another instance of the white house and an energy company. another set of e-mails and another set of energy interests and for folks on the right saying you and your green energy are so cozy, this is the opposite. green activists angry at the obama administration for being too cozy with big oil. the other side of the same phenomenon. a pipeline, keystone pipeline stretching from alberta canada to the gulf of mexico. the largest pipeline outside of russia and china carrying a ton of oil, and the oil coming through is particularly crude kind of oil. comes from the tar sands, and activists don t want this to be built. calling it a 1,700 fuse to the largest carbon bomb on the planet. obviously, if we re going to stop climate change we can t be putting more carbon into the air? right? someone telling you they going to go on a diet but first going to build a pie room in their house, right? you would tell them it was a the first thing they should do, not build the pie room. right? or go on
and it s the reason that canada s greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas are predicted to leap by 1/3 over the next decade. for more than a year, the energy company trans-canada has been shipping the oil down the pipeline you see on the map. now trans-canada wants a new, bigger pipeline. the one on the left from canada to the gulf coast. it s a 1,500 mile fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the continent to trigger the final overheating of our planet. it could threaten the nation s farmland, and an acier that much of the midwest depends on for drinking water. for days, environmentals have been lining up outside of the white house demanding that president obama block the project. many have been arrested in their fight to stop the pipeline. joining me now fresh from a two-night stint in a washington, d.c., jail cell, author and founder of 350.org. it s really a pleasure to have
