likely see profitable returns from the project, and theTeaParty slammed him for it.

    The TeaParty then procedes to push their costly and out-dated energy pet project (keystone pipeline) to create a mere 10,000 jobs (for which many american workers have been deemed "unqualified").

    TeaP = Corp.Commys

  • hippie? what? hes a vampire, a hot one ;) haha, everything you do is great, i totally agree with you with everything! you're amazing

  • Comment removed

  • Hey jackass thank you for helping to kill 20,000 new jobs. While you are at it why don't you give you're money up. I mean really why do you need it so bad. You would not know what a hard days work is.

  • he is hot ! <3 

  • Let's see now. I see so many so-called environmentalists decrying global warming, yet, I see so many driving their gas guzzling cars, wearing their petroleum based material clothing, and, running their air conditioners full blast. Oh my.

  • Well Obama block it.

  • Our job killing President Obama...... I realy didn't think he wanted to put American back to work.....

    I think our country could use another 20,000+ jobs.... Or maybe this nut Somerhalder could take some of his money and open a business to employ 20,000 people insteed of killllllling them....

  • Heeeyyy Ian...you're a rich actor...maybe you could send me a check to help me pay for $5 gas this summer to get to work because there will be no pipeline, thanks to douchebags like you and Barry Soetoro.

    All you anti-American liberal scum can move to Siberia, as far as I'm concerned. Go "save" Ivan's environment.

  • Ok i had no idea who this guy was b4 this vid, all I have to say is he looks like nothing more then eye candy for horny teenage girls. He has a right to say his opinion though even if it is wrong. Look guys Canada is building this thing if we like or not, if Obama says no Canada will build it west toward Vancouver and cell the Oil to China. They have began talks with China already, we must make sure China does not get the oil. If the Pipeline must be built Americans should get it for out future

  • fuck you from all the pipeliners in US!

  • You too. You can take your pipeline and shove it.

  • lov yaaa

  • i will sign

    Lets all sign, it will be of great thanks

  • He's still wearing damons ring

  • How the hell is he a hippie?! If there were more passionate, caring people in this world, maybe it would be a happier place! Keep up the good work Ian! Love you! :) -3

  • @darla666 Calling him a hippie is easy for the small minded, who find it easier to simply put a label on someone or something rather than actually think.

  • just signed, so happy i could take part even though im from the uk, we cant let this happen <3

  • Son, that pipeline will get built no matter how much you pout. Them's the facts and you'll benefit from it when you fill up your limo so let's just stop now.

  • @cbsctomh Pouting? How is speaking up for a good cause, caring about our resources and people, and taking action to promote positive change pouting? It's not. It's call democracy. The permanent jobs that will be created here are tiny in comparison to the contamination that it will cause for millions. Are you for the greater good of the people, or are you for exploiting valuable resources in the name of profit?

  • @GTosca10 Everything around you is a petroleum product or is made using petroleum. Perhaps we should revert to whale oil? There are way more spills in the Oceans from oil tankers than spills from major pipelines. The latter we can abate. You should be an advocate for the pipeIine but then you really have not thought it through. Look, this pipeline will be the best one ever built and the next one will be even better. It will benefit millions and we have no alternatives.

  • @cbsctomh well put, I would also add that there are tens of thousands of miles of pipelines already crossing the Ogalalla aquifer. I bet the President has no idea they are already their, he's basically stupid.

  • @cbsctomh excuse me for using "their" instead of "there"

  • @cbsctomh I think it is you who have not thought things through. Protecting our natural resources, and thus people, against contamination is the most important thing we can do. It is people like you who are short-sighted, who live as though we have an infinite amount of resources. Maybe you'll be able to save some money at the pump. But once we run out of clean air, water and land, etc, we can't buy more. This trend of ever-increasing contamination must change.

