Are newspapers attempting to increase their readers? Seems to be that since they're attempting to increase the drama of the Keystone XL approval yesterday, now saying the approval may be revoked. The thing is supposedly the spill last week was not supposed to be included in their deliberations in terms of approving this pipeline. I'd love it if TransCanada's spill record really entered into the mix, and would cause this pipeline of the filthiest oil in the world to flow here in the US.

One thing to mention,  Jane Kleeb suggested that we stop reading the headlines. Yes, I've posted many below here regarding today's decision. She posted on FB.  Still maybe the last article from Wapo is worth mentioning, in particular for what the opposing views on the Commission had to say. Maybe we all should join in on a letter writing campaign to thank the 2 elected commissioners on the Public Service Commission for looking closely at the facts, and voting against the Keystone XL, Mary Ridde and Chrystal Rhoades. TransCanada does have a lot of hurdles to overcome. Kleeb thinks there's a good chance that this pipeline will go the way the Energy East pipeline. TransCanada did not get their preferred route, and now  that there's  another, that means more environment impact studies.  The Nebraska Public Service Commission address:  1200 N St # 300, Lincoln, NE 68508.

Quite a few articles reported on  this recent Keystone Pipeline spill. Posting a few more of them here just because I'd like to drive home the point that this has happened, and at a fortuitous time when TransCanada is attempting to garner approval of this pipeline in Nebraska. Some organizations have been attempting to spread the word, to leave a message on the Nebraska Commission's answer machine but when I called earlier this afternoon it was already full yet I do plan to try again later today. The decision is supposed to be given on Monday. So many, including yours truly, are totally against this pipeline going through. A lot more oil spills will happen.
