In response to the 62-36 Senate vote to force approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, Stephen Kretzmann, Executive Director of Oil Change International, released the following statement:
“The Senate has voted to approve Keystone XL, and has chosen to once again side with Big Oil’s money over our climate and our future. In other news, the sun will set in the west this evening. We look forward to the President’s veto of this bill, and ultimate rejection of the permit for this dangerous tar sands pipeline.”

Our children and grandchildren face a very different and “new” world if we allow existing fossil fuel developments to be expanded. We have an opportunity to make an informed choice for our shared future, rather than continuing with the destructive and unhealthy status quo regarding energy resource use. Let’s think and act, based on the strength of climate science.