  • @GTosca10 Then stop driving your car and heating your home...or Apt. (since you're a gullable twenty something) and live in the mountains or north woods with only hope ane change and see what how you feel after five days and then you can comment on the Country's oil needs. Until then just stop already!!!

  • @cbsctomh There is moderation...Then there is excess. In the US too many people use oil, as many other things in excess. We should also be using more renewable resources to help less total dependency on oil. I notice that you seem to be saying that it is one way or the other; all oil or live in the woods...All I'm saying is we have to use our resources responsibly and that includes protecting land, air, water, etc.

  • @GTosca10 You want to get us off oil. Then the key is to use are own oil so that the price can go down that will = more people buying it which will = them getting more money to put into look for better things to use for energy. As long as we do not use what we have in the USA we are doomed. 20,000 jobs were killed. But hey who cares about that.

  • @GTosca10 I would like to see the United States of America protected from the contamination of liberal slime. What petition can I sign for that?

  • @GTosca10 I might add that it took oil to produce most of the components of your computer. Please stop being a hypocrite and sell it immediately.

  • I'm sure the tea party has one. Go check it out...good luck with that.

  • @USAon3 lol now that's something i wish we could do!you took the words right out of my mouth.you go,USAon3!

  • Dude, you may be an actor, but some folks have to work for a living to buy your damn movies

  • So out of touch with reality. Go back to your California dream world, HIPPIE!

  • Build the keystone pipe line! If one wants to talk about the environment, talk about china the largest polluter in the world, so bad in fact it's changing weather patterns in the USA and for that matter the world. Talk about chinas ground water contamination. Any issues from the keystone can be worked around with proper planning. Miles of trash left in USA by illegal immigrants alongUS border,now there's real contamination; Drug dealers, now there's real contamination.

  • omg he cares about the environment and hes sexy?! OMG hes so perfect!! =)

  • I love this man for what he does and he's a freakin babe and when he's pointing to the screen u see his Vampire Diaries vampire ring :) amazing

  • 36 people think that ian somerhalder is a hippie because he cares about the world...

    well guys then he is a real sexy hippie <3

  • i've signed it ian! always for you hun <3

  • Environmental concerns, OK is it better to ship it to China via steamship, refine and then ship it back. Good point Ian. You need oil, even if you come up with a magic oil replacement tomorrow, you won't be able to implement it over night. So, you get your oil from Canada that pays high wages, is very environmentally aware....or, you get it from a hostile country that aside from the oil is more or less an enemy of the US. And how can you determine in advance the number of leaks, are you kresken?

  • Had to watch it a second time to actually listen to what he was saying, first time I just looked at his gorgeousness!

  • better sell your car hippie.

  • Earth to Ian. Your standard of living is based on the amount of energy you use.

    Just FYI.

  • I almost unsubscribed because I had not seen updates since I last checked. I will look into that petition.  I actually have been using more Youtube than twitter lately....

  • No problem buddy ! I'm pretty sure that China would just love some of our oil . Maybe we if we do that we can refine right here in Canada, so the only problem we`ll have is not enough people to fill those high paying jobs . Like I said , no problem sucker! I mean buddy .

  • This is after all, comin from someone who works in the OIL sands, not tarsands. The USA is all about blind consumption. You think USA is all about protecting the environment, trust me oilsands technologies are FAR MORE advanced and regulated than recovery techniques in middle east. It's easier for your government to hide problems over seas. you aren't changing a thing by stopping the pipeline. You think fuel is expensive now???? Just wait

  • Okay buddy...you show your lack of intelligence regarding oil and gas. The same goes for alot of people commenting on here. #1. The water is re-used again and again, not just once. #2. 1000's of acres of land has been reclaimed, after all it is a 50 year process from start to finish. #3. I agree, big oil is greedy but they do have their place. Ian, you and I need them to survive. Don't forget it.

  • 36 People are just not interest in mother nature. Seriously, what is wrong with you ?!

