Tar Sands, Obama, and ExxonMobil
Posted April 10, 2012 by nicolas_lampert in Environment
A list of disappointments from the Obama administration would fill a volume, but close to the top would be his support of the Keystone XL pipeline. Obama (and his supporters) might want to check out this documentary about the devastating impact of tar sands on Canada and beyond. Now, imagine if political leaders truly supported renewable energy, instead of the oil and gas industry.
And just to boil your blood, watch the Exxon-Mobil commercial, a visual and emotionally appeal coming from one of the most powerful corporations on earth, and one that has rigorously fought legislation on climate change. Any wonder why Obama walks down the middle, accomplishes nothing at the climate change talks, and speaks the rhetoric of change, while differing little from the long list of corporate presidents, beholden to special interests, and not the general public.
