Wednesday July 17th at the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Hearing, a large number of activists showed up. Because the PUC was holding another hearing on if Enbridge Corporation should be allowed to expand the capacity of the so called "Alberta Clipper" Line 67 pieline, going through Northern Minnesota by 75%. This is the pipeline which will is carrying the XL Tar Sands. This toxic substance is being taken from Indigenous lands in Canada, against their will and destroying land, water and air. Many environmentalist activists and scientists (those not bought off by Big Oil and Big Money Foundation money) are declaring that if this goes through, that it will be game over for Global Climate Change.
Activists from Occupy Minnesota (whom I was with) Idle No More, the Indigenous Environmental Network and 350.org
showed up to show our opposition to it. Some even thought that they could sway the PUC members to do what was right.
Others of us knew better. We were proven right. Again.
