It won’t wean us off foreign oil.

It is, by no means, a “job creator.”

There will be spills—and cover-ups.

It’s robbing farmers of their land.

And let's not forget that it is taking away from the Native Americans sacred land.

1.    It’s a topic that’s nearly yawn-worthy, environmentalists spouting their rage at an oil company trying to build a pipeline. Big deal, right? We all want lower gas prices, and more oil means cheaper gas.

   Except that’s not the way the world works anymore, and there really is a serious threat to our food and water from a pipeline, the fate of which is expected to be decided this summer 
   The oil itself is filthy—refining tar sands oil releases 17 percent more greenhouse-gas emissions than other type of oil—and it’s twice as difficult to clean up when spilled. But oil-friendly politicians and TransCanada, the company trying to build the pipeline, have been on an aggressive campaign to convince Americans that we need another massive pipeline. Let's protect the Native Americans right to land and freedom!
