File under "I must be losing my mind": UFPJ liberal posts with implicit approval Bill McKibben's fronting for Trump on DAPL. Which goes well with these same liberals' apologetics for Trump, Gabbard and especially Putin on a range of issues. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Eisenscher <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 5:01 PM Subject: [ufpj-activist] What Trump actually did on Keystone XL and Dakota Access To: UFPJ Activist List <[email protected]>, NorCal Climate Mobilization <[email protected]> *Amidst all the hysteria over what Trump's done regarding the KXL and DAPL; here's 350's breakdown of the reality.* Our path forward to resisting Keystone XL and DAPL pipelines Friends, It's been 48 hours since Trump signed his executive actions on the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and already more than 50,000 people have pledged to fight these projects to the end. *Trump made it seem like he was approving these pipelines, but he didn't. Both Dakota Access and Keystone XL face legal, procedural and financial hurdles -- not to mention the multi-million person opposition to his administration.* We've stopped these pipelines before, and we can do it again. Here's what you need to know about Trump's actions on Tuesday: - He did *not* approve Keystone XL or Dakota Access. He briefly succeeded in confusing a lot of people on this point (including me, I will admit). - On Dakota Access, he told the Army Corps of Engineers that the pipeline is in our "national interest" and told them to "consider" revoking the environmental review placed on it by the Obama Administration. - On Keystone XL, he invited TransCanada to re-apply and if they do, mandated a final decision on the pipeline within 60 days and waived input from environmental agencies. - And when TransCanada does re-apply, they no longer have permits in Nebraska, and their permits in South Dakota are being challenged. - Trump also placed conditions on approval of the pipelines -- like limiting oil exports, and determining where the steel comes from -- that the oil companies might not accept. And even if either pipeline moves forward, they will face a fierce, mobilized resistance from Indigenous communities and landowners who will bear the biggest impacts of spills and toxic pollution on their lands. *In other words: it ain't over until it's over -- and it's definitely not over.* Every pledge is a demonstration that this mass movement is prepared and ready to resist. We, the signers, are a warning to any company, bank, or politician who chooses to support fossil fuel projects that will further tip our climate past its limits. *More than 50,000 people have already pledged. Together we can make a huge impact. Join the Pledge of Pipeline Resistance. <https://act.350.org/go/13371?t=2&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit&akid=19602.2168.SgWL9j>* These pipelines will transport more oil that we don't need, and that our climate can't bear. We have the solutions to transform our energy system -- and we have the power and will to fight for them.
