From Tom Nelson: Keystone pipeline passes environmental review: It’s the [CO2-induced] end of the world as the Sierra Club knows it, and I feel fine
The State Department released a draft environmental impact assessment of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline Friday afternoon, suggesting the project would have little impact on climate change.

Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune just released the following reaction in a press release just sent out:
“The Sierra Club is outraged by the State Department’s deeply flawed analysis today and what can only be interpreted as lip service to one of the greatest threats to our children’s future: climate disruption…”
From Junkscience:
Read the full Keystone EIS
It’s is driving the enviros crazy this afternoon.
Look at the map of enclosed Keystone pipeline, then look at a map of the routes that the oil tankers take to deliver a comparable amount of oil from the various Middle East producers.
Here’s a one-question quiz for the enviro-idiots:
Which system has the least environmental impact?
“The Sierra Club is outraged by the State Department’s deeply flawed analysis today and what can only be interpreted as lip service to one of the greatest threats to our children’s future: climate disruption…”
I’m sorry to say Michael you are a narrow minded fool.
In this country today the greatest danger to our children’s future is the poverty that will be caused by an economic collapse.
Our country is on the verge of such an economic collapse caused by a government that is spending far more money than the crippled private sector can provide.
The only hope that this country has in avoiding that economic collapse is a recovery that can only be fueled by cheap energy.
Energy is at the root of every product produced by the private sector. Energy refines iron, shapes iron, produces plastics, shapes plastic, purifies water, makes light, powers motors, charges batteries, moves truck and cars. If man made it, he used energy to make it and get it to where you see it.
A reduction in the cost of energy would reduce the price of all goods and services. This reduction in prices would lead to increases in demand for goods and service that would kick start the economy leading to higher employment rates that will reduce welfare rolls, unemployment payments and to an influx of revenue to the government.
I can think of no other thing that can accomplish the turnaround that this country must have to avoid economic collapse. Tax cuts alone just won’t do it at this point.
The United States is an energy rich country. If we do not exploit those riches and as a consequence suffer the economic collapse that causes the poverty and civil strife that economic collapse that will ensue from such a collapse we will have people like you Michael to blame.
I wish someone with a whole lot of money produce a hour long documenty to re-educate the public and remind the public of the enviruses lies, tricks, and deceit.
That term “secured the retirement of coal plants” is enviro-speak for “forced the closure of...”.
No, I think instead he is a money-grubbing liar. I'm sure he makes a handsome living perpetrating this massive hoax.
You may have a point but only a man with no love for his country would make his daily bred to the determent of his native land.
I would rather think a man a fool than to think he was such a man.
The “enviruses” don’t seem to want to accept that basic command. :)
Understand.
My husband is on the Marine Transportation committee that is doing the re-evaluation of the shipping end of the coal terminal. A big part of the problem is that the push for the coal terminal is coming straight out of the White House and you know what that means for WA State. It means the fix is in and it will be really difficult to stop it. It is possible, though. There is some talk that the Longview and Oregon terminals may get passed, but not the Whatcom County terminal. We will see. The unions are putting a lot of pressure on both parties and In Whatcom County, most of our politicians have union ties, if not themselves, their wives.
The coal pushers keep telling us that the coal trains will come anyway, but that just isn’t the case. The planned expansion of the Canadian coal terminals is not intended for moving U.S. sub-bituminous coal, but rather Canadian coal. Constant coal trains, traveling the whole coast of WA is just not a very attractive idea, not good for the health and well-being of the the communities along the way, to say nothing of the negative economic impact. The most heavily impacted community will be my own, nearest the proposed terminal, where they plan to do next to nothing to protect the community from the coal dust.
This will make Ed Baglady Jr. jump off a high windmill.
