4. So Ignore Russian Oil Spills?

Too bad Russia Today doesn't mention the constant oil spills in Russia that are the equivalent of a Deep Water Horizon disaster every 2 months. Of course they want to go after our coal, fracking and oil industry, but they completely ignore news related to the massive damage impacting Russians much more than here in the US and Canada where there are more restrictive laws to help prevent pollution. Granted we can do better, but Russia is not the best country to give us advice.

Sorry, I can't agree that he is "sane" when he goes on RT which we know is controlled by the state, and then fails to bring up the Russian oil spills.

Thom Hartmann is also more concerned about us, since he can have little influence on Russia.

NY has banned fracking. The next step is to continue moratoriums on tar sands process while PA gets it's fucking act together on it's own version, a much worse one than NY.

Banf was the site of the Olympics in the 80's and the continental divide runs in that area. Think of it like putting the biggest, greasiest application of Brylcreem on the part in your hair.
