<p>[quote user="samfp1943"]</p> <p> Most of the excitement over it seems to be generated in other areas of the Country. As various advocacy groups whip up their base groups to be in whichever side of the issue they want to cause their issues publicity ( either FOR, or Against). I know that is pretty cynical, but these days it seems to be the case/ and motivations are a case of "Follow the Money".<img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_2cents.gif" alt="My 2 Cents" /> [/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I agree that the reaction to the pipeline is far greater in the country at large rather than just in the area along the pipeline route.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I do not see that the reaction at large springs up either <span style="text-decoration: underline;">for</span> or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">against</span> the pipeline as a case of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">follow the money</span>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I see the reaction springing up solely against the project, and being a case of follow the green movement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bone of contention is not oil spills per se, although those are part of the objection, but the overarching issue is opposition to the use of fossil fuels and causing climate change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current administration, in my own humble opinion, has its boot on the neck of fossil fuel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is as clear as day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are not so much worried about spilling oil as they are against using it.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
