LISTEN NOW – Tar Sands on the Radio
On January 16, 2012 Jack Eidt of Tar Sands Action Southern California and Congressman Henry Waxman were interviewed on the Keystone XL Pipeline and Canadian Tar Sands.
As a result of the Congressional requirement attached to the two-month extension of the Payroll Tax Cuts, the Obama Administration must make a decision on whether the Keystone XL pipeline is in the national interest and should advance to the next stages of planning and construction. Projected to transport dirty tar sands crude from Alberta, Canada to Texas refineries on the Gulf of Mexico, the President has until February 21st. Activists and environmentalists from Southern California and all over the country are making their voices heard and expressing to the White House the political cost of advancing a project that has not been scientifically evaluated.
