To: Pete Ricketts for Governor

Demand That Pete Ricketts Denounce The Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska

Nebraskans have a proud tradition of being good stewards of the land. Your failure to oppose the Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska stands in stark contrast to the legacies of Governors on both sides of the political aisle. In the home of Arbor Day, it is intellectually dishonest and intellectually indefensible not to oppose the Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska.

Why is this important?

Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Chuck Hassebrook's opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline goes beyond concern for his state: primarily, he's worried about climate change.

But Hassebrook's Republican challenger, Pete Ricketts, is all for the pipeline saying, it will help create jobs, and I think the fundamental question we're facing here in the state is how we grow Nebraska?

Hassebrook, though, has a different plan for jobs in Nebraska. He wants to tap the state's vast potential for wind energy--which was ranked fourth in the nation.
