<br>Darryl Hannah spoke briefly at the Aquarius Theater 2 weeks ago about the XL at the<br>screening of "Greedy Lying Bastards". She raised some points I didn't know:<br><br>1) In 12 months the pipeline has already had 12 spills. The pipeline passes over two <br>natural water reservoirs--one in the north and one in Texas--that would be very <br>vulnerable to contamination in case of a spill. I believe she said these reservoirs were<br>fossil water so that if they were contaminated it would be forever. There is no natural<br>regeneration process of natural cleansing in these reservoirs.<br><br>2) The transmission mechanism is very inefficient. The oil must be heated and kept <br>hot (150 F I believe) to permit pumping. <br><br>3) The pipeline is not about delivering the oil to the USA. It goes all the way to the <br>Gulf of Mexico, and it's about delivering the oil to the global market at the global price.<br><br><br><br>I first learned of the Canadian tar sands in 2005 when Michael Ruppert spoke in Eugene,<br>OR. (Had I taken his advice to buy gold at 450--it's now at 1700--my financial status <br>would have been much improved.) Ruppert said that the Chinese were then investing <br>billions in a pipeline to bring the tar oil to market. I would assume this pipeline was routed <br>to a Pacific terminal rather than a Gulf terminal, and so I wonder what happened to the<br>Chinese pipeline and if the whole XL project was as much about denying tar oil access<br>to the Chinese as anything else.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:41:59 -0700<br>From: gerrygras@earthlink.net<br>To: sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org<br>Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Fwd: Time is running out.<br><br><pre></pre><br><br>--Forwarded Message Attachment--<br>Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:40:00 +0000<br>From: HQ@JillStein.org<br>To: santaclara@cagreens.org<br>Subject: Time is running out.<br><br>

<em><strong>Dear Friend,</strong> </em><br><br><strong>After two days of travel, I’ve finally joined the Tar
Sands Blockade in Texas fighting the Keystone XL.</strong> This
pipeline joins Hurricane Sandy as another tragic example of the
establishment’s refusal to address climate change. <strong>With only 5
days until the election, we need all hands on deck to stand up for
ourselves and our environment.</strong> <br><br><a href="https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/donate?e=9de9dff1006bc02f9cc341c26f515fe1880dbddd&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tarsands_1&n=1&recruiter_id=157334" target="_blank"><strong>Time
is running out -- can you pitch in today?</strong> </a><a href="https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/donate?e=9de9dff1006bc02f9cc341c26f515fe1880dbddd&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tarsands_1&n=2&recruiter_id=157334" target="_blank"><img src="http://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/assets/mailings/418/countdown-5.png" alt="countdown-5.png" style="float:right" width="200"></a><br><br>NASA’s leading climate scientist, Dr. James Hansen
has called Keystone XL “a fuse to the largest carbon bomb on the
planet.” Hansen has said that if all the carbon stored in the Canadian
tar sands is released into the atmosphere it would mean “game over”
for the planet.<br><br><a href="https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/donate?e=9de9dff1006bc02f9cc341c26f515fe1880dbddd&utm_source=jillstein&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tarsands_1&n=3&recruiter_id=157334" target="_blank"><strong>Anything