  • @ItsTeamDamon if america doesnt get this pipeline its gonna go to chinese and make them more powerful and usa weaker..once the american way of life is turned into communism all you tree huggers will be eliminated

  • @408landsharkin Wow. Pookie, you put the dee in deelusional :D

  • if we stop giving our water oil and electricity to the fucking yankees slowly they will deminish as a super power and the won't be able to police the world and maybe there could be peace, they would have to park their war machine, stop giving aid to israel, stop occupying middle east countries and eventually all die like they deserve

  • I agree,as an why should we sell our oil to the u.s.a. china is rich and begging us for our oil the u.s.a has no cash. So why are we going through all this?

  • Why are non of these so called celebs protesting the largest polluter obth

  • Ian, we won! Decision has been made; NO PIPELINE! Confirmed earlier this week :) Thanks for supporting and spreading the news. Your fans love and appreciate you!

  • everytime i try to concentrate on what he's talking i fail, i just stare at him and can't understand a word... <3

  • @rider4343 Woah woah woah! Maybe you should look at a map and see how far apart Canada is from Texas. Here is a link about myths/facts about the pipeline blog.nwf.org/wildlifepromise/2­011/11/the-top-10-myths-vs-fac­ts-about-keystone-xl/ The pipeline is not appropriate to be carrying the types of materials they want it to- making spills all the more likely. I've DONE my research- but it seems you haven't researched both sides before drawing conclusions. Knowledge is power.

  • @rider4343 Minimal impact? Seriously? Have you SEEN the negative influence they can have on our environment? I understand that it may seem that it's the best option- but we have to think about future generations. Us saying NO to this could make the difference between put children having a clean, safe, healthy environment and our great-grandchildren saying the same thing. We are borrowing this land from future generations. We have to think about them.

  • @rider4343 You are entitled to your own opinion- but my opinion is that we need a cleaner, less destructive world. By creating this pipeline we are allowing the destruction of nature; needlessly killing&harming life- hurting future generations by destroying what was once a beautiful, clean, natural place. We need to minimize our impact on this earth in order to sustain generations to come. Otherwise they will be living in a planet-sized landfill.

  • OMG Ian needs 20,000 more signatures !!

    Please

    google "Stop Keystone Pipeline" and SIGN THAT petition!!

    What happens next will define who we are as people and our future!!!!

  • @EdwardvsJacobFan What about the people that need jobs? If we dont say yes then china will pollute us so what is the difference?

  • @EdwardvsJacobFan  Why would you stop it. Give some reasons.

  • @EdwardvsJacobFan pls tell me that the pipeline happens and the hippies dont win

    btw your edwardvsjacobfan name tells me your either a young dumbass or a hippie (worse)

  • Hey Ian those in the real world need gas prices lowered.

    So shup and act and don't preach to us about matters you are ignorant about.

  • @MagicKirin Gas prices lowered? yes but only temporarily until all people start buying that cheaper oil which raises oil prices back up and sucks the tar sands dry, causing a HUGE loss of water to the area's wildlife and residents. yea ...good job in interpreting what's "real life."

    I don't care who speaks up for a good cause as long as they're doing something. Ian can do what he wants

  • @EdwardvsJacobFan

    Long term the oil sands have great potential than Saudi arabia and Canada is an allie. There is no water threat.

    Ian and you show your lack of knowledge on the subject like Julia Lois Drefeyes

  • @MagicKirin Clearly it is you that lacks knowledge on the subject. It takes 3 barrels of water to produce 1 barrel of tar sands oil, and that water can never be reused again. The polluted water is stored in massive waste lagoons that can already be seen from outer space. Keystone 1 has leaked at least 12 times since its construction one year ago, and some 840,000 gallons of tar sands crude spilled into Michigan's Kalamazoo river last year. Keystone XL is the biggest water threat on earth.

  • @dcsd2011

    You are being a luddite, we are not living in a Garden of Eden. this is a viable alternative and we need the enrgy.

