Robert Redford: ‘Keystone Pipeline Would Carry the Dirtiest Oil on the Planet’

OpEd: Jack
Another Limo Liberal spouting nonsense...wondering how many gallons of fuel Mr.Redford burns per month...most likely 1000% more than the average citizen...hypocrisy at it's worst!

There’s a domestic energy boom happening in America producing thousands of jobs with the likelihood of creating thousands more if Washington doesn’t get in the way.
Not according to Robert Redford who published a scathing attack on such efforts at the Huffington Post Sunday evening calling on President Obama to “say no” to the Keystone pipeline.
“Real economic security is found in clean energy,” predictably wrote Redford. “That’s our future, not dirty energy that threatens us with ever worsening harm from climate change.”
Never mind that renewable energy projects supported by this President have failed to produce either the energy or the jobs promised.
Environmentalists such as Redford always seem ignorant of such inconvenient truths.
But he was just warming up.
“The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would carry the dirtiest oil on the planet from Canada to America’s Gulf Coast’s refineries and ports, and then most of it likely exported overseas,” Redford bloviated. “It would promote one of the most damaging industrial practices ever devised, to coax low-grade crude oil from tar sands.”
“We don’t need another pipeline for Canadian tar sands,” he continued. “It’s not in our national interest but is a profit scheme for big oil that needs to be rejected.”
Jobs and cheaper energy are in our national interest, Mr. Redford.
But sadly, such things are never important to environmentalists.
