Let's Build A Pipeline!

An Exxon pipeline in Arkansas broke Friday, and although the mass media didn't seem to be in a hurry to cover the story, here's a video from a residential street where it happened.  This is especially worrisome as the State Department decides whether to permit the Keystone XL pipeline across the United States to deliver Alberta tarsands oil to an export depot in Texas.  The argument seems to be that getting our oil from Canada will be preferable to getting it from the Middle East.  The argument should be that if  it (oil, coal, gas, whatever) is in the ground, it should stay in the ground, and we should be building a sustainable energy system that will obviate this sort of thing.  Call the State Department and register your opposition.
