Clinton Says Yes To Alberta Clipper

Well she did it. SoS Clinton granted a presidential permit to allow the trans-border Alberta Clipper pipeline to enter the US. Not surprising. It's the kind of decision we can expect from DC regardless of who is sitting in the power seats. But still...

No need to go into the bloody details of tar sands extraction. It's an ongoing environmental catastrophe that has been covered extensively. The important thing now is that court challenges are being prepared to reverse this decision. Enviro and native groups are doing that through Earthjustice.

For starters you can find out more at Earthjustice and at Indigenous Environmental Network. I will update with actions we can all take as they become available. Stay tuned.
