Peter Jefferson Nichols: Sorry Slate, No Keystone, Big Problem for Tar Sands
Posted on February 28, 2013 | 2 Comments“Blocking a pipeline, isn’t the same as blocking the flow of oil.” Hell yeah it ain’t! Diversity of targets! Diversity of tactics! If I am going to stop the single most profitable and destructive commodity on the planet from permanently spoiling our finite commons, the market place, I’ve got to do more than merely hold rallies and get arrested.
