If this was S1813, then yes. If not, I don't know, but Obama has stood strong on this so far so no reason to think he'll cave now. At least I hope he doesn't cause if he does there will be a whole lot of disappointed voters out here.
I am vraiment Canadien and opposed to the pipeline.There are few jobs, huge environmental risks and we need to get off of skanky fossil fuels.The smart grid would be the largest infrastructure project the world has ever known.We need a National Energy Policy to keep prices down while we wean ourselves off.Cars should be banned from our cities.Vancouver is adding 20,000 cars a year to the city streets and not 1km of road.Gridlock is inevitable.Sure some of Vancouver's suburbs have room for growth, but the Fraser Valley is some of the most productive farmland on earth.I worked on 5 stations of the Canada Line subway.It's a 10 lane super hwy condensed into one.You can go from the airport to downtown in 17 to 21 mins; 3X faster than by car and probably as fast as a helicopter.We are acidifying our lakes, rivers and oceans.Carbon monoxide is taking a decade off everyone's lives and who wants to see another BP rig disaster?No one in my 400 unit apt can even have a car, the parkade is deserted, theft and vandalism are endemic.The parkade is 95% vacant.My scooter was vandalized twice and stolen.I'm taking the bus now.
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
—Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