    People should not have to pay higher gas prices to make you feel good about the environment

    Drill Baby Drill

  • @MagicKirin

    Wrong again. IF the pipeline were to be built, the only effect it would have on gas prices in the United States would be to increase them. All of this oil has already been contracted out and it is NOT going to the US. So if you really want to help out China with its energy security, go ahead, endorse this pipeline.

    I suggest you do some actual research before you continue vomiting up every blatant lie TransCanada has shoved down your throat

  • @dcsd2011

    that is a lie by you enviro nitwits.

    even the mention of drilling or building the pipeline lowers gas prices.

    Business are far more honest than you environmental activists or 3rd rate actors.

    Drill Baby Drill

  • My friends facebooked this hope it helps you.

  • It is funny how people don't realize that it is the little things that they do that can make such a difference. One smile and a kind word might prevent someone from taking their life. One more signature might stop a dangerous pipeline. One call to the president. You might think that little thing doesn't matter, but it does. Sometimes, you don't have to lose your life to save another life. Sometimes, it is just an easy thing that can turn things around.

  • Could I corrrect something I wrote. It is Harold Hamm, not Herbert Hamm who plans to increase prodution by oil fracking in our western states if that deadly pipeline is built. Both oil fracking and tar sands are water intensive and they don't give the water back. It is a temporary fix, not worth the risk. We already have a shortage of water guys, so why are we doing this. Why are you not signing the petition. Thank you, Ian, for letting so many people know what is happening.

  • Hands up for you Ian, only few of you in the industry have the heart for our mother earth...#Philippines

  • over 90 000 people have watched this video and only 26 456 people have signed the petition.

    I think there is something going wrong...

  • YOU CAN TAKE UP AS MUCH OF MY TIME AS YOU WANT!<333

  • OMFG *__* your soo hawt :D 

  • Oil frackers will expand if keystone pipeline is approved. They are already planning for it. So the effects of the tar sands aren't the only thing to worry about it.

  • Our beautfiul wild horses are being taken off our lands while oil fracers lease our lands. What will happen to our lands and life if this pipeline goes through?

  • It is funny how politics are. Herbert Hamm said he opposed the pipeline, so he could get them to transport his product. He needs the pipeline, so he can increase his oil fracking in Dakota and Montana. The 36th richest guy is going to get alot richer if keystone pipline goes through. What is going to happen to our lands with all the oil fracking too. Saying that it is just to get us by until they can make us energy independent is llama dung.

  • The Chinese would love it if the Americans would say no to the Keystone Pipeline, they have one already on the books ready to go. It's called the Gateway Pipeline.

    The world is running out of oil people, the Chinese know it. Wake up and smell the coffee, these left wing nuts will have you riding bikes everywhere.

  • Naww He's so lovely. I love celebrities who care about the world. Hayden&the whales and dolphins.

And if by some off chance, you do happen to read this, remember that not all your fans like you for your looks some like you for you

  • Since I know you may never read this and I just sound like another crazed fan, I want to say this once, just to get it out of my system. If I were to ever meet you I would have my lifes biggest wish come true. You are my most favorite person in the world.

Ian Somerhalder is one of the greatest actors out there and one of the few who actually gives a shit about our environment! So shame on you for disliking this! He is passionate about this and is trying to save so much wildlife and human lives because this impacts us as much as is does them. So for those of you who do care...PLEASE SIGN THIS! Do it for Ian!! :) <3

  • Number of views do not necessarily equal the number of people. Everyone should watch out for that. Nevertheless, I'm signing. Ian makes a great point and Oil use needs to be reduced.

If we realy didn't care or didn't had the time to come take a look for your message, we wouldn't simply not watch it and take the time to listen --' You're the most amazing, beautiful soul & man on this planet. Guys like you are just unfindable elsewhere <3

  • Hey everyone can sign this petition it doesn't matter if you are outside the U.S. just click the "outside the U.S." bit in blue next to the part wanting your state.
