By Steven D., Booman Tribune All the Protesting for Naught? Welcome to Tar Sands Nation I guess Bill McKibben’s protests and arrests against US approval of a pipeline to allow dirty Canadian tar sand oil to flow to the United States appears to be all for naught, according to the NY Times:
Woohoo! Access to and production of oil from the second largest deposit of carbon on the planet (next to Saudi Arabia) available for pumping into the ever more CO2 endowed atmosphere of earth is now almost certain to be approved by the Obama administration. Change Big Oil can believe in, at least. So does this mean we will stop off shore drilling in the Gulf and proposals for drilling in the Arctic? I wouldn’t bet on it. By the way, tar sand oil production is up to 10 times dirtier than drilling in the North Sea. It looks like we have found the enemy and it is us, as Pogo said so eloquently decades ago:
Those if us who thought the administration would work to reduce carbon emissions just got the Clark Gable to Vivian Leigh response to our pleas not to approve the Keystone XL pipeline: “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” |
