Tomorrow, the Senate is expected to take up a bill proposing - TopicsExpress

Tomorrow, the Senate is expected to take up a bill proposing whether the Keystone XL pipeline should be built. This will be the 9th time a bill to pass this project has come before the Senate. Senators Portman and McConnell are already co-sponsors, but I called Portmans office anyway to voice my opinion. You should do the same. Just a brief review. Pipelines get built all the time, with little protest. What makes this one different is that Obama had the sole authority to approve it because it was a foreign piece of infrastructure that crossed our northern US border, would pipe tar sands oil down to the gulf, and get shipped around the world. Environmental groups put pressure on Obama to reject it (thought to be an easy win targeting a single politician) but his delays allowed it to become a talking point for Republicans. It is a single pipeline, but the stakes couldnt be higher. This pipeline is much larger than its predecessor, the Keystone, and for those who trivialize its importance, the name literally defines its importance to Canadas ability to transport, and therefore continue further development of, their tar sands oil. Termed Canadian Sour by oil experts, tar sands are a much heavier, toxic & more energy intensive form of fuel that require more refining than conventional oil. Independent economic reviews of this project have found that there will be few permanent job gains (a couple hundred) and no impact on oil prices. In fact, gasbuddy reported that it may actually increase oil prices in the midwest due to the increased refining. The environmental impacts include contaminating the Ogawalla Aquifer and furthering fossil fuel infrastructure for several decades in what NASAs chief climatologist, Dr. James Hansen, called game over for the the climate. Our Republican friends are dangerously wrong on the issue of climate. A conservative approach to fighting global warming is helping the economy embrace incentives that reward renewable energy use, development, innovation and investment, thereby rewarding the cure, not the cause. Instead, powerful special interests have confused a settled debate. Feel free to read more, and please call your reps to set them straight. eenews.net/stories/1060009002
