I think I need to get a mirror out to see if they're breathing!

Maybe folks are just resigned to a foreign oil company carving up our land. They certainly have been busy here for decades. Who knew?

what this means, from the OP:

"to pluck the power of approving the Keystone XL pipeline...from the hands of the Obama administration"

endear themselves to their lobbying masters. After all, the President isn't up for re-election.

This maligned legislation, much to the further rape of our environment, is going to pass.

Anyone want to take 2:1 odds?

Or will there be no outrage? There will be damned little investment in renewable technologies. "Not feasible" says Chevron and Exxon.

This sucks.

band native Americans can garner some national attention....doubtful. They want Enbridge to remove the pipeline from tribal land never ceded to the oil company. It would cause Enbridge some big problems. OTOH, other bands in the general area gave easements to Enbridge; in the case of the Leech Lake band to the tune of ten million dollars.

the system is beyond broken.

money has ruined it.
