The reasons they oppose the project are so far out in left field, they aren't even in the ballpark.
More than 300 anti-Keystone XL protesters were arrested Sunday afternoon outside the White House in the latest push by environmentalists to convince the Obama administration to reject the Canadian oil pipeline.
The student-led protest, organized by XL Dissent, started with a rally at Georgetown University. The students marched from there to the White House — with a stop at Secretary of State John Kerry’s house along the way.
Students from 80 colleges participated in Sunday’s event, and another protest will be held on Monday in San Francisco, said Aly Johnson-Kurts, a freshman at Smith College and one of the organizers of the event.
“The youth really understand the traditional methods of creating change are not sufficient … so we needed to escalate,” said Johnson, shortly before she was arrested at the White House.
An organizer estimated the crowd at about 1,200 people. U.S. Park Police could not immediately provide a count of those arrested Sunday afternoon.
Organizers held civil disobedience training on Saturday to ensure that the demonstration went peacefully.

My three boys all went through college, 3 different ones, I’ve met zillions of college kids and I have never met any that were that stupid and uninformed.....but marching on Washington to protest a private company building a pipeline borders on idiocy....
Re your post 13, there’s not enough mustard in the world to cover those hot dogs.
I pride myself in knowing that at that age I would never done anything like that.

Not defending the protester but the section of the Keystone project they are protesting
is the Keystone XL section of the Keystone Pipeline. This the the 4th section.
Sections 1, 2 and 3 have been completed.
Hmm, I wonder why the press isn’t covering the protest where all the concerned environmentalist are suspending driving cars, boycotting petroleum based products (including all the fancy bottled water), house paints, polyester, etc.... (/s)
How many of these nitwits liven even within 500 miles of the proposed route of the Keystone pipeline?
Does the sign the chick in black is holding actually read “No Dirty Foss Fools”???
No one is even fracking the tar sands. They mine them and process the sand to remove the bitumen.
More and more is SAGD over mining.
Who told these pukes that the world would end if fracking continues??
There professor types? yes
Consensus reality....particularly amongst the young... keeps going further and further far afield from the REAL world doesn’t it.
many appear to have been fracked by their water pipe Hookah,,usage
Truly ‘useful idiots’
If I saw one of mine there, they could kiss their tuition and any other financial support good-bye. I’m not paying for them to skip class, act foolish and get a rap sheet.
There is some serious distortion going on in that photo. Look at the legs of the people laying down.
