The reality is Hillary Clinton has finally publicly stated she's opposed to KXL and Barack Obama's rejection of KXL shows his support for her candidacy.
If you want to protect the environment the best way to do it is to reduce demand, not force silly or artificial solutions. |
I just pulled that info from the New York Times -

Normally I would say yes but to reduce demand means implementing alternate fuels for energy which no one will do willingly, after all it costs money. I say stick it to 'em in a way that forces action,
reduce supply so it becomes so damned expensive they have to move to alternate fuels
