The Keystone Pipeline

Here is what I wrote to President Obama about the pipeline that would run from the oilsands in Alberta, Canada to the US midwest.

Keystone Pipeline.

Dear Mr. President,

The Keystone Pipeline has many good and bad points and I won't add to that.

What I do want to say is that if you decide to permit the pipeline, you have a great bargaining chip with Big Oil and big oily congress.

If you decide to build it, make Congress pass some compensating legislation. How about taking the $6 billion giveaway to oil companies and putting it to fund renewable energy?

How about forcing them to pass real job creation legislation such as you have been touring the country to promote?

Keep up the pressure. The Occupy Wall Street and all the other Occupy's are getting the message to people. Did you know there is an Occupy Fairbanks Alaska?
