President Obama -- Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline to Oblivion
Stop the Keystone Pipeline -- leave the tar sands in Canada. The cost to make fuel from tar sands will offset most of the energy value produced -- and keep the price of gasoline moving higher -- STOP the PIPE DREAM.
Why is this important?
The Canadian Tar Sands are the dirtiest of dirty sources of oil -- and will cost a minimimum of $85/barrel to develope-pipe-and refine. The energy used to make fuel from Tar Sand will be almost as useless a biomass, and corn ethanol. We cannot allow greed and politics to pretent this is good for the economy or the environment. Never mind the pure arrogance of the ongoing construction of the pipeline without formal authorization or technology to refine the mess. Mr. President , please do not approve the Keystone Pipeline
