Tar sands oil is a scam— it’s foreign crude destined for foreign markets. We get the spills, and we get the global warming, and the oil industry gets the profits. (Also, we know that you get campaign donations as well, but that’s not an excuse to endanger the planet.)

Environment Petition: Stop a New Oil Pipeline Across the Midwest - Deadline June 6

The United States may be about to let oil giant TransCanada build 1,702 miles of pipeline — they call it “Keystone XL” — to funnel highly toxic tar sands from Alberta, Canada, all the way to refineries in Texas and Louisiana.

The only person standing between TransCanada and its plan to corrupt the American Midwest and vulnerable Gulf Coast in the name of oil profits is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who can either approve or deny the Presidential Permit needed to cross the US-Canada border.

Today is the very last day for public comments on the project. Please click here to sign the petition now, opposing the pipeline.
