Keystone XL Pipeline, 3 weeks left!

The State Department now has three weeks until it's scheduled to make a decision on the Keystone XL Pipeline that would run from Canada, all the way through the US to the gulf. Tempers are still reeling over the apparently very cozy relationship between the State Department and a TransCanada lobbyist, as exposed in dozens of emails released by environmental group "Friends of the Earth". Sierra Club's Kate Colarulli discusses.

Enbridge said it stands by its excellent record

“When it comes to the tar sands, Enbridge is Canada’s pusher, pumping dirty oil through unreliable pipelines which are bound to spill,” said Taylor Flook, an organizer with Environmental Justice Toronto. “Averaging at 61 leaks per year for the past 10 years, Enbridge is celebrating over 600 leaks and breaks—and its investors need to know that. Enbridge pipelines are too risky.”

@Pipelinermissouri I take the metro, so nice try. I can't use my vehicle to get everywhere, but I do what I can. What about you? I bet you don't do a damn thing for pollution, because it's not even on your radar.

Green jobs, that's my answer. You raise a straw man argument.

[aaronpolitical]

@Pipelinermissouri You think it's that simple? You think THAT's all we have to avoid, and we'll all be ok? So much for what you "think" or "think not". Because you are not thinking at all.

@aaronpolitical I have not seen any Scientist on the News Broadcast stating that we are all going to have breathing problems from "Keystone" & die from it. *Maybe you watch a different channel than I do.. *Remember when it came out on the news that Coffee caused Cancer--Did you go on the internet and Protest Coffee till your fingers could no longer type? I think Not.

@smartwarlord If only it were that simple.

The oil isn't ours, fool, even if it is produced in our country. You are so gullible.

[aaronpolitical]

@Pipelinermissouri I wish I couldn't wait to tell you "I told you so" when you can't breathe without a mask, for fear of death at the age of 40, but I wouldn't wish that even on the likes of you. Get a grip, actions have consequences, and scientists have brains. Unlike you.
