As much as I loathe the damage spills cause, at least this one did happen BEFORE the damn thing is approved. I hope it does spark more debate and opposition to the Keystone XL. We need to put our money, time, and effort into energy sources that are CLEAN, renewable and distributed rather than concentrated(so they cannot fund and fuel more of the oligarchy the oil boom has fueled).
The movie Thrive discussed some possibilities, Dr Keshe has even more on his site and in the videos, and anyone with even a passing familiarity with Tesla is aware that the a/c we use to keep our lights on and refrigerators cold is hardly the end all of his work and discoveries.
There is simply NO reason to continue polluting our planet, poisoning people, animals, fish etc to burn ancient sunlight.
